Sigh .. I simply cannot keep up ..

Should we stop them from coming? LOL

I admit that a lot of new puzzles have been getting in lately. New and old authors are full of inspiration and muse. I can only say - well done! :thumbup:

It keeps us extremely busy in the publisher: checking every single puzzle, trimming if necessary, splitting multi correctly, categorizing, organizing... we do it in honor and admiration!

BTW, you may find the following news message interesting:

On July 12th one needed 765 days to solve 43298 Griddlers. Today we have 50,819. :|
Note the last sentence in this news: There is a common belief that life can be extended if one enjoys it. Since we have fun here - we will live longer! :-)

:flower: Here, with us! :-) :hiding:

I tend to agree that there are too many minimalisms. I am not sure of the point of them. They are too easy to solve & the end results aren't great.

I suppose they are good for beginners though.

30 MILLION PUZZLES???

HOW do you expect anybody to get a sense of accomplishment when the amount is so HUGE? What I mean is it's like getting that satisifaction of finishing a very hard game that you've spent hours playing. Only to turn around & have more of the game still waiting for you. :shock:

Has anybody even come close to solving everything? If so, HOW did they do it? We all have our favorites & least favorites (mine are the large black/white puzzles - my mind just can't seem to break them down as easy as multiple colors). :scratch:

Also, on a side note, what is the amount of new puzzles posted daily? An average total is fine.
:dontknow:


While I have your attention, how many new people sign up on here daily? :hello:


Don't get me wrong - this isn't a negative post. It's just shock from finding out the vastness of this site!

I LOVE THIS SITE!!!
:notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:

Where @ on the home page?

30 MILLION PUZZLES???

Today about 60.000 puzzles are solved each day - you can check it out by looking the the number of solved puzzles on the homepage.


Not in the past years for sure. Have a look at the topsolvers list - you'll see how far the topsolvers are away from solving them all. However, with Triddlers it is still possible.


Lmdemasi has some stats about Griddlers in his site which show this.

I have no idea. I'm afraid though that most people who enter will decide after one or two puzzles that it's not for them. But the ones that 'get' it return on a daily basis. At busy times the number of solvers is over 1300 users.


Me too :sunny:

In the beginning, I was able to catch up and keep up with the Triddlers, but not anymore. There are so many coming in each day now that, unless one has an exceptionally large amount of free time on his/her hands, I think that it's impossible to keep up with them anymore. It's certainly impossible for the average working stiff like myself.
