In any event, pyramidal structure is far from the hardest thing to
learn about writing questions. I believe that I would qualify as
an "inexperienced player", having played in my first trash tournament
in February 2001 and written/edited a grand total of two trash
packets -- and I'll admit that one might level some complaints at my
question-writing skills. (I strive to improve, as always...) But,
barring the occasional anomaly of the sort that could happen to
anyone, I don't think any of those complaints would involve pyramidal
structure. I mean, what's so difficult about that? You put the hard
clues before the medium clues, and then follow with the easy clues
and the giveaways. Once you know that, what else is to know?
