Scoring System Everyone who responds with a correct answer will recieve some kind of point. The value of this point will be based on how many people respond with a correct answer. This week over 20 responded with a correct answer so only one point is awarded. The lower the amount of correct answer, the harder the question and thus the higher the points. The Puzzle Quiz will run for at least 3 months. A clarrifiction on a rule has come to my attention. When it wwas stated that you would lose points if you saw the answer in a book this meant only AFTER you read the puzzle on the net. If you had seen the answer before then there is no penalty. However if you find the answer after you have read it on the net you will lose points. In the event that a puzzle becomes to hard (no responses at all) the Puzzler will post hints to the net in the middle of the week. -- The Puzzler ariel!djm
