Okay so first it's going to be difficult to work out how hard to try with this one. My leaning is to try and win it and hopefully we won't be good enough to win it but good enough not to come last! But hey, depends on how good you are at puzzles I guess.
It's interesting that they haven't specified the type of puzzles that it will be. And hey I guess if we are aiming to do as well as we can then probably makes more sense to put our strongest puzzle solver on the easiest puzzles because that will make the biggest difference to the total number of puzzles solved.
I would say I'm generally average to slightly better than average on most puzzle types. Are you particularly good at them?

Although on second thoughts, the easy puzzles could be quick to get through regardless, making the hard puzzles the deciding factor. Difficult to know!

I'm not the top of the pack for sure, espescially at the hard ones. A puzzle pro going full tryhard beats me by a longshot every time.
I think I am good with speed though. Espescially with mazes, I can do mazes so fast. I'm good with computer shortcuts and everything like that. So does it make sense to put me on easy puzzles because I'm confident with my speed?
Obviously I don't want to win this because I think people's alarm bells will be permanently tipped off more than they already are. Honestly looking at how badly some of the teams did in the last challenge (D12 <3), and how well some of them did (our alliance placed 1234) I think if we go at like, 90% energy we never come in last, but also don't usually win? That's hard to quantify but I think you might know what I mean
But then again we're professionals at describing images to each other, but not so much puzzle pros, so there's probably a puzzle pro out there who will win this whole challenge even if we go at maximum power level. So I think we can tryhard but not go insane tryhard.
I also can't do this tonight, tomorrow is tuesday so I should be able to get home and do it somewhere between 9pm to midnight EST?

Sounds like we won't be too OP on this one then so it's probably safe to try hard as you say.
And I'm cool with having you take the easy puzzles. I'm definitely slower than I should be with the easy ones and image uploading etc. takes me too long heh, so that sounds like it would be a good approach.
Once we decide who gets what type of puzzle (easy/hard) I checked with the mods and we won't need to do them at the same time. So go for it whenever suits you imo!

I was just about to quote that. I'll get around to it some time tomorrow night, since we can do it async anyways.
