Location: Indonesia | 1. Indeed the multiplier is 60/time.
2. To be honest I picked the puzzle genres that a) make good answer keys that can fool people, and b) have good small puzzles, in that order.
3 is courtesy of Deb. See above. My variation would be something like 2x2 or 1xn.
5. Not everyone is familiar with that, plus it's not culture-neutral? |

Don't worry, I see you being registered to finish at 6:58.
I guess someone fixed it in the results table after I posted...?
In retrospect, I think I accidentally tripped on a bug in the Java applet. After I logged in, but before I got the password, I clicked on the "1-10" and "11-20" links just to see how the answer input worked. Somewhere along the line (after I got the password I think) the response boxes for 1-10 appeared twice -- back-to-back -- at the 1-10 link. Ditto for the 11-20 boxes at the 11-20 link.
After I entered all 20 solutions in the first sets of boxes, nothing happened when I tried to enter the solutions again in the second sets of boxes, but I think the applet still read them as unanswered questions somehow.
If I have time between now and 11:59 UTC, I can create a dummy account and see if I can replicate what happened.

Location: India | I first scrolled through PB and found the last puzzle, and saw all example puzzles of IB in PB. So I figured it was an April Fool's contest and started typing the answer of example puzzle until I figured out where the REAL puzzles were located, lol.. They were TINY... Almost didn't notice at first.. |

Location: United States | Darn, I might have saved a few seconds if I had realized sooner that I didn't need to solve the scrabble; there was only one possibility for the answer key regardless.
Thanks for the test. Too bad I couldn't beat 50000. :( |

Location: Indonesia | Congratulations for MellowMelon to win the whole thing, getting past xevs with 119 seconds! Now MellowMelon is the holder of the record of most points in one test (38.5 thousands plus), at least until some person decides to make a test scoring a total of 1,000,000. *wink*
Thank you for everyone participating! A more comprehensive post is written here.
