May 21, 2017 at 3:34 comment added NonlinearFruit @ConorO'Brien It is something that champions will have to consider when browsing the duels. To mitigate this, challengers could post duels for recent questions or (per Martin's idea) they could make the duration long enough for champions to feel comfortable with whatever head start there might have been.
May 21, 2017 at 1:37 comment added Conor O'Brien The only problem I see with this is that one who proposes a duel could spend an arbitrary amount of time golfing their answer, giving him an unfair advantage

May 17, 2017 at 9:59 comment added user63187 @xnor Well if the person accepts they have already known what it is. So it doesn't matter.
May 17, 2017 at 1:18 comment added xnor @MartinEnder There's also bias in that the challenger can come up with a problem of a kind they are good at, or already has ideas on how to golf. I think the best solution is to have a third-party pose the challenge.
May 16, 2017 at 22:00 comment added user63187 What if you have a tie?
May 16, 2017 at 17:13 comment added Martin Ender Mod I guess the simplest solution is to make the time frame long enough that time is not an issue.
May 16, 2017 at 16:49 comment added Nathan Merrill You also have a similar problem with champions working on the problem before accepting.
May 16, 2017 at 16:46 comment added Martin Ender Mod Is there any reasonable way to mitigate the challenger's benefit to be able to work on the challenge for as long as they want (before posting the duel and until a champion accepts).

May 16, 2017 at 15:42 comment added Nathan Merrill This is interesting. I originally thought that Duels were a new challenge type, but its a rather interesting way for people to participate in existing challenges.
