We know full well that people are going to help each other out solving some puzzles. Heck, we’ve done that ourselves. Not a problem at all, it’s a great way to connect with other folks and expand your repertoire of puzzle solving tricks.

However……with facebook often being the venue for such things, this is just a gentle request that when you put out a call for help, it might be nice if those offering help remember there is a private message function there. When solve help goes to such a public venue, the difficulty of a puzzle is definitely affected as that travels through the social media network. Kind of the new wave of the much discussed puzzle bus of the past.

Thank you.
