yeah, the solver behind Mathstick is pretty much like what you described: building the problem + solution simultaneously, besides you also need to collect the multiple solutions for the same question and information for further classifying the difficulty of a puzzle.

Just like "hand-made" pizza used as a response to the rise of frozen, factory-produced pizza and to establish authenticity against fast-food chains. Maybe "hand-made" will be used to emphasize a app/software is made by human rather than being vibecoded or completely AI generated in the future. Also, if you use the Puzzle Maker to create your own puzzle, it becomes a "hand-made" puzzle :)
