What's your High Score?

By popular demand scoring has been completely redone in mindrival. Now, instead of just have a 40 second timer and getting as many as you can, you have 100 seconds but you the faster you answer a question the more points you get.

A lot of people complained that 40 seconds wasn't long enough, and it sucks when you run out of time before you got a chance to try your hand at every question.

So, now you get a max of 100 points for answering each question - the longer it takes you the fewer points you receive. In theory if you instantly answered every question you could get 1000 points.

After trying this out myself I found this scoring method is actually a lot more fun for another reason too: It gives you something to try to beat. Before, if you got all 10 questions right that was about as good as you could possibly get. Now, though, even if you get all 10 right you can still do better next time if you answer them faster. I'm hoping to add a "high score" for each person, and maybe even add a ranking of all players by deck. Do really well and maybe you can be the one everyone tries to beat!
