    Well, I could not rate it a 8/5…….

    Speaking of building new puzzles….

    Oh man, did you serve that up just for me? How nice of you 😈

    So, just to pose a hypothetical here. What if I want to place a bison tube, hidden in dense foliage, on an island, with coordinates that put you in the middle of the water so you have to scour a large radius without knowing if you’re in the right spot or not. Would you consider that “not difficult?”

    Ace….

    I would call it unpublishable.

    Of course, to get this stuff through, some people lie to the reviewer, claiming that the online maps are wrong. Others have given the reviewer wrong final coordinates, with the puzzle yielding different results. (This is why we ask for a solution on difficult puzzles.) Still others change their puzzle after publication and don’t update the online coordinates. If you run into someone who has done this sort of misdeed to “make the find more challenging”, feel free to smack them around a bit for me.

    Is that an official request?

    It is an unofficial order.
