champagne, I must say, you've made the art of "running up a score" into a science.

champagne, I must say, you've made the art of "running up a score" into a science.

My strategy has nothing special;

Trying first to find high ratings,

Coming back later to see what I can find in the puzzles unexplored.

But this game is special. It seems evident that we all have holidays constraints. I first did not want to play that game, but when I saw, waking up, that mike was alone, I played just to come with him. I had the chance to find the 11.3, so I tried to stay active.

Where we are, I guess that each of us has in cache several submissions. Why some are waiting is another question.

BTW, i find your process very efficient in the middle range of ratings. Difficult to guess if this comes from different seeds or from specific ways to generate puzzles.
