I wouldn't worry about people participating once or twice and going away. First of all, there are lots of fun things you can do on this site that aren't participating in the timed tests -- like grabbing puzzle sets to go and do at leisure. My kids like the easier puzzles from the sets, but they'd hate the stress and perceived lack of success of the timed tests. You might want to consider whether you have regular visitors who aren't participating in the timed tests.

But also, the tests are really *very difficult*. I'm a pretty experienced puzzler and, with the exception of the Screen Test (which played to my strengths), I'm consistently coming about 3/4 of the way down the field. Lots of people would find that discouraging and go find an easier site. But that's actually the unique thing about this site so you wouldn't want to get rid of it.

You might want to think about occasionally having a set of easier puzzles for novices/kids. Or not; there's plenty of other stuff out there.

2nd most incorrect submission percentage... yay?
I remembered rushing my assignment and miscalculating the time I have left to play Puzzle Hybrids and ended up missing it.
Was a shame because Bram's puzzles are really good. Kudos to the Perfect Dozen - you're truly a fan of puzzles!

I didn't add any filters. Just took top 10 submissions from India, and sorted by the %age correctness.

Tejal makes 2 extremes :P I'm equally bad at both. At least there's uniformity.

Really interesting statistics.....
I am happy to find my name here amongst top Indians......

I can also confirm that most number of incorrect submissions are from you (40). I'm not going to put a table for that.

Moving on to the next category, here is some puzzle related stats. The first one is easy to find out from the tests' score page.
