Tags: How Do They Help?
Tags are attributes attached to code that help you shape your puzzle. A puzzle must have at least one tag and can have any number of tags that's necessary as per demand, depending on the person who created the puzzle. Tags can be used for a filter too. You can watch tags and unwatch tags, as per your choice.
You may have a seperate liking for some sort of tags and may mark them watched. Tags that are marked watched are considered to be more prioritized and the system sorts the question out first and presents them to you before other questions. Tags you have marked to be watched are found on the page of answering puzzles.
There might be several tags that you might unappealing to your taste, like mathematics, physics etc. In that case, you can mark them unwatched. Unwatched tags are least prioritized and puzzles made on that tags would be shown to you sure, but with a different opacity than the original one. Tags you have marked to be unwatched are found on the page of answering puzzles.
Puzzles: Ways to Solve Them
Whenever, you visit any puzzle, each IP Address (logged in or not) accounts for a view count for that puzzle. Each IP address visit is counted only once for that puzzle in its entire lifetime. Whenever you start solving any puzzle, an attempt to solve that puzzle is counted. Numerous attempts can be counted from each user. Once, you have finished solving the puzzle, you can try solving the puzzle again for a memory refresh, obviosuly, but the attempts are not counted anymore. The ratio of attempts taken and the number of solutions of a puzzle defines how hard the puzzle is. We find it necessary to challenge the user by explicitly showing them the percentage of hardness of a puzzle.
$$\text{Hardness of a Puzzle}=1-\frac{\text{Number of Solves}}{\text{Number of Attempts}}$$
Puzzle Edits: Whenever Necessary
You can edit the puzzle whenever you think it is necessary. The person who created the puzzle can only edit the body of it, while you can change the tags. The puzzle cannot be edited after it has been solved at least once. You cannot add any other conditions of the puzzle during its edits, only changing the title, description and the setup conditions are allowed.

Bounties: To Appreciate Your Wit
Bounty is a kcertain amount of experience points that a puzzle author awards you after you complete solving their puzzles. You can start bounty on our puzzle and wait for people to solve. There are three tiers of bounty and all of them lasts for seven days:
This type of bounty has equal share of experience points for each win. Just declare the number of people you want to send the reward to and the amount of experience points per reward. You are all set.
For a Tier-1 Bounty, there can be different experience points set for the first three solves and same amount of experience points for the next solvers. You need to select the amount of experience points you will send as a reward explicitly for the first three solvers and then you need to set the number of solvers and experience points as a award for the rest.
For a Tier-2 Bounty, there can be different experience points set for the first five solves and same amount of experience points for the next solvers. You need to select the amount of experience points you will send as a reward explicitly for the first five solvers and then you need to set the number of solvers and experience points as a award for the rest.
After you have declared a bounty, expericence points of yours would be locked for the bounty. The bounty always is kept active for seven days, always ending at 0:00 [UTC time] at the end of the seventh day. After the time has passed, bounty is made deactivated and any experience points that has not been awarded would be refunded to you. Note that, any experience points once awarded on bounty from you, would never be refunded.
