::: comment :::

are we really trying to get those "rarities" ?

for example --
the early posting of 8.3/8.3/8.3
now prevents me from posting
......1...2...1.4...5.9...7...1...6...6.7.5...9...8...8...5.9...6.4...3...7.....2 8.3/7.1/3.4

some ED ratings may be rare precisely due to trumping
my current strategy is to flush out diamonds first
but that is deflating my score because it jumps over some rarities
but it also prevents others from getting rare bonuses
not sure how the strategy should shift at this point

I was just rambling about how your observation also affected my results
and may possibly affect my approach

Just a quick question, if you folks don't mind.

ER......Explainer Rating? (Sudoku Explainer)
EP......?
ED......?

TIA

[Pat]

the serious players
are trying to win the game --
whereas i post with no strategy,
knowing i can't win,
just wondering if i'll end up with any positive score
meanwhile i suppose my joining
has dropped the timeout from 5 days
to just 1 day
