       @HenningKA_DK @charlotteclymer Uhhh, TIME, "decimate" actually technically means to reduce by 1/10th (e.g. 1 out of 10 lost) not reduce to 1/10th of the original (e.g. 9 out of 10 lost). The modern meaning is actually more extreme than the technical meaning.(It comes from an ancient Roman practice of punishing an army by executing 1 out of 10 of the soldiers.)

       @futurebird I think, unfortunately, that this is widespread and not just a Trump person problem.See the general reaction to Large Language Models (AI). It's all about feel and facts aren't terribly relevant.

       @ericwastl I think dropping the global leaderboard and not having the puzzles lead all the way to Christmas Eve will probably help a lot of participants' sanity as well as your own. 😀 (Certainly, as someone who only very rarely got any global score but has some over-competitive tendencies, this feels like a change for my own good.)Thank you for all you've done and continue to do!
