Not always because I have been going through some crosswords where we get sentence to get words and its not always true but I am also looking at your solution as well

It is ok. It is just fun and timing is also very fine. So, that everyone gets a chance to participate.

I think, instead of always going for Jumbled word, it can be a mixed kind, sometimes some phrase or proverbs etc can be questioned.

Let people take help of google or whatever, it is all fine. But tming should not be always same. Anytime it shuld be, so, who gets online and solves it should be right one to grab the prize.

As Shabbir says, already code-comptetion is there, intersted can partcipate in that too.

thanks

Yeah shabbir already convinced me about that.
Keeping a fixed time would result in someone being ALWAYS at advantage, and some others being ALWAYS at disadvantage.

Participate : ?!
It's a real dead forum. No questions are posted there, how do you expect me to participate then ?


BTW, you contradict yourself :
(1) You voted that "YES, jumbled word is the right challenge"
(2) Your last reply reads : "instead of always going for Jumbled word, it can be a mixed kind, sometimes some phrase or proverbs etc can be questioned."

[Mridula]

I voted as "Yes" to support this competion and suggested to keep the same with some mixed kind.

I didnot want to Vote "No" to this and make it replaced by something else like code competion etc.

Hope I am not confusing you

[SaswatPadhi]

No, it's clear to me now.

BTW, did you see yesterday's question ? It was a phrase and not a word.
But the question read "Today's word", so I was really confused.

[Mridula]

BTW, even I wanted to ask that question to Shabbir about Code Competition? As you said, it is dead : )

Shabbir can reply this.

many thanks
mridula

[Mridula]

Yes. I also tried for a long time and wasted lot of time in it. I was really going maaaaad
And I request them to question correctlly.

many thanks

[SaswatPadhi]

Yeah it was difficult, I was about to give up.. But then I thought I should post how much I had progressed.

The reason you feel dead is because G4EF is not adding competition to it but it should be by users when they face some tough and difficult problems which at times get posted in forums only and we would make that move in the next shuffle that we may do.
