Hello all,
You probably haven't see me on the forums before; I am a high school student currently competing in Science Olympiad and my main event is Codebusters (an event based on cryptography/cryptanalysis that I strongly encourage anyone who sees this to give a look). I was thinking that there could be a monthly competition for records on quotes rather than simply a speed competition. This could possibly show a more accurate representation of the top solvers and also provide a fun challenge that wasn't quantifiable before. I also thought that it could reward (or less severely punish than the current system) those who try to solve for high percentage rates as well (which I tend to struggle with due to my impatience) and take a bit of an edge from those who solely pursue shorter quotes for faster times.
