 		Card helpers
I was thinking about making some kind of list maybe on the wiki, maybe on the forums, of the cards, with a little bit of help with how to get started in solving them (yes, I really do have too much time on my hands). This might help people, like me, to solve the cards themselves. I've often accidentaly, while looking through the forums for a little hint, seen the solution to the card before I know how to solve it.
If anybody thinks this is a rubbish idea, or can think of a better way of doing it then please say.

 		I for one think that's a superb idea.

It's going to take quite a bit of doing certainly (if only to come up with the list of hints), which (time permitting) I'd be happy to lend a hand with.

Perhaps the final list could be presented as a set of Invisiclues to allow for increasingly 'helpful' hints ...

If you guys want the source code (XML format and XSL file that turns it into a dynamic webpage) for an Invisiclues-style system, I'll post it later today when I have my laptop available. It is the same system I used for the hints/solutions to the Card Catalog contest. Heck, if someone wants to come up with the clues, I don't mind assembling them and hosting the whole thing at the catalog.

Edit: nevermind, I don't need to post them separately. I forgot that the template includes links to the XSL transform and the XML source file.

 		Very cool idea! I've had the same problem with accidentally stumbling across answers when I wanted a hint.

Linking to the clues from the catalog makes a lot of sense as well.
