A quick question for everyone (no puzzle)

Last year I ran a puzzle competition with about 20 entrants. It seemed to go well, a good time was had by all, no outstanding problems. The competition was structured thusly:

1) It was all done by e-mail. 2) It featured 4 rounds (one round per week) with 5 puzzles per round and 5 points per correct answer. 3) Each puzzle featured 1 maths problem, one logic problem, one lateral thinking problem, one wordplay puzzle and one 'other' which varied from round to round but was usually a sequence or secret code type thing.

If I were to do it again, how many of you would be interested in participating? Please note that if I *did* do this, it wouldn't be for at least 3 weeks to a month. That's basically all I wanted to

Hi Dave,

About last year. I missed the answers to the last round which you normally should have posted to the news group after the contestants had finished answering. Also I never seen the final score of the contest. You seem to have vanished from the Earth. What happend?

Regards

Count me in.

I would be interested in seeing ALL of the puzzles and results (re)posted, if you still have that information available. I entered, but had to drop out due to time restrictions with my then-pregnant wife. My now-teething 5 month old daughter is taking up more, so I probably won't enter this one at all.

Yeah, I'm sorry about not being able to fully wrap up the competition here on rec.puzzles (although all the entrants got the last rounds answers & final scores - I hope!). I had a bit of financial trouble round about that time last year which forced me to relinquish all non essential entertainment expenses (ie. the net). Still, I'm *very* happy to report that my circumstances are much improved. I'll e-mail you the final answers & scores if you like as I don't really want to unnecessarily clutter up the board with puzzles from last years competition. Is that Ok?

Regards

Selamat siang

Sent it.

Good to know that puzzling is taking you away from other worthless pursuits... like maintaining a steady job.

But count me in provided you don't reveal my probably pathetic score. (or at least my real name
