yeah and when you solve the puzzle succesfully you get 1 point and when you fail you lose 25. Screw this system. I am not going to do any puzzles here.

According to your puzzle history you were given puzzles several hundreds points below your rating which might indicate that your puzzle difficulty is set to "Normal", try changing it to "Hard" or "Extra hard" to get more balanced reward/penalty ratio
Did they do this to everyone or just non-paying members lol

Now my puzzles are too easy but I can't get any higher. Did they revamp the system?
