You are right. Feedback page was hanging in Google Chrome in Win8/Win10.
This is fixed now.

"I really enjoyed it"... a bit too stressful to really enjoy, but I do think it was a great test. And I didn't do as badly as I feared!

Regarding the interface: I'd prefer a bigger and non-dropdown answer entry mechanism. Ideally just a set of big buttons (including a skip button) with no confirmation. I don't want to judge puzzle quality because I have too little comparison for the format. I don't really understand (and haven't tried to understand) the penalty system, so no answer there either.

The puzzles that I had trouble with: I didn't see the contradiction in that one Sudoku even though I looked for it, guess I should have skipped instead. I'm not the only one it seems. On the pyramid, I missed the 19 and thought you were being cheeky with multiple maximal solutions (the answer format allowed that). And I should have thought to take the maximum in parallel row by row. Finally I would have guessed the correct one for the squares, but miscounted and couldn't confirm it was the maximum.

Looking forward to the screen test at the WPC 2017!

I have found that I understood about the max. rotation was wrong. I thought it was the clockwise rotation of the images from the options but it is actually the clockwise rotation of the original image. Though, I really enjoyed the test.

Hmm....I still see only 10 squares for C, but 11 squares for D in #13. What am I missing?

Hah...well, based on the 25% success rate, I guess I'm not the only one who had a blind spot...

This contest may be great for identifying truly skilled puzzle solvers but I really did not have much fun (and if puzzles are not fun, why do them?). Too many of the questions seemed to be "how quickly can you count and remember totals under pressure". And I cannot do weights or minesweeper puzzles entirely in my head. So I ended up trying to use intuition or taking a guess. But maybe it's just me...a lot of others seem to really enjoy it.
I shall look forward to the next regular contest next week. Thanks
