Posted 21st Jan 2010 at 23:39I love this puzzle!

Posted 18th Apr 2011 at 23:58Just a quick note. First time I completed this I didn't use any aids (not even check solution when wrong) and had a time of 15:59. Second time I did use check solution when wrong and then I was removed from the unaided FIRST solution time graph. Surely I shouldn't have been removed as I had completed first time without any aids?

Posted 19th Apr 2011 at 14:12Hi BethansMum,
Currently the site only remembers one set of statistics no matter how times you play (although it does remember your 'first play' time), so what you describe is indeed what will always happen. I do however agree that this isn't very helpful - it's because when I first added those stats I didn't have the "best first time" entries so it didn't really matter. It isn't usually a problem, except on the hanjies where people particularly like to replay them.

It's something I have considered changing, and in fact I'm seriously thinking about adding an opt-in ranking mode, where your first play of a puzzle gets special status (and the solving aids are disabled) and your result appears in a table of everyone who has completed in the same way. This would, just to be clear, only for those who chose to take part - I've no intention of listing all results for those who want to keep their solve times to themselves.
