Is it possible to show 'Top Ten' for each puzzle

[mistyswiss]

Would it be possible to start showing the top 10 times for each puzzle instead of only the fastest time? Maybe it would make me feel better than only seeing nanrich and bonsaisequoia - whom I'll never catch!

[NotTooOld]

I'd be happy to see the top three!

[marnita]

I agree - the top three would be great! Although it would probably still be mostly Nanrich and Bansai.

[damsel22]

I think it's a great idea too.

but...

we have a surprising number of crypto speed demons playing nowadays--we'd probably see the same names if even 10 names were listed...possibly even 20!
just check the 'records' each time you play; it's surprising how much things have changed over this past year.

Would it make you feel better if you saw Bansaisequoia and Nanrich each listed 5 times in varying orders for the top ten times of most quotes? -Doh!

Wonder woman: What do mean by check the records?

Go to Chat, then scroll down below the Chat box. You'll see 3 tabs -- Forum, Records, and News. The default is Forum, but if you click on the Records tab, you can see the last 6 records set. This list is updated in real time, so if you check it daily, you get a sense of who the speed demons are around here.

[mistyswiss]

you are right...

yes, it would likely be the same few people. What if they could show the top 10 (or 5) people? ordered by their top time? I know, slightly more complicated algorithm....

Checking the records seems to have disappeared. It isn't working any more.

They just added Top 10 Times and Rotations to the Circuits board. If they can do it there, they should be able to do it here. I had two different top 10s, one for time and one for rotations. The rotations for time record, even though it was larger than the other one, should have been listed as well. I guess only your best shows, replacing any other top 10 placing. So, Bansaisequoia and Nanrich would be at the top of the list, the rest will be all different people, though mostly the same names.

Admin said in the chat that he was working on adding this functionality soon. The way that it works on other sites is that it only shows each user's top time, so we would really get a list of the top ten users and their solve times. That'll be nice.

This is now live - the previous Top 20 solve times is now shown at the bottom of each "game over" page, but only for registered users.

This is a REALLY cool feature! Thank you!!!!!

Stephen -

Thanks for this great feature. I'm noticing a glitch in some of the "Previous Top Solvers" charts, where quote comments mention the current record at a certain date, but then the chart doesn't jibe with the records mentioned. This is easier to show with screenshots than with words, so here are screenshots from a quote I just solved.

Here are the quote and main stats box along with the dated comments:

You've still got it on 11/23/16, debzhaus.

Nanrich with 9!

-------------------
And now here's the chart of top solvers, with their dates. See how the dates don't jibe with the history above?

[admin]

Unfortunately those screenshots aren't displaying - if you still have them can you repost or email to me?

One thing to note, we're not displaying multiple scores by the same player in these top 20 lists. Only each user's top score is included. So if nanrich solved it multiple times and scored 9 seconds, 12 seconds and 15 seconds, only her 9 second solve will appear on this list. Since I can't see the screenshot right now I don't know if that explains the issue you're seeing or not.
