Timing for Challenge 3

Lots of requests for info about the scoring for Challenge 3. This time we will use half day intervals, with a slight twist. You'll get 13 points for an entry on Thursday evening, 12 points for an entry between midnight and midday on Friday, and so on down to 1 point for an entry between midday and midnight on Wednesday. Hope that is clear.

It's not fair. we go home on a school bus at 3-30
and don't get to see the problem until Friday morning. We're never going to get maximum points

Anyone else out there who doesn't have broadband at home and feels they may be disadvantaged for challenge 4, which will be released during the half term holidays (when there is no access to school IT facilities)?

Like you say, we haven't decided yet!

Clear as crystal, but why don't you just give us a scoring timetable for all the challenges! Or have you not decided yet :)
