Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
If you have any questions, please consult these pages before asking someone. Most questions about this website are answered in here.
Why was the teaser I submitted rejected?
Over 75% of the teasers submitted to this website are duplicates. We will not approve duplicates. Sometimes a duplicate slips by our expert editors. When a duplicate is discovered, the most recently added one is usually removed. You can help us find duplicates by reporting them with the Duplicate Reporter and earn yourself 50 points in the process once your duplicate report is verified by the Editors.
Sometimes teasers are not exact duplicates, but are close enough that they seem like the same puzzle. For example if you have one teaser about the probability of picking certain color balls out of a box, and another teaser about picking different types of fruits out of a basket. It is likely that this will be considered to be a duplicate if the rest of the teaser is the same.
If you see an older teaser which you feel is a duplicate of another older teaser (any teasers which have been on site for at least one (1) year), these teasers are not open/subject to duplicate submission as they are considered "grandfathered" onto the site.
We will not approve teasers with numerous spelling or grammar errors. Therefore, please check your teaser very carefully for any errors before submitting it.
Any teaser that is found to be taken from another site and is copyright protected, will be rejected. Please do not submit copyright protected teasers.
Due to the manner in which web sites change content, please do not use web site addresses in your teaser unless it is in the Notes to Editor's section. Any teaser with a web site address in the teaser will be rejected.
Please allow the Editors sufficient time to review your teaser once it is in the Editing queue. Although all teasers are processed as quickly as possible, it does take time to review, discuss, and approve/reject which is why the time needed for each teaser review varies.
