I would rather dare to suggest somethin...Hello All,<br />I would rather dare to suggest something else:<br /><br />If possible, to make the answering time being 2 days long for each quiz, that is, a new quiz will still be published every day, but each day<br />will be closed at the end of the next day only<br />in what regards scoring and ranking.<br /><br />This of course will add up to the tension of waiting 2 days for the updated scores,<br />but maybe will give everybody a better chance<br />to avoid encountering the web site being down...<br /><br />The 4 hours chosen for cancelling a whole day contest results could as well be considered<br />unfair for the players who did succeed to answer and did it well, though, of course,<br />theoretically everyone is equally exposed both to the good and to the bad side of the decision.<br /><br />By the way, besides the drastical problem of the site being down, there is another technical issue that might influence one's scoring: the answer time probably starts to run in the moment when we press the "Take the quiz" button, but after doing this there might be a different time until the browser effectively displays the page with the question, depending probably on the local internet connection, a.s.o.<br />The same might be true, though probably less,<br />when pressing the "Submit" button.<br /><br />I suppose it is very difficult to achieve complete equality when such technicalities are involved, anyway, it is still a great thing that we find ourselves together day by day,<br />playing the quiz, learning and improving ourselves all the time and, not least,<br />passionately waiting for the results ...<br /><br />Thanks Steven a lot for your permanent endeavours to make this quiz a real happening and being so prompt in answering all our messages and concerns !<br /><br />Best Regards to all & Have a nice week,<br />Iudith MentzelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8677649049588007585.post-51494975366093254492010-11-25T09:45:46.340+00:002010-11-25T09:45:46.340+00:00I never made it for the 24th and I notice my ranki...I never made it for the 24th and I notice my ranking just dropped 600 places! :(alchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05372973618706697631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8677649049588007585.post-26546692843191375122010-11-25T01:02:23.288+00:002010-11-25T01:02:23.288+00:00The PL/SQL Challenge is back up.

I just hope that the service provider can get the server back up and running for the next quiz (starts in 9 mins).<br /><br />As soon as I find out when the server went down, I will make an announcement regarding the status of today's quiz results.<br /><br />SFSteven Feuersteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16619706770920320550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8677649049588007585.post-34502569009412123812010-11-24T23:43:54.850+00:002010-11-24T23:43:54.850+00:00Me too I could'n play before today.
