I've noticed recently that some clues in some puzzles are missing the word 'than'. (As if it was accidentally left out of a template when generating some clues.) Today it was in one of the shooting star counting puzzles. Sadly, I moved on from the puzzle before I thought to note the URL, and this site seems to replace its own entries in my firefox history. I loaded a few more puzzles to see if I could find an example. No luck, but I did find a typo while skimming:
12. The baby born in May didn't weight exactly 125 grams.
(Note that I wasn't logged in when I played the missing 'than' puzzle. I logged in to make this comment. It was this same machine, and probably within the past 20 minutes, though. Since then, I've generated but not played a few puzzles to reproduce it. The shooting star puzzle was the last puzzle I won on this machine, if that helps.)
Heh. Probably more information than anyone wanted. I'll take more careful notes next time I see it happen.
