Eoin Jackson

Eoin Jackson Is this some sort of Apartheid system whereby those who got the 2nd chance will be treated as 2nd class citizens henceforth?

(I quite like it! 👀)

Eoin Jackson

Eoin Jackson I wonder is the "second shot" a complete clean slate, or should an extra 30s be added to each of our solve time tallies?

George Armstrong

George Armstrong Probably the latter if I wanted to be pedantic but as it would apply to all of you it doesn't really matter

Eoin Jackson

Eoin Jackson Assuming we are not completely 2nd class citizens, and could potentially win if one or more of us stays on till the end, clocking in the lowest overall solve time, then it becomes important.

Or is your betting against that unlikely but possible outcome part of the thrill? 😉

Mark O'Regan

Mark O'Regan Is this not a “plate” competition so essentially a separate tourney to those who made it through on Day 1 in the main event? So the extra 30s is irrelevant as applies to everyone who ended up in this “Second Shot” tourney

Eoin Jackson

Eoin Jackson "Plate", hmm. That's some sort of sporting term. One that I just looked up. And yeah it means what you said... so I was right in the first place - we ARE 2nd class citizens from here on out.

Use of "A Second Shot" is what mainly caused the confusion. That term implies redemption rather than relegation.

Ian Volante

Ian Volante As a secondary point, the difficulty of conundrums appears more relevant than solving time. Maybe this could be taken into account in the future?

George Armstrong

George Armstrong Yeah they've been harder than anticipated but that's all part of the luck of the draw
