I haven't been posting scores, but I've been doing Set all week. My scores are consistently between 2:10 and 2:25 (today is 2:12) I use a very methodical approach which leaves no room for either brilliance or disaster.
By the way, Deb, you might want to wander over to the Quote Puzzler and try "The Honeycomb", which is a new game being tested you might get a kick out of.

It looks like I may have to do this on my daughter's computer. I'll try it next time I'm over there. Thanks for mentioning it.

Hi Debra. I did poorly on the Set again today, 3 minutes, 17 seconds. I don't think I'd better show my face around here tomorrow, judging by the last two or three days!

"It looks like I may have to do this on my daughter's computer. "
Really? You know, the entire QP site has been converted from Java to Flash (huge improvement!) I would have supposed that it would work for you now...

Oh, wait. I seem to have it working now. I think it was a question of refreshing my browser. Okay, I got 120 on it.
