<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have to agree with Robin. I =
find it a
very useful tool to use imagery and reasoning to understand
other peoples problems/findings. It =
helps me to look
outside the box when I see everyone else respond with answers from =
their own
logical thinking and compare them with my own =
thoughts. It
gets me away from having "tunnel vision" where once I determine =
what I
think it is, I spend all night looking for that one problem.
That's a bad habit. So I like to see other ideas and other =
abstract
thoughts that might lend to me knowing other solutions. I =
don't
think someone would honestly come here with a puzzler that is so =
commonly
known like a coin in between some keys and think we could or =
could not
guess that. That is just nonsensical. Certain situations =
are great
for deductive reasoning, and some are not. I guess I expect =
anyone
willing to submitt a puzzler would know where the line is drawn =
between
the two.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Hold on there.I for one find the puzzlers educational.Reading the =
<BR>various guesses is a good excercise in deductive =
reasoning.Sometimes I
<BR>have the answer or get it by seeing wrong answers.I think it is =
good
<BR>practice in trouble shooting,and if it is a problem you haven't
<BR>encountered yet,It can be stored away in the mind.And when you
<BR>actually come across it you might just have a solution and save
<BR>yourself alot of
=
time. &n=
