(In Blackbox, the puzzle and answer were the same. But in the Peg contest, one could compute an optimum set of moves and try to pass those back for future use, while claiming innocence to the charge of extracting the *puzzles*. It still amounts to cheating in my mind, but a literalist might claim a difference. :-) As far as I am concerned this goes without saying, but you might also want to explicitly prohibit extraction of *answers* to the test suite puzzles.
