I saw that. But edlin303 implies in his post that that is not "it". So I wanted to know what "it" is then, if what is posted above is not the correct cut-off time.

That hasn't been my experience. I always do Flexicon, and when it says I've done all the puzzles, I just go to another game for a few times, then come back to Flexicon. It gives me the last puzzle I did (which I didn't get points on because the message comes right after you've solved it), I solve it, then go on with Flexicon. Is there some other limit that I've never reached?

I mean, that is not why my daily points limit varies. Within one "day" by MSN's terms, I have had the "you've reached your daily limit" error at different amounts, from 1000 to 1800+ on one good day.

It's supposed to be ~1000, but it seems to vary.

Yes, I have gotten around it all the time. I just back out and reload Live.com and I am able to bypass it and play Flexicon again. I wasn't sure what you meant, but now I see what you mean.

I have found it doesn't play well with firefox but I guess being a MS site that makes sense.
I haven't reached any daily limits though

I guess that would depend on how long you've been willing to play in a day. How many tickets would you estimate you've won in a day before calling it quits? I agree with the 1,000 or so being the threshold, but there is a loophole.

I've definitely done more than 1000 in a day and never gotten a daily ticket limit message. But as I mentioned earlier, I do get the Flexicon limit, but just go to another game for a few point, then come back. Maybe that's resetting the daily limit thing, or maybe it's all just screwy.

As long as I can play until I get sick of it, I guess it doesn't matter.

I paid attention today. I played Flexicon and got the no more puzzles message at 600 tickets, played other games for 50 tickets then went back to Flexicon and racked up 675 more points without getting any more messages. I'm just starting up again for a bit, and I'll see how much further I get.

Double points day is only 12 hours. Midnight to Noon Pacific. And the double points post later.

Is it just me, or is the site a lot slower than usual?

I tried to log in this morning with no success. Darn, this has become my little morning ritual with my coffee and breakfast.
