I took participation in Puzzle Ramayan (4th-8th of January) for the first time after long break and I am very embarrassed, beause I can't open a "score page" on my notebook and my smartphone as well and I am not among 300 best solvers, so up to now I don't know how many points I've obtained and on what position I've finished. So I probably will resign to take participation in any of the next competitions, nevertheless I took participation in World Wide Puzzle Championship in Eger (Hungary) in 2005.

Hi Wojciech,
You have scored 33.4 Points. You are at #148 position out of 188 participants.
I would request you to please do not stop participating.
Regarding the score page, you would need an adobe flash plugin in the browser. Smartphone browser does not support that. Not only you but even we can't open it in the smartphone. I don't know if notebook as well supports it, so please check that. Best way to access score page is through laptop browsers like Google Chrome, Mozilla, Opera etc.
If you have further difficulties please feel free to ask in the forum, we would be happy to assist you.

Thank you for your suggestions. I've just tried to open "score page" using Google Chrome and I've opened it succesfully. Of course I'll try to take participation in next competition, because it'll be a good preperation before semifinals of Polish Championship in Puzzles and Sudoku, which every year are organised in February.

Best regards,

Wojciech Gryciuk

Regarding Flash requirement, I'm still curious why LMI still uses Flash instead of e.g. JavaScript or something that WPF Grand Prix, USPC, etc use.

Great set of puzzles. I am stuck on the last Wranglers ......... any tips or tricks would be appreciated. Thanks.
