Hi All,

I'm very sorry that yet another problem has apparently cropped up. The tech members of the team have been informed and will certainly looking into the problem right away.

Thanks,

I see in our database you got movie 5235428V1 twice today:
at 17:43 we recorded a click from you at xy 141,99 which is incorrect
at 17:54 we recorded another click from you at xy 85,31 which is correct.

Do you recall getting the same calibration twice in 11 minutes?
Your experience could really help us debug what's happening here.

Thanks!

Hi, new guy here..

I've been getting, from what I've been able to see, CM's that were very similar but gave my status a negative point no matter what I chose, despite them having almost exactly the same track on them.

I've only done at about 100 (CM's included in this figure) and it says I made an error when I flag what the tutorial said was a track, and it says I made an error when I say no track on CM's where there being tracks that is pretty much a duplicate of the ones I flagged (but was told were incorrect) before.

This is highly discouraging as the scores are used to measure the precision of your observations and the score is, from what I can see, getting arbitrarily changed by this wierd bug no matter what I answer.

I just went through te tutorial and scored 10/10 on my first try but the CM's show tracks and gives me error when I say there is, and gives me error when I say there isn't.. So which is it...

Feels like getting a trick question where there is no correct answer.

The only ones I've gotten right are the ones that doesn't have any tracks on them which makes my scores look very odd.
