Reflections on a Quiet Finish: Josh’s Puzzle Competition Recap

Nice work, Josh. Quiet finish. Nobody’s yelling and screaming. I think I would yell and scream if I finished. I’d be like, look at me, look at me, I’m done. Okay, so let’s take a look at the data. 12 people finished this one in under an hour, and Kathy and Sarah were the only ones who were right on top of each other. Then we can look at everybody’s finish times. So you can see that 79 people finished and 19 didn’t. And then it’s the top 33 puzzlers who make it through to the final. So to make it through, you had to finish by an hour 15. All right, this is me. Oh my gosh, I just realized I have a clear view of Andrea Pang and Becca Taylor. I’m just gonna feel really bad about myself this whole time.
