 | Jon Pinyan So under option 1, 9.5-9.7 seconds is worth 1 point. Are all solves after that worth 0, or are solves past 10 seconds worth negative points? >:D |

 | Jason Turner Its supposed to be Christmas Advent calendar, that should bring joy to all that play. Making it fastest finger or best score is hardly a present for us lowly oiks. Perhaps level the playing field in a couple to keep the interest of the lower ranked players |
| Wesley Barton Some of the options are skill-based, some require different strategies, and some are luck-based. As Andy's said previously, the final choice for each day is random. |
Tourney round: Advent Calendar 2024: Day 8: Junior Conundrum Attack
Notes from the organizer: Day 8 is a Junior Conundrum Attack
Three scoring options are:
Option 1: Conundrums start with a value of 30-points and decrease by 1-point for every 0.3 second increment over 1-second it is solved in. 1-second or under is worth 30-points, 1.1-1.3 is worth 29-points, 1.4-1.6 is worth 28-points and so on
Option 2: 3 bonus points for every time a letter appears in the same place in the selection as it does in the solution when you correctly solve it.
Option 3: Minus 10 points for every time there are repeated consecutive letters in the solution regardless if you solve it correctly or not
