the latest on "consecutive days puzzling"
The latest list of the longest streaks (number of consecutive days solving at least one puzzle each day) - the ones marked with a * are still running, otherwise current streak length is between parentheses - not shown are puzzlers who haven't solved a puzzle in a while Code: 1. sjs34 1166 * 2. beaker 1070 * 3. clm 1050 * 4. cecileb 1012 * 5. mparisi 954 (547) 6. menm 796 * 7. isidore 781 * 8. bertoldo 766 * 9. panther 743 * 10. ric3142 736 (359)
11. agnostico 696 * 12. fzpowerman47 689 (245) 13. ruffolo 679 * 14. mas 670 (51) 15. angelwhite 657 * 16. nashvillebudd 618 (134) 17. rossiniman 582 (14) 18. martini 582 * 19. doug 577 * 20. shunyshe 549 (52)

As long as you are revisiting this how about listing the longest streaks of consecutive days doing every daily puzzle?

Re: the latest on "consecutive days puzzling"
"As long as you are revisiting this how about listing the longest streaks of consecutive days doing every daily puzzle?" quoting mparisi
perhaps it would be mparisi on top well that is as it is, also interesting would be other solvers stats of solving every puzzle every day the mind boggles, well, mind does

"longest 100% streak" will take some programming to find out, will try to find some time for that. The problem as I see it is, you either need to have a specific definition on 100% or you have to have a bunch of tables. Is it everything including subscriber only puzzles? That leaves out a whole bloc of solvers. Does it include just the puzzles available to non-subscribers? That let's a lot of solvers (myself included) off the hook. Does it include at least one timed puzzle of each size per day? Does it include at least 2 now and 3 back before subscriptions? 4 now and 3 before subscriptions? Does it include the regular sudoku for 0 points?

"off the hook" indeed, wait until you hear the punishment for people who don't solve every puzzle every day jaek wrote: Does it include at least one timed puzzle of each size per day?

Simplest would be all universally accessible Calcudoku puzzles.

Re: the latest on "consecutive days puzzling"
I agree that mparisi's suggestion would be an interesting statistic. Also it is clear that it is a statistic that would nicely and impressively highlight mparisi's prowess. Good for mparisi for that.
Also jaeks's points are well expressed and pertinent.
If it is a suggestion that is to be seriously considered, I would once again suggest that the 12x12s and any other multi day puzzles be considered for completeness on their last day of eligibility for points rather than on their first.

I agree with both. The listing should be for "consecutive days earning a gold star" (thus excluding timed puzzles, killer sudokus and the ordinary sudoku) – but with the exception proposed by sjs34. However, if implementing that exception would mean too big of a programming workload, I think a "consecutive gold stars" listing would still be interesting even without it. "Interesting" to me means that I might have a remote chance of actually appearing in it
