Nan,
It’s enough to put "B.L." (before logs) records in the "date" column and treat them as the same date: everybody whith this record is first, nobody is shortest.
I think that we don’t need different entries for equivalent puzzles (all 3 colors, other then digons are equivalent; all 4 colors are equivalent, and all 6 colors that exist now are equivalent too). It gives only small number of "easy puzzles": 3,4,6 colors, 3 layers; 3 colors, 5 layers. But 6 colors, 3 layers is a classic Rubik’s cube 3^3, so it’s not so easy.
I don’t know, how long will be list for easy puzzles. May be not very long.
I’ve solved only 3-layers (3,4,6,24 colors) and 3 colors, 5 layers before logs.

Actually, there are much more puzzles in Magic Tile: there is a parameter "Expansion Factor" in Options/Edit Settings menu (thanks to Melinda for the hint :) ), and by changing it you can get infinite number of very hard puzzles :)

I believe many people have solved the easier ones and nobody knows who’s the first one to solve each puzzle (probably Roice is always the first one). What should we do about them? Should we only put the hard puzzles in this list?
