    First of all, thank you for this great feature! I've just seen my name on a quote (#18 on the list ) for the first time ever, and I'm ecstatic. And it was a great idea to include only the top score of each user, because otherwise it would be the same few people every time.

    As to what LLapp is referring to, I've seen it too (unfortunately, I didn't think to take a screenshot). There was one quote where abra said in the comment that she was 7 seconds away from bansai, and neither abra nor bansai were on the top 20 list. I mean, not just certain times, their names weren't there at all. And I saw another quote where greenacres (not 100% sure about the exact name spelling) was happy about 21 seconds record, and this user also wasn't on the list at all (the list ended with 22 seconds, so 21 seconds should have made it). Oh, the first quote, with abra and bansai, was "I find that the harder I work, the more luck I seem to have." by Thomas Jefferson - I hope that helps.

      Stephen -
      I sent you the explanation and screenshots in an email. I hope that works.

      Here's my best shot at explaining the problem without images: The glitch is that significantly older and lower times show up in the Top Solvers chart, which, if they're correct, would have taken the record long before the slower records that were noted in comments at a much later date. So far, I'm noticing this disconnect only (or mainly?) in quotes that have been in play since around 2013 or earlier.

        Llapp, you are probably correct about dates of older solves. As to greenacres time, I'm gratified at Yorkies noticing me. That was my original site name, but I eventually couldn't log in anymore. So I chose a second classic comedy. And I am also gratified to say that I have noticed several oddcouple top 20 quotes.

          I love this. I have even seen me on one chart. On a new puzzle with a lousy time. How come my good times never get appreciated like that (not a real question, just in case)

            Thanks to LLapp and others for catching the bug the "Previous Solvers" stats. I compiled these stats from a number of different backups we've kept over the years and included an incorrect cross-reference which associated some of the numbers with the wrong puzzle ID. I'm recompiling the whole thing now again from scratch and hope to have the fixed version ready for relaunch sometime tomorrow.
