Re: [Palindrome] solving statistics

["Alexandra Fiona Dixon" <a dixon aya yale edu>]

Being a remote member of the team and never actually having participated 
even as a virtual team member, I'm not 100% familiar with the 
solving-process of the palindrome team, except as I can infer things 
from emails that fly around during the puzzle hunt.

Am I correct in that if you have five out of six solutions in a color 
group, for example, and you can reverse-engineer the solution, you won't 
bother to solve the sixth puzzle?

Meaning, the number of puzzles solved for a team smart enough to back 
into the meta-solution would actually be *lower* wouldn't it?
