<Tom 7> Well, I'll cop to rating this one before I beat it...
Rating rigidity is clearly senseless until you've beat it, but I think it is possible to accurately assess style and difficulty for a level like this (I've certainly spent a lot of time time trying it...!)
Unfortunately, I think showing the ratings separately would be pretty useless since almost nobody rates without solving. So is it worth just turning off pre-solved rating? It's easy to do, but I feel like it could leave some really good and hard levels (that have gotten a lot of play time) with too little feedback. |

<Tom 7> Brian definitely gets my vote for the highest "average difficulty", although Joshua is not far behind. More levels from everyone, hooray!!
<Max> Haha, no, I only meant that you're the only one who has solved "Hardest IQ Carrier (EXPERTS ONLY!!)", if I'm not mistaken.
But I do agree you should make some levels, as hard a time as I have solving yours... |

<bpotetz> It would also be cool to see ratings histograms. That way we could tell which levels are unanimous and which ones are both loved and hated.
On the other hand, there's no rush on that feature since most levels only have 3 or 4 ratings so far. |

<bpotetz> Wow. If I'm an expert, than you must be too, Max. I play a lot of levels, but you write a lot, and writing is harder.
I should write some more levels.
Probably Tom knows a couple things about escape, too. |

<bpotetz> (SPOILER) Congratulations, mjn. Good job. I also solved it using some symmetric circuits.
<mjn> (SPOILER) Hey, this wasn't so bad, actually--I found that the rotation squares made it easy to splice circuits together.
Still took a good half hour to work it out on paper, though! Nice level...

<Max> I agree, Joshua. I think ratings should be tabulated separately, among those who have solved the level and those who haven't. This would be a little complicated, but often the style of a level is highly dependent on the solution. And it's pretty much a guess to rate rigidity before having solved a level. Really the only reason to rate a level before solving it is to express that you are having trouble solving it. |

<Max> You sure can!
<sarah> Can I vote this as "cutest level"? |

<Max> (SPOILER) IQ Carrier is pretty tough to beat. Come to think of it, I think you're the only official Escape "Expert", Brian. ;) |

<Max> (SPOILER) This is the second version of "Single File", made to outlast the orginal, "Pre-broken" version, which will likely be but a memory in the Broken directory after Tom executes the Final Solution to the Dalek Question. |

<Max> (SPOILER) That's what I suspected... Might as well make bug reports creative though, eh? ;) Still, part of me will miss this unexpected behavior... |

| Thanks a lot, Hugbot (advanced?) |

<mlc> (SPOILER) I kind of think Max's solution (which is like mine) is actually the intended one, not a cook, as I couldn't solve this any other way...

Not quite as bad as IQ CARRIER, I guess. |

Some of these are easier than others. |

These are pretty neat.
So, I'm still a bit confused. Are nushae & Yoshio Murase the same person, or not? |
