Since puzzle rounds are either solvable or not, instead of the usual sliding scale of points for how well you score
the puzzle rounds will simply be worth a flat 500 points for completion, with 500 points also being awarded for
the first person to submit the correct solution, and 500*0.9 (The usual scale) in order as later people submit
the correct response. That way, since completion is all that matters, first places go to those who complete things
the fastest. So you'll have a better crack at getting the bonus if you're here right when the round goes up, but you
aren't completely screwed out of points if you happen to miss the start of the round. If this really pisses people off
then the alternative is just 1000 points if you do it, and 0 if you don't, which I really don't want to do.
As a reminder, round three, the first puzzle round, goes up at 8:00pm EST (2 hours from now)
I should get a special +200 point modifier for doing both the round and bonus while simultaneously analyzing stocks and discussing Japanese economics with a group jk but goddamnit
