nice!! I’m sure I’ll have a jellybeans in jar puzzle at some point lol
I do think the bowl/container in today’s puzzle was deceptively big, but really I’m not trying to deceive y’all!
I was surprised they all fit in there, to be honest. I counted them and then placed them in. Maybe a view from the bottom would have helped people!
haha it does kinda look like a CAPTCHA!

Small bit of feedback: the loading screen is light, but the loaded screen is dark, causing a flash! Would be good to make them the same. Also, I had to press Ctrl+F5 to get the update banner to show at the top, I just noticed my share message was different than yours
It’s accurate within 1%, but I could add some kind of disclaimer for puzzles like this! This puzzle I only counted 20% and inferred the rest based on weight sampling, but the others I counted all of them by hand
Haha, I enjoy counting! There’s something meditative about it. And no problem, I’ve been meaning to make this game for a long time, I’m happy some people like it!
It’s new! I’ve been working on it for over a month and today’s puzzle is only the 11th so far! I love when daily games have stats so I’m trying to have some fun ones with graphs, glad you like them :D
I manually counted 20% of them, then I used a high precision scale to calculate the rest based on their weight (as well as the weight of other samples)! So the “true” answer should be very close to the given answer, like within 1%. How do you feel about me inferring the answer based on the weight of samples? I’m interested in what people think about that. This is the only puzzle I’ve done it for.

I don’t understand one of them but I got there!
A leaderboard is a fun idea, I’ll see what I can do!
Nice, the new header is much better!

I added this to The DLES a couple weeks ago, but I do have some feedback!
1. The white header bar at the top is jarring to look at since most of the page is dark. I might remove it or change it to a softer color.
2. There should be an option to mute the audio - some sort of settings would be good! There could also be an option for using the readable font there.
3. Use localStorage to remember the player's game state if they leave and come back. It seems to remember *after* I complete the game, which is good, but I went to the About page while in the middle of a game and came back and had to restart.
