    This is the email I received this morning:

    Thank you Gilla01 for taking part in The First Post World's Fastest Crossword number 575.
    Your time was 3.477 seconds which means you were in position 4.
    You may be interested to know that the fastest time was 3.206 seconds and the slowest was 26.923 seconds.

    The leader board at the moment says:

    Gilla01 5.159
    selrach1947 5.713
    Rozinna Dharamsi 6.476
    toni quandt 7.331
    poorboys 8.458
    Janice Patterson 15.546
    star100 24.905

    Will be interesting to see how it goes.

    Hi Gilla,
    Yesterday's leaderboard ended up with you in 2nd place with 3.477.
    My e-mail had the same winning time as yours, had my time correct but said I was 2 places lower than shown on the leaderboard. The stated winning time of 3.206 did not show on the leaderboard.
    With missing scores and no apparent prize winners it all seems a bit pointless.

    I wasn't on the leaderboard yesterday, but my e-mail that came this morning said that I came 1st with 3.206. I did today's in a fast time, but not on the board again :confused:. I don't get how their scoreboard works :confused:
    :beer:Thank you to all posters:beer:

    Working normally for me today, but I started so cautiously I'm in 7th place.

    Star 100 is second, and hammyhunter (??) first.
