Problems Categorised by Difficulty Rating

From January 1974, nearly all problems published in my competition have had a Difficulty Rating from 1 (much too easy) to 8 (extremely difficult) assigned, for the purposes of my Double Dummy Master Points Scheme.  The DRs for problems that appeared before that have DRs proposed by ace solver Jean-Marc Bihl, who very kindly undertook the task after he had submitted solutions (nearly all correct) to problems #1 to #212.
