I've only done one of these, so I don't have the best perspective, but I don't think I'd hate the compass thing in the formats where you get points for what you do, but I didn't like it in the all or nothing. I agree that tricky DL questions should be fair game, because I thought that was rather the point. I dunno, my perspective may be warped because we did well with luggage and sucked at compass, but I just didn't like it. I don't know how to articulate it. There's a line in my mind between really really hard puzzle that might take a while and skill that you may or may not have or be able to acquire quickly. I loathe sudokus with a passion and always freeze up when I see one, but eventually I work through it.
Of course, I've receive compass-related scoldings now from both spouse and sibling, so what the heck do I know? Of course, they are respectively former military and a forester, so they have a reason to know.
