The general rule in TNG is that the transporters can't solve the problem unless the transporters caused the problem. Since we're in a TOS setting I'm giving you guys a little more leeway.
Of course, in The Only Tar... the trick wasn't the transporters so much as the time dilation, and that was an aspect of the scenario that I presented as a problem (and that will hold true - time dilation can only solve the problem if it caused it, just like time travel). I couldn't complain that you turned it to your benefit, but I did take steps to make sure that you couldn't beam the whole solution into your laps.
