why was 'fun' added, to the time trial?

[santa c]

i think, that some, if not most, of the problems, in this, group, aren't fitting, for the test... why was it added there?

i agree. unfortunately, it wasn't so much that it was added as that the new system of groups without subgenres turned it on by default, and i haven't figured out a good way to turn it off. i'm working on it, though...

thanks,

okay, it should be fixed now. i've excluded Fun, Instruction Required, and Giant. any others you think i should skip for time trial?

ladders?

we definitely want to skip the big ladders that cover the whole board type things, but these should already be excluded by excluding Giant. would you also wish to exclude the small ladder problems?

well, even though, ladders, might take sometime, to think out, and then, in case, u need to play them out... it might consume sometime, but ladders, that don't keep bumping, around on giant boards(even 19x19s), under the givven, rank, could, be read, in 1 min... at least, from, my expirience..

(btw- thanks, for fixing it;)

Ok if it's just small ladders it shouldn't be a big issue.

adam - is it possible for a new flag, to be added? one, which will say, if a prob, should be included, in the time, trial?

i just think, that not all fun,ladder and instruction, requiring problems, should be excluded...

(if u'll be doing, something, like that and will need somebody, to go over, the database - i'm willing, to help)

or could it be done, that simply, problems, where the avarage solving time(as it's kept, for the difficulty level), is above minute, to be excluded? wouldn't it be the best thing? this way, ladders, and instruction requiring probs, which could be putted, in the test, would be there...

Personally I do not think all instruction required problems should be excluded from the time trial. E.g. unkx80 recenty submitted a concise series of corner problems that, in my opinion, should be included.
