I’m going to keep banging this drum among, I hope, a sympathetic audience: the update to the way they visualize your statistics in the app is a step backward. The point was always to be able to compare your current time with your average and best times that day—not your relative times throughout the week. Now you have to toggle through the tabs and remember your average time to compare it to your current time. And the length of the bars is now your time that week in relation to the other days that week, which is not a meaningful comparison. It’s your time that day of the week compared to your solves on that day in other weeks. It looks better now, but the delivery of meaningful information is much worse.
@Liz B I’m still stumped on the kind of sitting in 57D. I got the answer, but I can’t come up with a satisfying explanation. Care to enlighten? Update: As soon as I sent this, I got it! Reminds me of the Shel Silverstein poem: Mrs. McTwitter was the baby-sitter I think she’s a little bit crazy. She thinks a baby-sitter’s supposed To sit upon the baby. 😄
“Splooting” made my day. Turns out my dog “sploots” on the deck when the sun is out. (Which it hasn’t been for weeks in the Bay Area.) Still annoyed about the stats redesign, though. 😩

@Convoid-04 Yes, exactly—in relation to how we did that day! One of the gratifying parts of viewing your stats in the old format was to see that average creeping down as you consistently beat it week by week.
