  Obviously Sphinx has been very busy getting us these challenges and I do not want to suggest any more work for him now. But I have been thinking about an earlier thread discussing what to do when all the challenges have been coded and solved.

  What if the challenges we are doing now is just the north face? Once at the top you have to work your way down the south face? Then maybe up the east face and back down the west face?

  That would be an awful lot of programming, but it is a way that these challenges can go beyond what Sphinx will soon have for us.

  Interesting :)

  Assuming each face has 9 levels and each set of 9 levels makes 45 challenges, that would make another 135 challenges, which is quite massive.

  When we first started, we only had ideas for about 25 challenges. But over the course of coding the challenges, I've had the benefits of gaining new ideas from some of you, from doing challenges on other sites, as well as through research in certain areas.

  The remaining ideas are sufficient to reach level 45 - the first face, so to speak. After that, Bio and I have no idea where it's headed to.

  For me, I've enjoyed the coding. It's kept me busy and thinking more, which I like. But I do get carried away, and I tend to spend more time than I could afford on the site. Also, life has become a little uphill for me with unexpected circumstances popping up, so it's really a big question mark what happens after the first face.

  But we'll get over this first face ;)

  ending at the bottom of the forth face ... not a good thing

  plus going down of the south face should mean that the pyramid is upside down, you start with only 1 challenge availalbe ???

  each face should start from the bottom, when you reach the top, you trip of a rock and fall down, and go for the next face thinking is more accessable :D

  As for me, I don't really care about how chals are positioned/coded/grouped/etc while they're interesting for me to try and solve. So more chals plz, in any form thx :)
