Puzzles don't, and EY has stated that he thinks of HPMOR as a solvable problem.
Not all solvable problems are puzzles. Real world contains solvable problems, and it's more useful for one's calibration to consider real-world-like problems. I would expect a rationalist story to include some red herrings, because they exist in the real world and people normally underestimate their probability.
Of course, but the story has been very high on foreshadowing and low on red herrings to date, so I suspect that will continue.
