As an example, your report might look like this: Pardon me if I appear to be speaking for the others, but to me this is one of the distracting `features' of the quiz lately--vague problem formulation. Personally, I have just too much of this stuff at work. :-) To me, the appeal of the quiz is that problems are clearly formulated and can be solved in reasonable time. Also, put it one way or the other--the quiz is like a challenge, and it's always interesting to see how your solution compares to what others have come up with. When the problem statement is that vague, it's not very likely that anyone can reasonably compare his solution with any other one... Please come back to short, clearly stated quizzies, and I believe most of us will participate with great enthusiasm! :-) -- Hope this helps, Alex
