Posts: 3567 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Location: India | Details about Penalty structureThere is no penalty if you Skip a Puzzle.Otherwise, minimum penalty for getting a puzzle incorrect = 25. Additionally, you get more penalties depending upon how many other players submit the same or other wrong answers. Example : Lets say a puzzle has 4 options. Option 1) Correct Answer Option 2) submitted by x number of players Option 3) submitted by y number of players Option 4) submitted by z number of players Lets have P = max(x,y,z) Total penalty for players submitting Option 2) = 25 + 25 * ( P - x ) / P Total penalty for players submitting Option 3) = 25 + 25 * ( P - y ) / P Total penalty for players submitting Option 4) = 25 + 25 * ( P - z ) / P So, the higher is the difference between 'most incorrect' and 'your incorrect', higher is the penalty. | ||||||||||||||||||

Like, what if the times up and answer is not submitted? Also note that, if you select the answer and keep, but didn't click on Next Puzzle. Then it will get automatically submitted once the time is over. So don't select any option unless you are sure about it. Of course not in the case when you want to try your luck of guessing ;) | ||||||||||||||||||

"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! | ||||||||||||||||||
