Hello everyone,

Was there some issue with today's instagram question.??
What i noticed is that in Dashboard it is showing time of question 11:45 PM PST (HOT Competition (Instagram) 27 Aug/11:45PM: In the rectangular coordi)

But actually it was posted on instagram around 2:30 am PST (Fri, Aug 28) (You can still check insta story as a proof)

I think this has led to many of us not getting Timer Bonus for using timer within first 60 min.

Even after answering within 60 min, I have not got any Timer Bonus.

bb Can you please look into this.
Let me know if I'm missing something.
generis Bunuel

Thanks!



bb Yes, i have got timer bonus for daily questions posted at 8am & 8 pm. But we didn't got timer bonus for Instagram question.

Even for today's question, which posted just 1 hr before, i did not receive Timer bonus even after using times and posting answer within 60 minutes.

Please let me know of timer bonus is not for Instagram questions!!

Thanks :)

But if you go to the first page of this topic and search for the word "Instagram" you will get your answer in your logs that record all points that you have been awarded. It is very easy to post vague and generic questions and send me as an errand boy to fetch screenshots. I am sorry but this is your second question for today and I won't be able to research any more of your questions today as there are other folks asking better questions.

If you have an issue, plesae document it with screenshots and evidence - e.g. here is my timer taken within 1 hour of question being posted and it has been a certain amount of time and I think I should have received points for it. That saves me A LOT OF time not needing to hunt for information which later appears to be correct.

Here is a screenshot of them for you.

The attachment instagram-roll.png is no longer available





Hello bb , My apologies for not being specific. I think we misunderstood each other. I'll try to explain in detail this time.

Please find below my detailed analysis along will all the screenshot attached.

I am talking about the latest instagram question published on Fri, Aug 28 2020 around 9:15 am PST ( "In the “stress tests” published in the Federal Reserve’s annual ")

Below screenshot proof of my error log that shows that i have used timer within 60 min.


Also, i have attached screenshot of me getting point of posting explanation.(that too withing 60 min).
But, i have not got TIMER BONUS for that.(Fri, Aug 28 2020)



Reason :- I have done analysis from my end that why all of us are not getting TIMER BONUS and what i realized is that the time written in question does NOT mach with the time when question is posted on instagram. As you can see for youself that the latest question(Fri, Aug 28) was posted around 9:15am PST on instagram but in the question time written is 4am PST. (screenshot attached)


I maybe wrong also. Let me know if I'm missing something. Apologies again :( :( i know you must be very busy !!

Hi bb,

Do we get bonus points for "using timer 30 times/day" even if we use timer on the weekends?

Hi Bb,
It is past noon and true now. Just checked I haven't received 50 points for 30 timers on 27th. Seems like the system got hurt because of my earlier glitch! Checked in the logs. Attaching screenshot. There's no reference for 27th. Ps look into it.

Hello bb,

I just realised that I have not got 30 question timer bonus for 26th. and right now for 28th as well.
I have completed more than 30 questions for both days and that excludes the number of HOT question. So if you add them for each day, it would become more than 40 in total for both days.

Please help!

Thank you :)

The 24 hours is calculated according to Pacific standard time. Maybe, you have to check about that.

Yes i am very peculiar about that. I do it at same time every day. I have got for 25 and 27 but not for 26 and 28th

Also in my error logs I had confirmed all the timings since i could see many people misreading the timings, so I made sure I was not making the same mistake. For me, they are all same for every day and within pacific 24 hrs each day.

Its really discouraging when you put so much effort and time to attempt all questioms and yet you dont get awarded for it, since we are in a competition.

100 points is a lot :'(

Dear Bb,

I have got 13 kudos but in my stats it says only 10. I was only wondering if you could check on it please.

Also I have taken 30 timers on the 26th and a27th of August. But the 50 points were not added.

Please can you check on this.

Thank you so much.

You counted them Using pacific time? Or some random time zone?

Posted from my mobile device


I counted them using pacific time only. also i do all the question in same time to avoid any confusion like these. So I have got marks for 2 days already.
please find attached screen shot. Its easy to calculate ..the time in my error log is aligned with pacific time only. becoz i attend the questions in morning and time is shown for night. i keep checking time parellely after each question. so its not according to my current time.

PFB the screenshots:
the time is according to pacific and not IST time.

Can we maintain daily questions post and the one containing its queries separate? I feel its getting clumsy.

You might get 10 points for posting the explanation.Not sure though. Just give it a try. You can then check in your logs, also given on the first page under the first post. You can read all the rules in the first post on the same topic. Go to first page.

Hey Bb,

I just confirmed. The issue still persists. I got the points for 30 timers taken on 28th but not on 27th. 27th has 22 timers taken in quant and 16 in verbal. I also checked my global settings. It has always been on the PST time zone. Attaching all the screenshots for reference. Ps let me know if there's any flaw in my reasoning or assumption. I also read one of your posts from above. I'm not sure on how to apply daylight saving settings or whether I have it enabled.
Thanks.

Edit: I see that DST is already enabled.

I have played this game for two years. I have not lost it a single time. Usually somebody doesn’t read some thing or is lazy. This is your problem as well. There’s a few problems with your post.

First, You did not attach screenshots of timers that you have taken. You took the lazy approach of just giving a screenshot of all timers in the statistics page.

Second, You did not read that Reading comprehension Timers do not count.

There is no issue. There’s nothing persisting. You need to work on your reading abilities.
