| Jan 6, 2018 at 20:04 | comment | added | Beastly Gerbil | One note I'd make: you say 'try to find answers to already solved questions'. This isn't always a good thing to encourage - for logical deductions and maths puzzles it is great to have different proofs/way to find the answers, but for riddles and such we don't really want duplicate answers. The majority of new posts/low quality posts in the review queues are new users answering already solved questions with duplicate answers... | |
