I've also noticed this. back when the ratings were inflated it made sense that u would barely gain rating but lose a lot but even tho they lowered our ratings we still barely gain rating but lose quite a bit of rating when we mess up...

Solve extra hard puzzles, it's better for ELO.
The amount gained/lost is lower but fewer puzzles will be solved, on average, and the total amount of change should be similar.
I'm no Ramanujen, but it seems like 80% correct puzzles is what you need to average to barely gain any puzzle ELO. If you want to make "quick progress", better make it 90%. It's just an eyeball dead reckoning. Can anyone come up with a formula for it? Thanks!
