I got locked out on #133 Irrationality, and I know my answers were right - I've been checking them for the last 43 hours. I need sleep.

MC are clearly struggling with the demand - and in truth they have been ever since the site was relaunched. 50,000 is bull - 1/100th of that maybe at any given time.

My guess is that they have major issues with their website hosts - so what do they do ? Change providers and take another 6 weeks to launch S2 - or go ahead and hope it works out ?

This stacks up with the fact the cards side of things has worked very well - good distribution (my (UK) box arrived 8.22am 1/3/07 and great printing (the odd typo not withstanding - intentional ?)

They have cocked up the website hosting - and I am sure they know they need to sort that out asap.

Ok, has anyone seen any information pertaining to first solves? I checked my solved cards list, and a bunch that I thought didn't go through did, but that's all it tells you.

I don't see first solved, how many solved, etc. listed anywhere.
They also aren't asking us whether we thought the card was too hard, too easy, etc.

Anyone else find this info elsewhere on the site??

I've realised the puzzles with drop-down menu answers work in Firefox, but not in IE.

I've managed to solve #133 Irrationality and #198 Colourblind with Firefox. The exact same answers to these cards only got "incorrect" responses with IE.

You and me both Sad

There are only two words missing on #198 (once I corrected my misspellings, heh!) and 3 attempts to enter them have locked me out.

I've sent an email to MC. Despite spending a few hundred quid on PXC over the last year or so, I'm quite tempted to walk away. This is a f**king joke. I've no interest in solving the 'puzzle' of grossly incompetent web design - that's too much like work.
