Being somewhat obsessive compulsive, not only have I played GC since it began, I've also kept statistics on my scores etc.

I played the first set when it popped up on Monday, and both sets on Tuesday. This time around I'm playing Hardcore, and I do the Impossible quiz in each round.

So when I logged in on Wednesday to update my spreadsheet and play the next set and it told me I had only played 10 quizzes, I was a bit surprised - particularly since others have played over 20. I know I played them all.

Also, this time I've not been given any point - not even fractions - for the Impossible. In previous GCs (including those where I played Hardcore) I've always got something... however meagre....

I'm not even trying to win this one as I'll be offline for a week or more soon, but it did seem strange that the games weren't registering.

Did you score at least 10 out of 15 in less than 130 seconds?

In HC, Impossible only registers if you get ten right within the time limit. My records show only 20 games played too as I failed to reach the required target in Impossible despite playing each time. At higher levels, this happens more and more with other topics failing to register as well.

That's probably what happened with Impossible - although in the past I've got a fraction of a point or two even when over 130 seconds.

But it doesn't explain the other quizzes not registering. I'd played 15 and it showed 10...

If you checked right after playing in the overall standings, those aren't updated live. It can take up to an hour for your play to appear.
