 | Charlie Reams Ooh, two new ascensions since I last looked. Well done guys. |
 | Adam Gillard 8290 is massively impressive, Chris! |
 | Jack Hurst Are we going to get a leader bod for people who solved the whole lot (with repeat attempts) having the least incorreect guesses? |
 | Gevin Chapwell What happens when you have less than 20 left to solve? Does it break? |

 | Matt Hamer Gev: when you have less than 20 conundrums to go overall (or if your second or subsequent ascents are to a height not divisible by 20 m), you finish with a Custom game made up of between 1 and 19 conundrums. |
 | Dave Linton Make way. |
 | Jack Slane The more i've played this the more astonishing Jack W's achievements are. we are not worthy. |
| Jack Slane The more I play this the more astonished I am by Jack W's scoring. We are not worthy. |
| Jack Slane At the risk of repeating myself....... |
Nearby: Completed Ascension cycles, Ascension: Most correct answers.
This table shows all completed Ascensions, sorted by total play time (counting incorrect answers as 30 seconds). Only the first Ascension in a cycle is eligible. Since the number of conundrums has changed over time, all times are scaled to the current number of conundrums (11,856).
