Just to throw in my two cents worth, the new points system means that this book is worth a lot less points in total than the other Advanced Puzzles books. It leaves me feeling a little bit shortchanged.

While I can see the logic of relating the number of points to the difficulty level, maybe a multiplier of 3 (instead of 2) would be fairer and would bring the total number of points available a bit closer to the total available in the other books.

I'll probably leave out the solutions at first, can always add them later
(with or without the "remove points feature")

edit: alright, a bit sooner than expected, volume IV should be available now at:

I personally like the idea of fewer rather than greater points per puzzle... [smile]

I just wrote out a puzzle by hand and solved it. It was a 3 star puzzle and should therefore have been worth 6 points, but I only received two points for solving it? [confused]


Thanks, I did test it, but on a 1 star puzzle only I think..

will check and fix

edit: the testing I had done on my local PC, and on the live server I had forgotten to load the star ratings of the puzzles... [blush]

fixed now [smile]

Patrick,
Do you know how many points are available for Vol IV?

I could do the work myself, but I thought I would ask to save myself the effort.

Thank you,

Yes, it's one database query for me [drool]

This should be 1070 points.

The distribution:
1 star: 4
2 stars: 20
3 stars: 17
4 stars: 36
5 stars: 46
6 stars: 11

Seeing this I realize I'm counting the twin puzzles twice [cursing]
(and I included the "warmup" puzzles..)

will do the numbers tomorrow [sleep]

Thank you.
I appreciate the effort.
I know that I like knowing how much a book is worth. I suspect others do to.
And I would like to be able to have complete data on the post that lists all the books.

Ok, the actual number is: 940 points
