About LMI Ratings

LMI Puzzle Rating is a measure of a player's recent performances in LMI Monthly Puzzle Tests.

The rating is calculated based on a scientific algorithm, which uses multiple factors (e.g. scores, consistency, # of tests). The maximum possible rating is 1000 and the minimum is 0.

The LMI Puzzle Ratings will be updated approximately once a month.
