I keep inchin' closer to a 59, but where am I supposed to shave 17 minutes off of my time when I just set my PB for a Sunday and tied it for a Saturday?
(Maybe I could just start up a club 78 for us under-achievers) |

Make it 79 and I'm in ... although I think i've been as low as 68 - back a few weeks ago when both weekend puzzles were basically trivial - and hence only took me 15 minutes! (I click too slow - still yet to get a weekday time under 3minutes - even when its totally trivial) |

Try the right click for the "x". I just started using it recently and really like it.
It's taken me almost 300 puzzles to finally get into club 59. This week I am 37 seconds short of club 49 but two weeks ago I couldn't even finish the Sunday puzzle.
I think sometimes my brain has a short circuit and simply stops working. |

ARRRRGGGGG - Almost made it today - screemed through the puzzle, clicked done and an internal server error. Bugger!!!!!
Not sure I'll be able to improve on my friday's time - and I think i'll be lucky to get sunday's time again, so it will have to be a bit longer for me - but i'm working on it  |

I think firefox 2 might have fixed the 1x1.gif problem ... too early to tell for sure - unrelated to that I've made it into club 59, but if this 1x1.gif is really gone - I think I should be able to get under 50, maybe even 45. |

Me too!!!!
It only took me 119 puzzles, but I finally got it.
Unfortunately I don't think I can keep it. My combined weekend time was 30m37s, and from what I hear from those of you setting records, it was a really easy weekend (not that I'm complaining, I'll take what I can get). |

Apparently I was wrong.
I just bumped it down again, by like 5 minutes.
At this rate, I'll have all of you beaten in... never.

After last Saturday's DISASTROUS puzzle, this week has been so easy! Blasted my PB time today - just hope tomorrow's puzzle is as intuitive then I stand a chance of getting into club 59. PLEASE, PLEASE! |

WHOOOOOOO! I can't believe it... I'm in at 58m53s!
Apparently, since it's Finals Week, my brain is willing to concentrate on anything other than exams... KL included.

HURRAH!!!! Finally in, although close-run thing at the end - cannot believe how much I mucked up Fri and Sat puzzle - had to redo them both from the start - was dreaming of club 49 and got a bit over-enthusiastic I think! |

Finally made it I have no idea how people get much faster, though. Even solving the same problem multiple times in a row I can never get below three minutes. Guess I should buy a faster mouse. |

even with a bad monday score, I just flew (by my standards) through tuesday and finally made it. Only took 189 puzzles to do it. |

Managed to break that elusive hour barrier. Only took 40 daily puzzles but a lot of practice on the early in the week puzzles in the archives to get some basic ideas down certainly was helpful. |
