FWIW, the direct link is optathlon.com.
But... boooo, it requires a plugin that isn't available for Linux. Guess I can only play at home.

Said that because it said on the second try with a previous e-mail -- Sorry did not win, try again tomorrow. And then when switching to new e-mail would immediate get another 10% cert. Drew the inference of only once per day per e-mail from that -- but appears your experience is not that limiting.

I agree that they're very well made and kinda addictive games. Although, it seems they have given out the 10% off certs for the day. Didn't get one after many attempts.

Bah, why don't you just conform for once? (FYI, about half of the computers at my high school ran Linux)
Seems to be my experience too--no luck with certificates yet.
