Changing the easy, medium,hard and expert

Rafael E.Rodríguez-Llinás · Aug 23, 2014

During the last months I have noticed, that the games do not correspond to the levels they show. For example, on the daily game,a part of the trio of game is shown as easy, when actually is in the hard to expert category. In the last days I have seen the
same game which tells me to solved 17 puzzles in 4 minutes as medium and solved 17 puzzles in 3:30 minutes as easy.The divisions between medium and hard are being moved consistently, making the medium and easy games hard the some of the hard ones as expert.
Something is wrong with the programming of August selections of games

Easy, Medium and Hard

In the Daily Challenges, Who determines the extent of complexity. on the 18th of January a game of Mix and Match was listed as easy. the game was 11 out of 3:30 min.

I found this game way beyond easy. Maybe I am a little slower than a younger gamer. But that was a hard game. I keep a track of games to determine hard and easy. I try to go back to those I determine are a little bit above my skill level each month. This
one really missed the mark. My averages for all games have been within the 81%. I want to try for better but it is not going to happen without someone reviewing these.

Just saying

Thanks for the report. This was actually discussed a bit in another thread (forums.xbox.com/.../1814987.aspx) - these were accidentally mislabeled, and it
shouldn't happen again.

I am having the same issue on a Lenovo Thinkpad T410. (I can get the full run-down if needed.) I've been trying to find the key to the stats being missed, but haven't found it. My latest theory was that you have to play them in order. For example, I
started the Wild Animals collection and did a hard puzzle, it didn't count. So, the next puzzle, I played easy and then hard, and it still didn't count. The third puzzle, I did easy, medium then hard, and it still didn't count. So, I went back to puzzle
1 and 2 and did the easy/mediums I was missing. Then went to puzzle 4 and did easy, medium, hard and that one counted. I did that for puzzles 5 and 6 and both of those counted.

If my theory is correct, I could be in for some trouble on Expert b/c I would have to do 6 Wild Animal experts before 1 of them would count. As a test, I went back to the Food collection. I have easy, medium, hard done on all 22 puzzles, plus expert on
the 1st 2. I did expert on #3 and it did not count. I am really afraid to do any more until a patch comes out, b/c I could be doing 50 experts just to get 25 to count. Not to mention I have to do all the easy, medium, hard along the way.

Has anyone else come up with a theory? Or can prove/disprove mine? I hope it is disproven so I can just keep going.

I am having the same issue with Easy, Medium and Hard. I managed to unlock all the expert puzzles though. Love the game, hate it when it doesn't work right.

It look me 4 tries, at over 5 minutes each, to get it. It's solvable, but I'd call it Hard or Expert rather than Easy. You'll end up with a long string left at the bottom that solves from outside to inside.

Similarly, there as a "Match Challenge" on the 9th or 10th rated as "Expert" that was a Medium at best, if not an Easy.
