Of Puzzles and Cheating

I think I agree with most of the article and that it applies to most games, not just puzzles. Also some interesting comments in the original link.

“When I started constructing crosswords for the Times, friends began to ask me what constitutes ”cheating“ when you’re solving a crossword puzzle. I’m not sure why making the puzzles (or even being a regular solver of them) renders me an expert, but I’ve tried to supply answers over the years, and I’ve gotten to the point where I have a usual response that I’m comfortable with.[…]

To put all of that in a nutshell, I think a good rule of thumb is that you should do whatever research doesn’t make the puzzle trivial. If it’s a ”What do these things have in common“-type puzzle, then don’t just google the list. If it’s ”Who won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar in 1975“ (which I promise never to ask), don’t go to the IMDb’s list of Oscar winners. Etc.”

The HandyDandy

“The Handydandy consists of five Media-artists from Austria (Bauch Bernhard, Gross Luc, Kirisits Nicolaj, Savicic Gordan, Waldner Florian) making music on their mobile telephones instead of using usual Music-instruments. The mobile Telephones are used only as interfaces and they are connected, via Bluetooth, to a computer network, a virtual opposite to the ”human network“ music-band.

The entire instrument served by the musicians, is thus divided into the mobile telephones, the Bluetooth connections and the laptops acting together over WLan. Thereby different Feedback systems on social and digital level, which are used for the compositions, develop. The selection of this configuration makes possible to use not only the movement in space as temporally akusmatic category but also to connect the powerful aesthetics of a Rock performance with the intellectual requirement of the electronic music. The Handydandy is at the same time a RocknRollband and a computer network – music group.”
