Solutions library mixed up (Problems)

I have not gone to the specific ones you are talking about, but lots of the puzzles are the same position after multiple moves and it shows as only one puzzle in the solution section, but it served as more than one puzzle in the puzzle section.

? I'm not sure if this is just a problem with the early tactics solutions
? library, but they seem mixed up or some solutions are even missing.
?
? Example. Intermediate puzzle 48 (March 05). A really interesting position
? between Larsen, B. and Spassky, B. (1981). Each has only a queen, bishop
? and pawns. But where is the solution?
?
? Also its not helpful for solutions 45-60 to be labelled 1-15 in the
? solution explorer...
?
? And lastly the puzzles/solutions are listed 0-15, 15-30, 30-45 and 45-60.
? This is just confusing, and unfortunately it seems your programmer was
? confused too. Click on Intermediate Solutions 45-60 (March 05) and select
? puzzle 15 in the drop-down - it doesn't exist. Which means there are only
? 14 solutions in a section which had 15 puzzles.
?
? Puzzles should be 1-15, 16-30, 31-45, 46-60 (you can't be both 0 and 1
? based at the same time).
?
? I don't want to be too picky because the material is great, its just
? slighty let down by some fairly simple coding bugs which means the
? solutions are hard to find or even missing. I worked as a software
? developer myself so I know how it can happen.
