Do you think it's time for some new games? I was wondering about a rebus thread. One person posts a simple rebus puzzle, the person who solves it sets another. What do you think?
Here's a straighforward one
STA4NCE
Although, I am pretty sure what the outcome will be...nobody will answer because it will mean they have to make one up.
So I think I'll add a separate rule that if one doesn't get solved wihin three days of posting, I'll post up that anyone can set up a new one, and the poster has to put up the spoilered answer.

Trouble is I can answer these, but haven't got a clue about setting a new one.

barking up the wrong tree
Ok I'll have a go. It's hard to tell if I'm making it too easy or too hard.

That is exactly what I think EVERY time I'm writing a puzzle... It seems the usual answer is the latter...although I have deliberately written one which should come up soonish which I think is a bit easier. So cue the "that was too easy" comments!
