When I trained as a maths teacher many years ago, we were told that boys were much better than girls at "spatial" problems - which I certainly consider Kwon-tom Loop to be. Does anyone have any idea whether there are more males than females using this site?
PS I am female and not very good at it! |

As far as I know, Tzukanion and I are the only females in Club19, though I'm not 100% certain of everyone else's genders!
I've recruited two others to the site - one male, one female. |

My husband (tilps) found this site for me, although I've always been more into the loops than he was. We haven't managed to recruit anyone else though  so I don't know who else is who.
I'm much better than him at it though!

What I've noticed from comparing my playing style with Jean's is that I am much better at deriving complete solutions for entire areas in my head, sometimes the solution will just come to me spontaneously (although not anywhere near as often as I would like), but none of the above is fast. She is far better at using a mouse accurately and quickly, thinks more quickly with the basic stuff and has memorized more patterns. She is also much better at being systematic in a way which maximises speed.
Even with the easiest of puzzles, I can't seem to break 2 minutes, even though I consider them entirely trivial, I can think faster than I can click/move the mouse accurately.

Meh.
Tilps is smarter than me.
Don't let him tell you otherwise!
