I was quicker with medium today, but slower with easy and hard.

I still donā€™t know what the cookie signifies.

You get a cookie if you solve under a ā€œset timeā€ I am not sure what those ā€œset timesā€ are though.

I did ā€œeasyā€ in 19 seconds today, and did not see a cookie. I cannot imagine being all that much faster! Where does the cookie show up? Do you have to be playing in the app?

No I donā€™t have the app. You donā€™t see the cookie until you share your score.

I have been doing easy and medium for several days now, but my times are pretty slow. Asked S if he had tried it and he sent back an impressive result with the comment that he may be dyslexic, but he could shine on a logic puzzle. One of his undergrad majors was math, so I suspected he would do well on this game. Donā€™t think he got that talent from me!

It gets easier and itā€™s working a different part of our brain (At least that is what I tell myself to justify the time spent on it).

I am a little upset with the New York Times, as I subscribe and theyā€™ve taken away several games after adding Pips. They are trying to force me into a higher subscription level. Pips #14 Hard :red_circle:

I just played Pips for the first time yesterday. One more to add to my morning coffee and puzzles routine. Ha.
