I think you need to take a break from the forum. Really not cool.

I think this is a bit of an overreaction.

It would certainly do him good.

It still doesn't sit very well with me as a comment, even if I possibly judged it a bit severely in my half-awake state.

The question on squares of 4 chips from 4*3 chips had a couple of unsuccessful arguments; the answer was 6. Some argued you could make 2 3*3 squares, but that would make 2 squares of 9 chips (8 on the perimeter and 1 in the middle, read the question!). Others argued you could make two squares rotated 45 degrees, but that would also leave a chip in the middle, leaving a + or x of 5 chips. The question clearly stipulated squares of 4 chips.

I think the 1% Club has too many questions where 30 seconds isn't enough time.

I disagree. The jackpot winners prove otherwise. It’s good practice to try to solve them all without pausing the TV.

I get more fun pausing , just like I do at the Countdown conundrum.
I usually only pause as the time runs out as I like to try and solve in real time but prefer to solve rather than get told
