Well Allemano I was trying to attract more Rookie response that has been lacking recently but as my last batch has all been on a certain theme I guess I have found a Rookie expert on these cars.
The problem is that there are very few easy puzzles left to post but I may be mistaken on that.
On reflection I will try to find a more varied selection for the rookies in future ........

At least he is an Expert expert now.

I think it's absolutely okay to post rather easy puzzles.
We "old" ones sometimes lose touch with what's easy or a difficult puzzles.
The level has become insanely high compared to the good old days when it all started....

Recently I got feed back from frustrated Pro-puzzlers who left the board as they found puzzles too difficult to solve.

I believe there are still many "easy" puzzles still to be posted that should be added to the AutoPuzzles repertoire of covering all cars - both well-known and the more obscure.
Posting well-known cars that have not yet been posted may well attract more newcomers to the site.

On the subject of frustrated Pro-puzzles finding the puzzles too difficult to solve I would suggest that the poster should add clues to help with an eventual solution.
I have to say that I dislike puzzles that end up in the BH when the poster could at least keep the puzzle going by dropping a few hints.
Just a few of my own views on the subject.......

I agree fully.
I've been trying to make the point about the necessity to make it still interesting for Pro's too elsewhere on this forum, but I still don't think it has been resolved satisfactorily.

It's OK to post some easier puzzles for the Rookies to get started; this site is the world's best database for rare and unusual cars, and some of the one-offs and concepts need to be posted just to get them on to the system, even if as a concept they are very well known!

I think the fun is the process of solving, even if it's easy or complex. The clues for increasing the possibilities of solving the puzzles are the main attraction. Everybody wants to get the answer!  That's why I agree.
