Costs. Daily Puzzle I don't really want to go too far into this as I do not know if it is planned we will all contribute to every daily puzzle, but todays is rather annoying me in the questions clarity.
I'm just wandering if you think that
a) They are actually asking for the cost of the coffe or the choclate.
b) Is the answer in pence or hundreths of pence, e.g 0.01 Pence is 1p or 1/100 of one penny,
c)(edit) Also in the comments someone has said the answer is in PCL and not the pence mentioned.
Finally, do you only get on go on the daily puzzle for points, otherwise it seems a bit pointless... and I don't want to risk finding out.
Thanks. Adam G.

You get unlimited goes, strangely, and the answer seems to be wrong for todays, unless I'm missing something....

Ok i got it. Ignoor the pence, thats wrong its all PCL.
Also, if I did read it right it is correct but it's the price of the coffe they want.
Any other questions feel free to ask or PM.

Strange, I didn't get any points for doing the daily puzzle today, is this supposed to happen or is it because I solved today's daily puzzle yesterday while looking around the site? If so, this is quite unfair.

I hope thats not the case, I spent a while yesterday doing the logic puzzles and whatnot. Also, there is no was, apart from checking what is to become a very long list, to check waht you have solved or not, you could be doing that same sudoku you were a week ago and not know it

Have tried again and still do not receive points, is anyone else having the same problem? It is a bit unfair and I think this feature is quite pointless if the puzzles used in it are directly from the site. Why not have a puzzle of the week and use puzzles that are not on the site. I wish I hadn't visited the site last night now, as I would have double the points I have now.
It is also a bit irritating not having a list of the puzzles that you have solved (and the answers if wanted).

You can see the puzzles (and cards) you have solved by clicking on the # of SOLVED PUZZLES in the top right hand corner of the screen.
The number is a hyperlink to a list of puzzles/cards that you have solved and each one is a hyperlink to that card or puzzle.
Does that help?

nope..
this list is wrong...
it's missing all the Sudoku Puzzles I solved yesterday, all the 'japanese style' now that I look at it (no points either..) and according to the list I solved T Time twice...

Hmmm.. I don't have any extra points...
I would hit MC at the helpSPLAT address and see what they can do...

I have sent them an email, I hope they will sort out the problem, otherwise it will be happening to everyone sooner or later, when people have solved more puzzles. It kind of puts me off solving more puzzles on the site now.
