Puzzlers on the Storm

THAT. IS. AWESOME. Thank you very much! (Maybe something like puzzle batles in the future...? :P)
Really Awesome stuff! I am totally in love with it.

I'm not so sure if i like the -10 sec for a miss. I guess that you should put a "pass" button somewhere, if you just have no idea, so you can get to the next one maybe?
Great stuff. I have, however, already seen a puzzle twice. I solve a lot of Lichess puzzles with my club and students.

"We have more than a million puzzles, so it should be very rare to see a puzzle more than once. The Puzzle Storm set is renewed every 6 seconds."

Not as rare as one might think.

The number of puzzles one would have to have seen to make the probability >= 50% of getting a repeat in one million puzzles can be calculated using the formula for n(d) here:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birthday_problem#The_generalized_birthday_problem

I calculated n(1000000) = 777, using the formula on that page that is known to work for d <= 10^18.
Thanks support for that! It's so amazing! Totally new idea of puzzle rush, I like it!
@#83
also about 50% of the puzzles in the "attack to f2/f7" category are Legal's mates that are very easy to solve yet somehow have 1800 rating
This is simply one of the best places on the internet. Period.
