- The rec.puzzles FAQ is incredible. It covers an enormous range of puzzles.
-
- The only problem is... it's *too* big. Few first-time posters to the
- newsgroup are going to read it all.
-
- I propose that somebody creates a mini-FAQ containing the *really*
- frequently asked questions... Proposed entries:
-
- "What is the next term in this sequence? 1, 11, 21, 1211, 111221,
- 312211..."

- "When I was in <generic geeky environment>, we used to do situation
- puzzles. Such as:
-
- A man is lying, dead, in the desert, with a match in his hand.
-
- Does anybody know where any more of these can be found?"
-
- What do you think?
