Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

You’ve already got my MotM vote SPR - others may be easily bribed too;)

Jenny, I've managed to join the sub-1200 and sub-1000 tournaments so I suspect we'll be fighting for bottom spot (I havent played for about 6 weeks so I'm pretty rusty)

Let the battle for bottom spot commence Dave M! (I think even with 6 weeks out you’ll still be better than me :-) )

Brian’s restarted doing puzzles & is now up to 3rd place in the Fetch rankings.

James still Fetch top puzzle rating over 2400 but me and Brian in the 2300’s chasing hard, Bish & Rasmus both over 2000.

The big difference is in % solving success, where Brian has 70% vs all the rest of us in the 50s (although James is 59%)

Do you know how the timing aspect works? I wonder if it's better to think a bit longer and maybe get more right. Or not.

It’s +5 for a slow correct solution no matter how slow that slow is.

Faster correct answers can gain way more - I’ve had a +15, but maybe higher available.

I was wondering if you solve a few puzzles consecutively if they just get tougher & tougher, so it may be best to restrict to a few each day?

My other non-Scottish club has most top people on 52-55%, so James at 70% is exceptional (although he hasn’t taken on the toughest puzzles much yet!)

I tended to try and solve them quickly, didn't realise there's no time penalty, unlike puzzle rush...
