I don't know why you think that because it's taking a while to reach the answer, we're not having fun. We are Lemmings fans, after all.
We can have a rule that if a majority of active players want to end the round, the master reveals the answer, but I strongly object to the idea that the round could be ended prematurely just because someone was busy and didn't get round to posting within 24 hours -- especially when this is the first really good puzzle we've had in this game.
Okay, it's all up to you guys, majority sounds fine to me. I merely want to make sure I don't end up killing the thread.
but ccexplore thought we would get this one easily
Please ignore that, as I'm pretty sure my brain totally farted when I thought that would be the case.
I now would say this is clearly harder than any of the previous rounds, due at least in part to the crazy way the rule came about (even though it is still fairly straightforward to describe verbally in a sentence or two, maybe).
Even ignoring all the guesses, I myself have quickly recognized how unreasonable it is for me to think this rule would be easier. On hindsight I should've eliminate one part of the rule so it is truly easier, but doing so would affect the initial koans as well. On the previous round I mastered, I already started considering which classes of rules are intrinsically more difficult to deduce/induce/recognize patterns for, yet I totally failed to take that into consideration when I started this round.
