It is funny now you say this about the awards. I am sure that I have NEVER EVER made a golden goose egg. I tried it but I failed. Now I see that I have Golden Goose egg ticked off, as if I have actually made it?

Zac?

Besides missing GGE that I don´t have Ludicrous!!!, because I don´t have the patience nor the interest to just play volumes hoping to get good rolls and a 60+K score.

[QUOTE=nibnedal;28451982]Hmmmm... the brainteaser is pretty easy.



Was it that easy?

How about this?

I remember reading earlier that there used to be a bug that gave GGE from some unfinished games. Don't know if those can be fixed afterwards.

Getting one score above 60k isn't really that difficult though. But yea, that's pretty much just a volume based award for anyone who knows what they are doing.

Very nice!

I didn´t think of making 4 separate chains. Awesome.

I believe this happens if you don't finish a timed game or something like that. I've also got golden goose egg but i've never achieved it.

I tested not finishing a timed game and it doesn't happen. But that's what I remember reading before too, so it probably used to happen, but has been fixed a long time ago. I wonder how many players have gotten GGE in normal mode by actually playing it, less than ten, or even less than five?

another day another abject failure in the DC

Sorry, been uber busy with real life so haven't had time for any TC fixes. As soon as I get a few minutes I"ll fix the challenge scores showing up on the leaderboard. I also plan on cleaning up the false golden goose eggs.

Awesome score TH10, I'm a little surprised you got the crown back that quickly.

next daily challenge i'm getting 79k

I´ll explain what happened yesterday. It wan´t really cheating, but trying to abuse TMI

When I played 4 players had played before me, including TH10 and Dynasty.
I saw two high daily scores of them of the 40+ kind

So I guessed that the daily challenge would give a 40+K score.
I calculated the bonus of the two scores. Dynasty had 17, TH10 had 16.

When the first racks came and it were all 4-5-6´s I was like SURE that their scores were daily challenge scores, so I continued to base my strat on this assumption. I chose basic strat because it allows more flexibility in bonus manipulation.

It was not until something like rack 8 that I saw something didn´t fit, by that time all the strat decisions were already taken and I autorolled into a high score (which I knew would not hold, because more people would play like that AND get a better 3rd chain).

Still, I had a good laugh off it.

how on earth can you calculate the bonus of someone just from their score?

Not always. First you have to write the score as a product of prime numbers.

In this case Dynasty and TH10 scores were 2*2*2*2*[large prime number] and 17* [large prime number].

If the score is something like 31920=2*2*2*2*3*5*7*19 it will not be possible.

I have used this once more in the past with success. I wrote about it itt.

hmmmm my DC score of today is far from optimal, even though I´m leading the pack (of 5) currently.

Actually this had to be a completely useless test, since it obviously cannot work, when one already has the award, otherwise people would have more of them.


How about going through with Dynasty's idea? Take screenshots between all racks, write some thoughts about them and post them the next day so people can comment on them.


Ty. Do you know how many GGEs have been played in normal mode?


Just so you don't "fail" like this in the future, the daily challenge scores have colored squares next to them.


Would be surprised if that holds.

Well, it doesn´t. Milma has a better score. Is she still allowed to play after the recent ahem, incidents?

I like giving them a 2nd chance. If they are caught cheating again, then we can consider banning them from the DC.

Well, it is actually a third chance

Whatever

ip ban them already

Tell me where they live and I'll take care of them.

So, has there been a permanent ban on milma and ???.

Also, what's the record for the most people tied for 1st in a Daily Challenge?

get new personal best, not get into the advanced 24h scoreboard

lol

I wonder if it is possible to lose rating points when you win the challenge and have to share with lots of players with lower rating.

That would be unfair

Hmmmm interesting challenge today.

I wonder what my score is worth. I haven´t got the foggiest.

So milma's score has been taken out and the massive 11 people cowin has not been updated yet in personal win records.
