Question for EY:

In the chapter, you wrote:

If a viable solution is posted before 12:01AM Pacific Time (8:01AM UTC) on Tuesday, March 2nd, 2015, the story will continue.

Does this mean that the reader-suggested solution will in fact be used, or will the story simply continue with the solution you originally had in mind?

How many months do you want to wait until Eliezer rewrites the story to match the reader-provided solution?

Fair enough. The phrasing caught me a bit; that's all.
