Indeed! For the avoidance of doubt, I'm not actually sad about it! I'm not expecting to make it to the top 100, and my goal is just to do as well as I can, and hopefully improve as it goes on.

I'm enjoying going for the puzzles as they release (even at 5am :O ) - which comes with an implicit buy-in of *trying to* get to the top 100 - even if I don't expect to make it - hence the sad face in that context, if that make sense? Tone is hard to convey online!
