The cause was old code from the time I changed from an 8x8 to a 7x7 on Mondays: if an 8x8 was requested on a Monday (from an old link), it automatically got changed to a 7x7. There was no need for a check if it was a timed puzzle because there was no timed 8x8 in those days ![Huh [huh]](./images/smilies/msp_huh.gif)

I will solve it offline for those 2500 points so I can approach mparisi ![Laugh :-)](./images/smilies/msp_laugh.gif) . But it seems that today I have lost my "unique" opportunity since now it tells me " 1 done so far today" ![Crying [crying]](./images/smilies/msp_crying.gif) (I suppose the same will happen to everyone that tried it today, beaker, ...) ...

Thanks a lot, I used the new attempt but I had to stop it so I learned something: For this 8x8 puzzle it's very important to choose the appropriate moment to insure no interruptions ![ThumbDown [thumbdn]](./images/smilies/msp_thumbdn.gif) (assuming you need several minutes).

![Smile [smile]](./images/smilies/msp_smile.gif) .....no kidding......and several minutes is not even close for me unless Patrick starts us out with a simple solution puzzle (which wouldn't be a bad idea as it will encourage more users to try it) ![BigGrin [biggrin]](./images/smilies/msp_biggrin.gif)

![Post Post](./styles/etech/imageset/icon_topic_latest.gif) Re: Timed 8x8?
Hi sorry to bother again but I'm having another problem with the 8x8 timed puzzles and wondered if anyone was having the same? I have found that I don't seem to be storing data for my 8x8s, I scored times of something like 1m 40s today, 1m 55 yesterday and 1m 28(?) on the first day but didn't solve on the second day they were up. However, my time today came up as my #1 even though it should be #2, and it's not down as my best time on those rankings, and I am unranked on the average of 3 best times even though I have solved 3. Hopefully Patrick could look into this and see if my times could be saved, especially my first one as it's my highest! Thanks, Jasmine Edited: just solved one today (30/10) and I've started appearing on the 3 best times rankings etc. It seems it's just my very first time that is not included, it doesn't appear anywhere ![Confused [confused]](./images/smilies/msp_confused.gif)

This most likely was because I cleared the first 30 or so times that were set, because initially the wrong puzzle was shown as the timed puzzle. So sorry, it looks like you'll have to set another 1.28 (which I'm sure you will ![Laugh :-)](./images/smilies/msp_laugh.gif) ) Patrick

Just for curiosity, in this "experimental phase" of the 8x8 timed, are you using the same puzzle for everybody or it is being generated randomly for each puzzler (as it is supposed to be for the 4x4's, 5x5's and 6x6's timed)?
