Jess, thanks for helping Susan. The order is probably not random, but is insignificant in the sense that we didn't think about it, so neither you nor we can conclude anything from it! I'll take a look some time and see what the algorithm is at that level.

Susan, it is available! If you click on the right hand half of the page where Part A is written in green, you get a page with Part A and Part B on.
Harry, are the leaderboards in any particular order for people with equal scores or is it random?

when will part B for challenge 2 be available?

As I said, I finished Part 2 on thursday, but I didn't know it was 100% correct until today! Couldn't you send feedback on the next day? You would have lost at least a point by that stage anyway, and many more later on.

More points for a correct answer on Saturday, and we are considering displaying points. How are you all getting on?

congratulations to the people that got prizes,
on challenge 2 part B, do we get more points if we submit an entry on thursday but with 1 letter wrong, or if we submit the correct answer but on saturday...
thanks

Currently we cant see our speed score or overall percentage for Part B on the leaderboard. Will we be able to see this in future?
