We received your bug report! Thanks for that. Quick question though, @mykonchess — when you go to https://www.chess.com/stats/puzzles/mykonchess, are the rating points that you receive for a given puzzle the points from the first (70%) or the second (100%) attempt?
I think I found some sort of exploit in puzzles. I just started grinding puzzles, way over my actual ELO so they take me forever to solve. When I just finished one, it gave me the points to only 70% bcs I took so long. I then looked through the comments, clicked on one user to see what ELO he was out of curiousity, and then returned - I got the same puzzle again. After completing it again, it did not show that I had already completed it (so I did not get points twice), however, this time since I knew the moves, I was able to get 100% of the points. I did this once more just to confirm, and thought I'll let you know.
All the best,
Sebastian
