I don't get why Rey not submitting is even relevant to the quality of the challenge? Rey didn't participate so she was unaffected by the challenge quality.
Anyway I continue to think this unmerge was horrible for Rey and the returnees group, and not just bc of the outcome, though obviously this is an awful outcome.

Seems to me that about half of the people who attempted the puzzle identified the logic problem at its heart correctly - it’s just that only specs and Bard chose to use that information to its fullest. They all got 6/6. The rest threw.
The other half either threw and didn’t try or did not read closely and missed the heavy hints.
I appreciate that Bees is frustrated, and that there are significant other factors feeding that frustration, but this was an unfair challenge well within the bounds of fairness, if that makes sense.

Bees is walking back what they said about the challenge at least.
I think this challenge was fine. It's on the evil side and I'm not sure if I could have figured it out if I wasn't given any hints, but it's definitely doable.

Yeah there’s going to be a lot of anti-returnee momentum when they remerge. Remember when Snow/Bonobo got mad at d&d because they thought they coordinated that challenge? People are gonna come out of this with grudges even if Rey actually was just really busy or something.

personally thought this challenge seemed fun, maybe deserving of a bastard label or a hint that the rules couldn't be trusted i guess? but that's it really

And not submitting got the worst possible outcome - 0 points accrued, max time, and the mods called them out by name as having not attempted the challenge. I’m not sure how that qualifies as “no consequence.”

Or did it not? The mods suffered in that too. How long did that math challenge take in PCW?

I mean, I won immunity on my tribe by spending 4 hours on it, and then just deciding to plug every possible number in until it came up correct I think a few people managed it in reasonable time on other tribes though.

Yeah that’s probably bad design, I liked that challenge a lot too but that’s obviously way too much. This had a firm time limit so people that didn’t “get” the trick just scored zero or one and that’s fine.

Hey, really quickly.
Thank you all for this. I do feel better now, and it's nice to see that people just think this challenge wasn't bad, just tough. Although in hindsight, perhaps a little warning in the challenge would have been nice. We kind of overestimated a bit on people's abilities here heh.
