Found and added attribution to example post but still want answer for the general case.
- What is Codidact’s official policy with regard to the following situation:
- I post a puzzle which I did not design and in the post, I state that I found the puzzle online but I no longer know where I found the puzzle.
- An example of such a post is:

Note that the image in the post is not the screenshot I downloaded from the website but rather a redrawing of the image that I created using an app on my iPad.

- **Update:**
- After a long Internet search, I finally found the source of the puzzle given in the example post mentioned above. I have added attribution to the above post. But I would still like an answer to the general case of posting a non-original puzzle where the original source is unknown.
