#1 IN THE WORLD
At the current rate, to overcome mparisi in the rankings, and become the uber grand #1 ranking calkudoku solver in the world, it will take three and a half years.

Re: #1 IN THE WORLD
Speaking of ranking, how does Jackie and sagearrow seem to always get so many more regular points than anyone else? (508 instead of 468?) Also, it's such a coincidence that they seem always the same in everything.

It might still be a problem with the script computing the weekly totals (sigh). sneaklyfox wrote: Also, it's such a coincidence that they seem always the same in everything. They're mother and son.

Looks like about 2.5 yrs. A first version, with 2 (3?) 4x4, 6x6, and 8x8 puzzles each day, print only, was online in February 2009.

Also, it's such a coincidence that they seem always the same in everything. I'll fix this soon. I find the people who cheat and lie about it the worst kind. Most people, when I write to them asking if they're using a solver (or any other tricks) admit to it, and say they enjoyed the programming challenge. Some however keep spinning stories :-( Patrick

You might want to recalculate that. I think you are averaging 30 points a week more than him, because of timed puzzles. Numdays = (MyTotPts - MpTotPts)/(MyDlyAv_30 - MpDlyAv_30) Numdays = (53734 - 38211)/(81-70) = 1411 days It's about as accurate as I can come up w/o doing major research into trends over teh year
