But for difficult problems it's sometime nice to see other's attempts to progress toward a solution.
I would say that a 2-3 day delay is fine, it's not excessive, and we can still have the opportunity to share partial results towards a complete solution.

I vote for no delay, and less rules, to encourage brainstorming among members.
Many times, OT ideas are more interesting than original puzzle!

The delay does not avoid spoiling the game ... only delay it.
Whoever post solution first, already spoil the game ... but someone has to do it!
