The race
Play a day you missed for a score that sticks, or replay one you didn’t.
The clock stopped when you left.
0:00
Every game on Noggin is marked out of 100, so a day adds up to one number. Here is how this one earns it.
| Component | Effect |
|---|---|
| Solved on the first check | 90 |
| Solved on the second | 80 |
| Solved on the third | 70 |
| Finished in under 7 minutes | +10 |
| Took more than 12 minutes | −10 |
| Each hint taken | −8 |
| Out of checks | Up to 25, for the cells you had right |
A perfect Deduce — first check, no hints, inside seven minutes — is exactly 100. A careful eleven-minute solve is 90.
The clock only counts when you solve it. There is no reward for failing quickly, and a slowness penalty on top of a failure would be unkind.
The clock stops while you are reading this.
The same for every game, including streaks and how the day is totalled.
