Bunuel I have received 5 kudos today on the questions added but I have received points for only 4. One of the kudos was just given. Is that the reason for the delay in the points. Thank you for your help.

Yes. Dev team needs some time to recalculate the points.

Has anyone broken the enigma of 30 timers in a day?!

You mean 30 ques in a day. Yes, I did at least 4 times.

No I specifically meant 30 timers bb told me that both are not the same & I have no clue why there are not the same!

I have no idea what you mean by this. But, I took 30 timers separately and got 50 bonus points. (At least 50 bonuses credited to my score 4 times).

I guess you are the chosen one.

I cannot remember if that was you but one user (maybe?) was trying to take Questions in GMAT Club Tests. So I told them that only timers taken in for specific forums count. Not questions in gmat club tests. It is about timers, not questions. Posted from my mobile device

Yes it was me, Understood! Thanks for the clarification

661 bonuses were awarded during the first week for 30 timers. You can see the stats on the dashboard. It is all public 😎 PS. And just saw we have over 2,000 people participating in the competition! We had about 250 join since the start (I think) 👍👍👍 Posted from my mobile device
