When you see the title WCP # followed by a number, these puzzles were for a running series of contests. The judges would pick a topic and say how large and how many colors. Then for each contest, running about a month, they would pick a winner, a runner up, and honorable mention. This particular contest was for what mice would see looking out at the world from their mouse hole. Unfortunately, with Jan's death and some problems that developed on the site we were unable to continue the contests and that's why we are having fun with the challenges that replace the contests. You can have a lot of fun browsing the winners of the contests by going to the Honors section on the menu on the left of the screen.

You know, I pretty much guessed what the WCPs were, but I don't think I ever looked into them. So given that, things make sense now!

I suppose we can search for WCP and define a starting and ending date/puzzle number to get every single WCP for a certain week. It's always neat to see such a high number for WCPs ... reminds us there's so much to look at if we want to go down a rabbit hole.

Andrew - Click on "Honors" on the left for more info.

Yes Andrew, at the Honors tab you'll have all the WCP.

I'd love to see the contests come back again!

The contest were so much fun. Even when you knew you didn't stand a chance against so many expert puzzle makers, you still entered just for the fun. Often more than once. I loved seeing all the variations on the same subject.

It could still be done in a way. It wouldn't have to be a constest. Just have someone throw out an idea with size and color restrictions.

Once again, I'm willing to do it, but we'll need another "judge".

Any volunteers to be a judge with Jota? Getting the contests going again would be so cool!

How about you Val?

Hm. I think the site is stronger when there are more volunteers in more roles, so I'd be glad to see someone else do it. But if nobody comes forward, I'd be willing.

This conversation sounds familiar ;)

oops...dupe :P

It really does! We still need volunteers to choose the themes, but, other than that, the new plan is happening! I'm willing to pick the first few themes, to get it started.

Also: Could someone explain this puzzle to me? I have massively missed the clue.
