Jun 25, 2018 at 3:47 comment added theonetruepath Well I have some sympathy for your feeling here: I don't look forward to the work involved in posting 100 more very similar puzzles. Maybe instead I will 'condense' them in some way to concentrate the more interesting ones in far fewer puzzles.
Jun 25, 2018 at 2:47 comment added Gareth McCaughan I'm not suggesting that they be deleted, or anything like that. I just don't look forward with particular joy to the next hundred puzzles that are exactly like this one but with a different choice of heptomino. And yes, there are too many bad riddles -- but they're all posted by different people, often newcomers to PSE, rather than one person posting a dozen riddles that all work the same way :-).
Jun 25, 2018 at 0:48 comment added theonetruepath @GarethMcCaughan I think there are an awful lot of riddles. But this isn't my personal puzzle emporium so I let it slide. The real question is, are they that unpopular and/or without merit that they should simply not be here? I'm open to persuasion.
Jun 24, 2018 at 23:53 comment added Gareth McCaughan There seem to be an awful lot of these. Are they just going to continue indefinitely? (Looking at the history, the earliest ones attracted rather more upvotes and favourite-ings than more recent ones have.) There are 108 different heptominoes and I'm not sure we really want 108 "tiling rectangle with heptomino plus rectangles" puzzles...
