Wow!
Actually when I read the first sentence of your post, I thought you had written a Monty Python script, but then I am probably on the autistic spectrum. This looks great, thanks, volvox! |

Learning Python is also one of my many projects to do, so I figured this would be a good opportunity. Since I am a Python noob, this isn't the greatest script and doesn't have much in the way of error handling, but it gets the job done. Here's a new version of the script. I fixed a bug where some puzzles would be excluded, and added the capability to tell you what puzzles you have not solved (it will also ignore that large block of missing puzzles from ~8600 to ~19000). The script will only output to files now, one will tell you the puzzles you've solved, the other the ones you have not solved. To run the script now use: Code: python SolvedPuzzles.py <username> <password> <solved filename> <unsolved filename> Note that all parameters are now required.

The new leaderboard is up!
New features: I have now mined PXC for all usernames, so this is now a true leaderboard of all those 60,000 or so who have registered usernames - hence a few new names sprinkled among the list (surprisingly few, though). News: a change at the top for the first time! Cabbage goes down a place despite solving over 300 puzzles! Addicts of the week: What_ and beaker_muppet. |

It's getting harder now I've finished all the Ponturus, Cidouris and Hitoris.
Ah well, on to the Bacarbas, the challenging Kakuros and the blooming Sudokus (my least favourite puzzles)... |

Thanks for this doublecross. I've been dying for something PerplexCityish to do for a long time now. I can't believe all those puzzles I did many months ago has kept me kinda-sorta in the running. I hope to catch up soon. | |||||||||

Methinks trk is going for a daily record having solved nearly 1450 puzzles since lunchtime!
He's done more than 100 in the last 10 minutes! |

If I may be so bold, kind sir, may I venture a polite enquiry to ask those like your good self who are at the zenith of this thread's eponymous leaderboard, what kind of puzzles are actually left for you to do (especially 1450 of) ? |

Yup, thought I'd exhaust the puzzles I had left... that's it (for now until some new ones appear), I've done all the ones I can. I'd better get back to looking at Gel Together and Thirteenth Labour then... or try and find someone to swap with for the ones I'm missing... But I'm now in 5 figures for puzzle solves... something for every one else to aim for. PS Andy, you've more card solves than me, you should be able to overtake me, just. |

Cabbage wrote: Zoikes! None now, but some of the Moshi Monsters ones are "solvable". You don't get a picture, but then you don't get a choice of whether the answer is right or wrong. If the first answer is the correct one then no matter which answer you choose it will say it's correct. You just have to plough through the several thousand puzzles to find the ones that will give you a solve. It's a pity they've not been added to slamboozle, then it'd be possible to solve all of them. BTW, my fingers now ache after all that clicking pressing buttons. |

Wow, well done! OK, - by my reckoning the new DAILY points record stands at 1621, set today by trk ... there's a challenge for anyone... I'll see what I can do, but I suspect it'll not be beaten! I certainly can't move my fingers at the rate of 22 solves a minute, like happened a few times in trk's run! |

AndyAndyO wrote: Wow, well done! The trick is to preload all the pages into tabs in the browser and then work out the right combination of mouse clicks and key presses to select an option, select "Check Answer" and close the tab. It's possible to hit a rate of just over 1 attempt a second (probably around 70-80 a minute). With a 1 in 4 chance of getting a correct, you can hit around the 18 solves a minute mark. There are some sets of Moshi puzzles that are biased towards the first answer, so that gives more chance of getting over the 20 mark. |

Behold, the list of all puzzle names and their associated numbers. The results of another Python programming exercise for me. I'm glad this isn't something that I'll need to run again since it took quite a while to finish.
This is a straight CSV file of the number and the name. I figured people can pull it into Excel or whatever and sort/filter the data as they see fit. Oh yeah, this list does not include the actual puzzle cards (I was too lazy to figure out how to parse those HTML pages for the info), but I don't think that's much of a problem for everyone. Anyhoo, enjoy.

Thanks volvox!
This week's leaderboard is up, and trk has regained the crown in spectacular fashion, being the first player with a five-digit score, and having solved over 1500 puzzles in one week. Thanks to volvox, we know that trk has fewer than 1000 puzzles to solve (although they are probably most, if not all, insoluble). Other addicts are (ahem) myself, SUPERMAF and Roark. MD1500 has also gone up 46 places. |
