Nope. In history there are 3 points on 24/6. I suppose the yesterday ones would have 25/6 as date or I am mistaken? And the other day this week(don't remember which one) that this has happened again, from what I can remember they weren't added at all. |

So the points for the timed puzzles solved yesterday should have a datestamp 24/6? I find it odd because I'm sure I've solved 6 puzzles not 3, whereas 3 were the ones from 23/6. Maybe it has something to do with the date because I am UTC + 2.. But don't bother, thanks again for your time to respond. |

Check out this list, for example: http://www.calcudoku.org/ops/timed_rankings/en/world/6 click on "yesterday's times", and look up where you are (52nd I see) Patrick |

Madlo, From what you say I assume you think you get points per each finished timed puzzle, but you only get points for 1 puzzle per category (4x4, 5x5, 6x6) namely the fastest puzzle you did. On the timed puzzle ranking page it says: 'Each day, you will get points for each timed puzzle you solve: 5 points for the fastest time, then 4, 3, 3, 3, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2 for 2nd-10th place, and 1 point for everyone else' Is a bit misleading, you get points only for your best times per day. Thus when you finish a 4x4, 5x5 and a 6x6 out of the top 10 you get 3x1 = 3 points. If you do 3 4x4 puzzles, you only get points for the 1 4x4 that took you the least time, the others are only put in to your statistics, the top 100/65% average etc Hope that is an answer to your question |

honkhonk, that's exactly what I thought. Thanks for the clarification. I blame my ignorance now to have posted before understanding completely the rules. |
