Is there even a useful distinction between beginner and advanced material? Perhaps if something required heavy math background. But in this interpretation examples like Newcomb problems are actually anti-advanced because they collapse into triviality or nonsense when you try to apply any mathematics to them.
And we can crosslink as much as Eliezer did on OB. I like this about his style.

You believe that only because you don’t understand how to do the math, the problem itself is not inherently mysterious.
