(Although I saved some time on the Sunday puzzle by using an exploration rather than pure deduction near the end. Might have cost me 20 seconds or so otherwise.)

Nice work, Mondsemmel But i was looking at the club times, and yours is 9 min and 40 something seconds... and your actual best time for the week is less, as i can see even this week you have little above 7 min-s.

So is there a way to update the club time if a member does better, for example i have 59:09 mins one day and I'm accepted in club 59, the next day i solve it faster than the previous week and end up with a time of 58:30, so my cumulative time in the club section should be updated to 58:30 :]

Is there a worst "best time"? I'm guessing my 7:06 for friday's puzzle would take it (except for the first days of kwon-tom loop, when no one was very good). I thought there had to be an error when I got the "this is the best time recorded" message...

You're right, that's a very slow "best" Friday time! Looking at the stats, it is one of the harder puzzles in the database...

Not just Friday, but the whole weekend. Friday, Saturday and Sunday were all tougher than usual. If you keeps this up, I'll never post a new PR.

I think the Sunday puzzle was okay. But yes, the Friday and Saturday puzzles of this week were ridiculously hard...

Finally living up to the "very hard" label, then? I did tweak the generating algorithm a while back, so maybe some of the new puzzles are now starting to appear. There were a couple of obvious solving moves I had missed and adding them in to the puzzle ranking algorithm has shifted what it thinks is "very hard" up a bit.

EDIT: Amazingly, that 1-second improvement on Saturday took me more than a year (!).

I didn't noticed that I'd broken the best time ever for Sunday when I solved it. And you performed even better, MondSemmel, congrats!

Great job, guys! Took a while, but you finally took it down. Now are we gonna wait three years to do it again?

2.5 years for a 1-second improvement .

I kind of forgot this thread until I checked my best-of time for Friday today, so it's very possible we missed new records by others. If you want to check whether you've beaten any of these times before this week - e.g. Nimrod is a likely candidate -, the only way I'm aware of is to go to your Stats page and look at your best time for each day of the week.
