Bonus puzzle did not appear
Bonus puzzle did not appear at my 333,266 points.
I am actually receiving the message: "you are at - 48 points from the next bonus puzzle... ".
I suppose I have again exhausted some pool [smile] .

Yes, you are my canary in a coalmine,
and the King of Bonus Puzzles :-)

I did add a feature last time round, so I get a warning message when someone (== clm)
is close to exhausting the pool, not sure why it didn't work [mellow]

As a prize, you get to suggest some new bonus puzzle types [thumbup]

Re: Bonus puzzle did not appear
Maybe CLM deserve an achieve for exhausting the pool not once but twice?

Congratulations

Thank you, Patrick. The actual types are OK, since they are common to all puzzlers, and I would not like to ask for the difficult ones, like -3 to 3, etc., since, in general, puzzlers prefer the easy ones for bonus. And I also agree with the 10 points regardless of the level of difficulty.

And thank you, beaker and eclipsegirl, for your congratulations. I have solved 1509 bonus puzzles (15,090 points) till the moment (according to my history) and I understand that possibly I am taking too many riches from the "treasure Chest", thinking that the treasure Chest was inexhaustible :-) :-).

I added a couple, deducted one point from your overall total (so it's 333329 now),
removed the 4x4 easy from your solved list, and set the new bonus target to 333330,
so you should be able to trigger a new bonus puzzle pretty easily [namaste]

By doing this, CLM now has 1 more point than everyone else when you look at the Year to Date Standings.

I have no problem with CLM earning a reward. They have cleared the pool twice.

I object to any point reward being included in their YTD total.

I appreciate the fix. TY. [namaste]

Apologies to CLM if you disagree. This is all based on opinions. I can be a jerk for wanting things to be "fair" or how I perceive fair.

It was a bug, already fixed, and the Patrick's comment simply responds to his sense of humor.

There is no better reward than to participate in this wonderful Calcudoku site.
I fully agree with you, eclipsegirl, [thumbsup], the whole civilization is based on justice and laws, without them any person is free to attack another and any country can invade another. But, in addition to that, the kindness and fair play are essential to make life easy to everyone [smile].
