As online DM readers will know, they now show your position out of all those who submitted for certain puzzles. What do they mean by position?

Just 'for fun', I completed today's crossword 'off line' first. I then went online and filled in the answers as quickly as my fingers would allow. It showed that it took me 15 seconds. But I was 18th out of 459 players! Am I missing something?

Don't tell me 441 players did the same as I just did - but have quicker fingers!

Arrods, it is quite possible as thousands of people do the crossword.

aelmpvw

doesn't it mean the quickest to submit?

dannyk13

Slightly off topic. Does anyone think there is a new compiler doing the Daily Mail Prize crossword.Either I am losing it or the compiler is.
I find the clues really weird and see no reasoning in a lot of them. Is it just me? :-(

dannyk13

Retro, I once mad enquires as to who was the setter.Apparently there isn't one person and they are compiled by the office staff.

dannyk13

^made enquiries^

retrocop

Thanks danny
Does that include the office cleaner :-)
Can you notice any difference?

Fair enough Danny. Today's was fairly easy though, as the 4 down clues were 'obvious' and so you didn't have to worry about the 4 across ones. I'll have another go when the clues are really obscure, just to see what happens!

I think you can sense that there are different compilers.

But also off topic, why is there no consistency in offering a prize on Saturdays? Sometimes there's a prize for the Spiral, and sometmes not.

dannyk13

Retro, yes , there were a couple of iffy ones today IMO.

retrocop

Same yesterday Danny.

retrocop

Glad it's not just me.

Arrods //But also off topic, why is there no consistency in offering a prize on Saturdays?//
Since the Mail was taken over there are a few things regarding the puzzles that have gone to pot, e.g one prize a week instead of one a day foer the prize crossword.
