Great idea Steve.
I love the "question of the day" and similar puzzles and this is what makes me sitting in front of my PC, waiting for the next Newsletter 🙂
Not sure how to provide such a Piece of the big puzzle, but I'd like to do so.
Many Regards,
George

Having a stairway series would be great! Also a big fan of the question of the day as I am a newer member to the SQL realm, this would be ideal for applying thought processes to specific situations and build upon my knowledge base.

The Advent of Code challenge, is that something that starts on December 1st?
This sort of thing I enjoy doing and is a great practice. So often everything we need to do is done for us. ("I need a list of clients in alphabetical order.") So its good to do practices like this. Else you forget the basics.

"Advent of Code" is released in December with daily questions. However, previous year questions are available and you can still do those without the pressure / friendly competition of trying to stay on the daily schedule. I like the questions a lot, but most are not ideal for SQL. I solved all of the 2020 questions with C#.
Another site I like a lot is projecteuler.net . These are mathematical puzzles, also not especially SQL-friendly.

My kid got me to work through some of the Euler puzzles. Fun, and challenging.
