Gareth - I'm still finding myself in the 2nd column every time despite not using any aids etc. Any suggestions?

Hi Penelope,
I'm sorry you're having problems. The only reason a result goes in the second column is if the player is loaded two or more times, so your browser must be fetching the page twice for some reason. Normally this only happens if someone double clicks a link, rather than single clicking it, but I'm sure you're not doing that since you didn't use to have problems.
Can you remind me which browser you are using on your Android tablet? And if you happen to know the version of the browser, that might be useful too.
Have you tried with a different browser on the same tablet too?
Hi Gareth, Using Google rather than Chrome seems to help.I don't know why this suddenly started to happen because I've used Chrome for years and haven't changed my tablet. If Google starts playing up too I'll get back to you. Thanks for replying Penny

Hi Penny, Okay - great! Chrome is probably auto-updating to new versions, and those new versions sometimes bring bugs. It must be fetching the page twice, and that can only be a bug.
The only workaround would be to change the way the player loads and works, which I do think I need to do since iOS 11 seems to be stopping puzzles from closing properly.

Key
A yellow/light blue highlight in the time distribution charts highlights your time, where relevant.
Rating scores out of 10.0 show the average difficulty rating chosen by users, where 1.0 is "Easy" and 10.0 is "Hard".
If a puzzle is opened more than once, including by loading from a saved position, then this is potentially a significant aid so it is listed as being completed with 'multiple sessions' for the purpose of the best time/average rating displays above.
Minor aid is defined as no more than one use of 'Check solution' when incomplete and/or no more than one use of 'Check solution' when wrong; and/or using highlighting aids (show repeated digits, show broken inequalities and show valid/invalid placements [slitherlink] only). Major aid is any and all other use of the solving aids except for 'show wrong'.
