It looks like the change of format has proven to be a success in terms of participation, so congrats on that Hive account@ksolymosi. We're definitely seeing several folks rise to the challenge and show their brainpower. Hive account@saya03 was fairly consistent throughout the month and with the help of some awesome luck, accumulated the points to prove it. Hive account@poyim was also consistent, even if they didn't get the wins and big points.

I think Hive account@im4g1n4t10n will be the one to watch in May. He hasn't been on Steemit very long but has proven he has the skills, the brainpower, and the speed. And he has one particular massive advantage over the rest of the field -- he lives in the same time zone as Hive account@ksolymosi. Which means a near 100% chance that whenever a puzzle goes up, he will be awake.

No one stays at the top forever. The clock is always ticking; it could very well be that my time is up, and Hive account@im4g1n4t10n's time is now.
