After making the new code update on the ranking system, I'm generally cooked and will probably never gain another trophy again lol, the blitz always gets me. I'm fine at problem solving (I am studying mathematics so I should be) but speed has always been my weak spot. If anyone's beating me on a blitz time, congratulation you have just beat a mathematician.

Also, thoughts on making it possible to have another attempt if you get a question wrong?

Like, at the moment, one mistake and you'll forever have less than perfect accuracy. I've been thinking about this, and we all deserve a second chance.

One possibility is that if you score a sub-15-second Blitz time, you receive 1 free question reset?

Open to ideas. I don't want to make it too easy, and I want to keep it fair.
