    General Discussion Thread 2020-21

    I've just gone through the set up and tried a practice question. Looks like it is 4 questions, 45 seconds to prep and 90 seconds to answer.

    Same on the invite. Nearly breaking my spacebar blowing up those balloons was worth it after all. What do you mean by weird? Do you know how many there will be, and how long we get for each?

    Same - does anyone have any good resources or practice sites to prep with? These are the Pymetrics tests. Or are these the games that you aren't meant to be able to prep for?
