I hadn't considered ranking the difficulty along several axes yet, but it
sounds very interesting to me. This is a fine compromise between strict
difficulty ordering and relative ordering : we'll just have to rank the
levels by "overall difficulty" (say int+dex+pat if we follow your example),
but make sure that we "shuffle" hard "int" levels, hard "dex" levels and
hard "pat" levels among the overall hard levels.
Plus, ranking levels in such a way is quite an objective alternative. Our
appreciations shoudn't differ that much.
I would just add a forth (and minor) axe : knowledge of the game. Some
levels may be found very easy by us harsh Enigma players ;-), because they
don't require much intelligence, dexterity or patience. But if you have to
do something "smithing a sword by firing a laser on a hammer" in order to
succeed, beginners may take ages to find the solution. We could rank the
levels along the knowledge scale with only 3 levels (e.g. 1-beginner,
2-advanced, 3-expert), and just make sure the levels order fits this
condition.
But Daniel's system suits me very well !

PS: maybe it would be time to change the topic ?! ;-)
