difficult doesn't always equal fun... Especially when taken to extremes...

Imagine a windy bridge that one must navigate completely from start to finish without any walls... I wouldn't find that puzzle fun at all...

I agree. Dexterity puzzles are not fun at all. A little dexterity here and there isn't so bad but a whole puzzle of that is no fun (not trying to knock the red se :D ) but I was thinking about silver type hard. Now that's fun!

Clarification on disappointed:

In other words, are you saying you'll personally provide a full refund to those that crack your puzzle within a week !! ;)

A long place with no walls, but many branches and no clear way to map in the negative until you get there on accident? Would seriously, ultimately SUCK!

Totally not what I'm doing. My focus is on fun with new elements heretofore unseen.

I wonder if there will be a NDA [nondisclosure agreement] with the orange submission? I am still working on how to have the springy snake pop out when it's opened....

also thinking about replacing the certificate with a battery and making it shock you when you fall into a trap or ride a wall.
