150/62% but I cheated after I'd exhausted literally every word I could think of in the subject area

rob, Friday, 10 June 2022 17:46 (one year ago) link

376 and i cheated too lmao

38... thank goodness memories of a number 41 hit from 1982 helped me in the end. If it had been one of the other denominations I'd have given up.

331 (62.24%), another cheater

99, absolutely cheated lol

donna rouge, Friday, 10 June 2022 19:26 (one year ago) link

603, cheated. -_-

Antifa Lockhart (Leee), Friday, 10 June 2022 22:30 (one year ago) link

took me too long (80 guesses) to get hindu, even longer to get denomination, knew I wasn't going to get it then but carried on to 350 guesses anyway.

260 in, I have about 50% of the first paragraph but resigned to scouring my brain until the deadline runs out

TWELVE Michelob stars?!? (seandalai), Saturday, 11 June 2022 12:39 (one year ago) link

cheated at 242. in fact i was trying to cheat since 220 or so but it doesn't make it easy. wouldn't've got it.

tried all my good indian religion words and got enough hits to keep me going but... "one of several major..." *several*. i was trying all the numbers.

koogs, Saturday, 11 June 2022 15:45 (one year ago) link

#65 was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaktism - another ism...

koogs, Saturday, 11 June 2022 15:47 (one year ago) link

:( I got Shakti but not the ism

TWELVE Michelob stars?!? (seandalai), Saturday, 11 June 2022 16:03 (one year ago) link

Yeah, I was very relieved to give up, see the answer and realize, No, I wouldn't have ever gotten that on my own.

pplains, Saturday, 11 June 2022 16:51 (one year ago) link

279 guesses in and I’m still completely mystified by today’s Redactle

butt-mooning is a polysemous word, hoss! (breastcrawl), Saturday, 11 June 2022 18:00 (one year ago) link

going nowhere today either, I seem to have lost my ability to Redactle...

TWELVE Michelob stars?!? (seandalai), Saturday, 11 June 2022 18:52 (one year ago) link

102 and gave in - I knew sedimentary and igneous but not metamorphic

papal hotwife (milo z), Saturday, 11 June 2022 18:55 (one year ago) link

105, took me 102 to get to rock - I feel like I either get in the right ballpark straight away or it takes me an age to figure it out. Hits at guess 23 for solid but not liquid or gas might have been a clue.

dear confusion the catastrophe waitress (ledge), Saturday, 11 June 2022 19:07 (one year ago) link

I'm shit out of rocks

Alba, Saturday, 11 June 2022 19:11 (one year ago) link

redactle's got me going on my computer on saturdays now, that's a high compliment to redactle

133 today with a 30.83%!

took me FOREVER to even get close. i think i had like 5 hits in the first 40 or so?! temperature was my first in, then after flailing i tried some high temp things which led me to core and mantle, and then eventually i just tried rock and two guesses later i got there (why i went sed before met when temperature is involved is beyond me)

Kompakt Total Landscaping (Will M.), Saturday, 11 June 2022 19:11 (one year ago) link

I'm in the 400s, fully browsing the related pages on Wikipedia, and still don't know what it is.

Antifa Lockhart (Leee), Saturday, 11 June 2022 19:18 (one year ago) link

where's sheila chandra when you need her?

73 but I kinda cheated, once i got rock i could remember igneous and sedimentary but couldn't remember the third type

JoeStork, Saturday, 11 June 2022 22:06 (one year ago) link

got there in 414 (39.21%, extremely low) things only got moving once I struck “stone” and then “rock” at 325. needed some Wiki help to find the actual answer tho

119 is that good?

I solved today's Redactle (#66) in 112 guesses with an accuracy of 41.96%.

Global Average: 112.07 Guesses; 43.01% Accuracy

...I was extremely average today.

I solved today's Redactle (#67) in 36 guesses with an accuracy of 58.33%.

Back on track! One thing I've noticed so far is that if "number" shows up, it's still not likely to be a math article.

Antifa Lockhart (Leee), Sunday, 12 June 2022 16:16 (one year ago) link

Got this one in 5. Should have been 3, but I second-guessed my instincts and put in two guesses that went nowhere before going back to my first idea.

6 for me today - good to see ILX back on track

TWELVE Michelob stars?!? (seandalai), Sunday, 12 June 2022 17:43 (one year ago) link

4 for me, I equivocated between biology and physics even though I'd seen up & down and thought of something particle.

dear confusion the catastrophe waitress (ledge), Sunday, 12 June 2022 17:55 (one year ago) link

#67 in 64. 64. Was tempted to give up when I realised it was physics so glad it ended up guessable even for me

Alba, Sunday, 12 June 2022 19:08 (one year ago) link

today in 4, incredibly

donna rouge, Sunday, 12 June 2022 20:13 (one year ago) link

i got the 2nd word at 6, am sleeping on the first

koogs, Sunday, 12 June 2022 20:16 (one year ago) link

Got the second word pretty early, but the first not until 65.

Hans Holbein (Chinchilla Volapük), Monday, 13 June 2022 04:23 (one year ago) link

40ish. i moved onto phone after getting the second word at guess 6 so i can't be exact

look at all those diagrams, no wonder it was messed up

Antifa Lockhart (Leee), Monday, 13 June 2022 16:43 (one year ago) link

Yesterday was a bit of a slog, they'll be taking back my barely-earned physics 2:2.

But today was a hole-in-one, so I can keep my Drama CSE.

absolutely nothing for the first 9 guesses, only 6 within the first 18.

koogs, Monday, 13 June 2022 18:34 (one year ago) link

hole in one but it took a while. clipping was a bit of a head scratcher.

dear confusion the catastrophe waitress (ledge), Monday, 13 June 2022 18:38 (one year ago) link

yes, i was surprised at that. also i was looking at the things that were obviously titles, only they were australian things i've not seen and so no help. all the examples seemed a bit odd

koogs, Monday, 13 June 2022 18:41 (one year ago) link

Hole in one here too – didn't spend very long looking at it, it just seemed to spring up from my subconscious.

Alba, Monday, 13 June 2022 19:05 (one year ago) link

28 (57.14%) was thinking of music and movies first, but that didn’t work out, and then, doing my regular be-been-being-are-was filler thing, Are (blank) Being (blank)? displayed itself. well, yeah

butt-mooning is a polysemous word, hoss! (breastcrawl), Monday, 13 June 2022 19:13 (one year ago) link

26, slow day I did scan the redacted titles but in fairness I've barely heard of any of the non-UK ones

TWELVE Michelob stars?!? (seandalai), Monday, 13 June 2022 20:24 (one year ago) link

#68 was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sitcom

which was bobbins. also this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_sitcom

i mean what are those things? Whack-O! Me Mammy, Clochemerle, Miss Jones and Son, If You See God, Tell Him, The Green Green Grass, who is writing this?

Current global stats - median: 38, average: 61.
