general tips

[Jordo]

I have trouble with even the two eaasiest puzzles (type it and colorbars). The problem is that some puzzles don't seem to be asking anything. I'm smart, but I'm not good at puzzles, especially when I have to figure out whethe or not I'm being asked something. How do I solve puzzles?

Type It would require a certain bit of logical leaping, but read the FAQ on the site. It explains that every puzzle is solved by a single word or number. Knowing that you'll have to type in either a word or number should make Colorbars quite easy to figure out.
