Here is a rather simple question with a "yes" or "no" answer. It just happens to be phrased in a roundabout way, but that shouldn't disturb you if you find a way to reduce it to it's fundamentals.

Yes or no?(The answer to this question is obviously yes. The one you did after the one you did before this one, Is this one. In other words: "...the puzzle you sokved after you solved the puzzed you solved before you solved this one" Is this one. hence the question may be rephrased this way: "if the puzzed you solved before this one was harder than THIS ONE, was the puzzle you solved before this one harder than THIS ONE?")

suggestion: post a whole bunch at a time... no reason, just seems like a bigger incentive to come play _________________ GTX: Great Teacher Xeno... my daily blog about teaching in an elementary and middle school in Japan (see right-menu)
I'm sorry, you're all wrong, the right answer is a 2 ton sumo-assassin trying to escape from the scene of the crime on his mini mono-cycle. And if Trueline says the correct answer is a cold, then he's wrong too
edited by Long_Gun> even if this answer was right, you still need to use Spoiler tags not quote tags!
Edit: sorry... wrong tag
