Hi, I believe I should be in the 100 fastest solvers for problem 751, but I'm not. Is it necessary to be the first try (as it took me 2)? Thanks for a response!

The fastest solvers is not to do with how quickly you solved it from when you first read the problem. Instead it records how quickly the problem was solved from the publication date. Problem 751 was published at 10pm (GMT) on 13 March 2021 and had been solved by 100 people within 3 hours 23 minutes from the moment it was published. You would need to have solved it within that window to be among that particular group of fastest solvers.

I see, thanks for the clarification!

Hello,
It seems the title of this thread perfectly fits my issue: I solved problem 768 on Wed, 10 Nov 2021, 23:46, according to the website (and I can confirm ). I was expecting to be the 69th fastest solver but unfortunately I did not immediately appeared in the ranking nor I immediately got the "One In A Hundred" award. I though the process could take some time, but I see now that some else has taken the 69th spot.
Is there some kind of delay? Or is there an issue or something I misunderstood?
Thanks!
