 		Hmmm... either something is broken or I'm not smart enough to figure out how you are supposed to enter your answers to the math problems.
It would appear that if you are behind a firewall, the Java breaks in such a way that it prevents you from answering the questions. Everything works fine on my machine that is tunneled through the firewall (shhhh!).

 		Well I'm behind a firewall and it works, looks like you're behind a proxy server though, oh how I hate proxy servers.

 		I played yesterday (for fun, my maths is awful), and have been awarded a Jelly Bean:

Quote:
Hi Mima,


Yesterday you scored 1 min 51.84 secs, compared to your previous time of 1 min 51.84 secs

You've played 1 times and your average score is 1 min 51.84 secs


The global average is now 1 min 45.35 secs



Your score yesterday means that you were in the top -71.42857% of players globally, and entitles you to a Black Jelly Bean.

For the record, yesterday's top three players world-wide were:

1st. alton - 43.29 secs http://www.perplexcity.com/profile/view.qbuild?player=alton
2nd. Takeru - 55.27 secs http://www.perplexcity.com/profile/view.qbuild?player=Takeru
3rd. jamesi - 56.75 secs http://www.perplexcity.com/profile/view.qbuild?player=jamesi


Ready to play again today? Deep breath...here we go: http://www.mindcandypuzzles.com

Mind Candy Puzzles is brought to you by those devious minds from Perplex City (http://perplexcity.com). They've lost something of value and could really do with your help in tracking it down. There's a reward of £100,000 or $200,000 up for grabs...

To unsubscribe all you need to do is stop playing.


I hope everyone is seriously impressed that I managed to get into the top 71%! I wonder what other colours there are, and what points you have to get in order to get them

Well done, I had an abysmal score yesterday (4 wrong, LOL)

Hi poozle, Oh no! Perhaps you'd better practice some more? Now let's go over this one more time: you need to type the answers *using your fingers*. Yesterday you scored 1 min 34.37 secs,


But today I got to 50s Smile was MUCH better.
