I must agree with many, that puzzles get old. Personally I liked seeing the different solutions to the puzzles for a while, but personally I dont see any real world use. I mean can not most puzzles be solved using AI search techniques.
Please do not take this as a complaint, I LOVE the contensts (although I have never entered), and think they give some of us challenges we need.
If you wanted to give a real world problem, and make it fair you could judge the contest based on when the project was submitted, vs how well it works. Meaning if the project was submitted on the frist day of the contest, and it worked flawlessly, then obviously the contest would be over. Too allowing only 1 submission per user, would curb the users who want to keep submitting a project every day until the contest is over. I can see how this too could be dificult to implement...
Thanks
