Hi Dan,

We should have a set soon,  the set will be composed of problems that we
believe
have completely correct solutions.

But other than this, there will be no other processing of the set.  For
instance there
are a considerable number of problems that programs will solve and
unsolve many
times.   Since a lot of folks like this kind of problem we are only
concentrating on
making the solutions correct and locating multiple solutions and errors
etc.

I am the one sorting out out the posts to figure out what should change.
 It's very
time intensive and I have been extremely busy for the last month.
Since most of
the set has now be extensively analyzed by several programs and
programmers,
I am hoping to get to them by late next week.

Later we may do another pass to get interesting subsets if there is
enough interest.
I would personally like to have a set that eliminates all the problems
that have solutions
your program may get by accident.
