IMHO this question could be answered empirically by looking at the
number of responses.

Anyway, I like those quizzes most that demonstrate the power of a
well
though-out algorithm in comparison to mere power. I also think that a
quiz description should provide some script to test the solution for
correctness -- not necessarily ruby test cases (but see #2 below).

That said, I have two suggestions:

1.) Please post the quizzes earlier (Friday or so) and take into
account
world rotation. I'd prefer Friday afternoon @ Europe.

2.) I also wonder if a ruby-only quiz isn't a thing of the past. I
personally would be keen on comparing solutions written in ruby with
solutions in haskell, groovy or what have you. IMHO such a polyglot
quiz
would be much more fun.
