I have been in to look a few times. No time to join in last night though.

[jlt2367]

Yes,I can see what you mean but, for example, I spotted it last night but was busy, so made a point of coming back to do it today, when I had time to sit and think.  But it was already done, with the answers on there.  So, there might be other similar situations for some people (though probably not 100, I'll admit!).
