 | Ben Wilson Even though it'll knock me massively down the list, I'm not sure repeat ascension runs should be included on this list. |
 | Quinn James I'm not sure either. But first-time ascension runs definitely should be on, and I'm not sure there's a way to distinguish the two retroactively. |
| Quinn James No, silly comment; you could just compare the time the person finished Ascension with the time of the game. I haven't fully woken up, it seems. |
This table shows the highest-difficulty successes in Conundrum Attacks (i.e. the total difficulty of all conundrums solved). Only the highest total by each player is shown. Ascension games are not included since their set of possible answers can become restricted.
