Been playing some puzzle rush lately. I noticed the annoyance of getting a hard puzzle with a very low rating and solve rate when doing fine ,(not great - but ok) . I had 900 rated puzzles be much harder than 2800 rated ones, ... in a rush. Annoy me if you can, is that chess(dot)com's objective?

Ratings are based on players of different ratings attempting them, similar to halow games are done. Sometimes the ratings can get out of whack and they are manually reset.
