When you finish in the top ten of an hourly, when are the bonus points awarded? You get points for playing the game, then get the bonus after the hour is over, correct?

I *think* that is correct.

Wouldn't it be better to let someone who actually knows the answer respond to this?

Yes, you do get that bonus when the hour is over and the scores have been processed, so make sure you do not run into a lingering bonus when trying for a point precision. (I strongly recommend to leave one full hour between any hourly play and beginning your precision adjustments, just to be sure you don't forget about one of them).

Daily bonuses, however, are applied on the NEXT day. So you don't need to try and figure those out for a precision run.

I was fairly sure of the answer, but I didn't want to get blamed if it was wrong.

Okay. I guess it was pretty obvious why I asked? lol Yeah, it was about point precision-type stuff. The Three Keys challenge is why I asked.
