I complained but then got my laptop out, and upgraded it just to play level 1 of the 5th round because level 2 is a bitch.

Will they take your highest score from a game level or just the score of the latest game you played? I actually got lower on my second attempt than my first one and am trying to get to 20000 just so i could be close to the leaderboards.

they seem to take your highest score, just completed the game 5 level 2 puzzle after about a year and a half of clicking 881 points crap didn't even show up on my score.

Well this blows. I can't get higher than 975 on the first test because I can't move left or right fast enough. I'm using chrome and can't install IE9 because I'm on Windows XP.

Sounds like they're not even testing if the browser is compatibile, but rather checking straight browser useragent strings, and restricting anything that's not IE9 on Windows... that's certainly cutting off users.
One benefit tho? Forcing existing old-IE users to finally upgrade to IE9 (though if they're still on IE6-8, it's probably by determined choice)

On the first test, is it even possible to dodge some of those blocks? The gaps aren't big enough to go through and you can't avoid them.

It's not possible to move left or right quick enough to dodge them. It's stupid. Might be different in IE9, in fact, most likely is. I can get 6,600 on the block dropping test. Seems the 5th test is IE9 exclusive and I'll never get play it.

Using IE9 seems to make no difference to the tests.
And the 5th test is so difficult I might as well have not tried it.

I got a score for the last test (a massive 888) and an achievement neither of which are showing up. On the first test just increase your keyboards double click speed and decrease the time it waits to click, all the blocks are avoidable even playing in chrome, incognito.

You could just move to the left or right wall, you don't have to go through them. Then again that's because I must have a slow internet so I can't go beyond the 250 points mark in that test, which also means I can move fast enough (from my perspective) to do that.

I despise those number sliding puzzles. With a passion. And yeah, this series of exams seems to be nothing more than an assessment of how crappy and slow our computers are. Even with IE9.
