I am sorry. I know some of these times are not ideal. In part, we try to reward those who can solve the questions in a timely manner. On the other hand, I did unites everybody around a single time when the questions are released.

I know we have had a few people from Australia and it was really inconvenient for them. Last year we tried posting questions twice a day. Once at 8 AM Pacific and once at 8 PM Pacific but that has proven to be tricky on multiple levels so we have gone back to a single time, once per day.

We do run other competitions such as 12 days of Christmas, (sorry if you don’t celebrate Christmas, which you don’t have to it’s just a name) where you are able to attempt questions throughout the day.

Why do you guys do the 2 hour thing?

Why don't you let it go for 24 hours so that people in different time zones don't have to wake up in the middle of the night to solve these?

I'm genuinely just curious

Whoever can consistently solve those Quant questions within 3-4 minutes is definitely at 51-point level, if not higher.

As mentioned, some of the quant are very hard! Many are like nothing you have ever seen before. However, all questions fit within the testing material on the GMAT.

PS. This is a competition and it’s designed to find the best of the best which is pretty hard to do with easy questions 😊

Yeah, I agree with you bb

The questions were awesome, I couldn't sleep :cry: because I was not able to get the logic for one of the quant questions. In fact, I had a dream about the question. :lol: :lol:

High-quality questions, Kudos to the question setters.

Make sure that you have actually taken three timers between midnight of one day and midnight of the other day using Pacific daylight savings time.

You can go into your error log and change the time zone to Pacific time and said the daylight savings time zone and count the number of front door question do you have actually attempted.

You took them between 12:01 AM US PDT and 11:59 PM US PDT Time?
I suggest you change your time zone to the US Pacific time daylight savings are on and count the number of timers taken in your Error log. I am pretty sure you will get your answer. Everyone else has in the last 3 years :cool:

I just find out that every reply is now hidden with the message that "this reply is hidden until the winner is announced".

Earlier, all replies are shown after 24 hours.

To facilitate learning, which is the goal for most participants, please consider reverting back to the old behavior.
