Thank you.

Ah now I see you just achieved 5 years in a row

[pnm]

Ok, the numbers have been crunched, and 15 people have the achievement (!)

The accounts, and the year when this was first achieved, and the total number of years it was achieved:

Code: Select all

clm            2013 (11)
agnostico      2013 (9)
angelwhite     2013 (7)

added note: clm _almost_ had 2012 as his first year, solving 4499 out of 4501 puzzles,
and narrowly missed 2019, solving 3647 out of 3650 puzzles ..

In both 2020 and 2021, I missed the accomplishment by 2 pts. Each year, I was not able to solve a Sudoku within 24 hrs that it awarded points.

I remember that for one of those two I missed, I went back and solved the puzzle after the 24 hr period when it was active. I might have done it for both missed puzzles. It was a form of penance.

I have earned this accomplishment three times, in 2022, 2023, and 2024.

If the timing matters, it was in the first week of March 2020 that I missed the Sudoku. In 2021, it was either middle to end of Oct or perhaps early Nov, when I missed that puzzle.

Also, I am pretty sure that paulv66 achieved this accomplishment. I do not see their name on the list.

Thanks eclipsegirl

I definitely achieved a 'perfect' score two years in a row. I think it was either the first two years that year to date rankings were produced or the second and third years.

Can you please go back and check your records for those years, Patrick.

[paulv66]

Patrick, if it helps to identify the years when I scored 100%, I posted the following on page 7 of the "Rankings by year" discussion thread on 31 December 2019.

"Delighted to have solved today's 9x9 (after a bit of a struggle) so that I could complete a 100% record for 2019. Roll on 2020!"

ok, thanks, will definitely check.

It is not inconceivable that there is still a bug hiding somewhere

Note that this achievement is for Calcudoku only.

I’m pretty sure that the year to date totals include two points for each medium sudoku solved.

Yes, and the Killer Sudoku points as well if I remember correctly.

I'll dig into this more tomorrow.

So far I'm seeing the checker script says you solved 3651 out of 3650 puzzles in 2019 ,
something obviously incorrect there..

Interestingly, it says 3660 out of 3661 in 2020

2021 is again 3649 out of 3648

So my first guess is a date check error somehow.
