::: comment :::

in the Final Results (posted a few minutes before next game starts),
g.r.emlin re-computes bonus_Last

it's a cute little bug
which increases the bonus just a few points
(for all the "more")

this bug can change the result of a game unexpectedly

in game 229 champagne was winning right until the end when the game closed and it's clear from the last few submissions after my 7.2 diamond that he stopped playing just to be nice and let mike and pat catch up

then he submits all his more puzzles which gives no points to himself and gives mike 22 extra points for no reason at all and champagne loses the game by submitting more puzzles, which he obviously wouldn't have done if he knew about the bug

I did not see it, but I have in mind another bug with the mores.
Once, I caught a huge penalty doing the following :
I posted the more without the a code /code.
Thinking that this was not correct, I duplicated the post putting the "more" in a code /code mode
And got something as a 24 x50 penalty due to a "duplicated entry" for these "more" of no value
Not enough interest on my side on this topic to dig in the past to catch the game number

Well, seriously, I always was of the opinion that it isn't whether you win or lose .... but how you play the game that matters.
I always feel sorry for m_b_m as he never wins .... but plays well
