I made the following observation (only a gut feeling, nothing is provable):
If there are two comparable puzzles with comparable difficulty but the first one has a publicly available solution, the second doesn't, the first one will get higher solver numbers. By publicly available I mean youtube videos or digital versions of the puzzle which allow for solution checking even after the first digit is entered.
Would it be a good idea to lable those puzzles to make solver numbers better comparable?
