So close....
Probably one of my oldest goals is to get all 140 weekly timed points. I believe I've had 139 points in a week before, but this time I had 6 consecutive perfect days, meaning I could've gotten to 140 if today would be one of those perfect days. Sadly my 4x4's weren't as good as I hoped they were though, so my streak will end again. Does anyone actually know if someone else (read: Sheldolina) ever got 140 weekly timed points?

Re: So close....
Congrats to jpoos
I am always amazed by you and the other people who are consistently at the top of the timed charts.

Re: So close....
I'm also amazed (and very impressed) by the times being posted. A couple of weeks ago, I did a 4x4 in just over 19 seconds and I was thrilled with myself.
Maybe if I was 40 years younger I might have some chance of getting closer to you guys, but I can't see myself ever getting near the top of the leaderboard, or even anywhere in the top 10.

Re: So close....
Actually got my first top ten this week - sneaking in at 10th place in the 8x8. But I'm still struggling to get my technique right. Maybe I can't think quite as fast as some of the people on here, but the speed at which I fill in the cells is also a factor.
I generally use an iPad, which requires a lot of keystrokes compared to using a PC or laptop. But I find that I really struggle to be any faster when using a keyboard. Maybe it's just practice that's needed, but any tips would be welcomed.
I should mention that I'm very dominant right handed and this may be part of the problem.

Re: So close....
Wow, so fast! I'm already quite happy with these, which does not happen so often: 20161221 20161224 20160912 These are lucky days when I have got an easy timed puzzle. But when I get a difficult timed puzzle, I sometimes still need much more time to complete the puzzle, say 3 minutes for 6x6. I wonder how you can do them all so fast consistently.

Re: So close....
I agree - It is quite impressive! More and more lately I have been completely failing at the 6x6s (2+ minutes )
