OK, looking at recent fastest bingo results from February 23 to March 28 (http://webutil.bridg...tch.php?id=1059) - the best time is over 3 minutes; the average of the top 8 times is 3:58.

Compare that to the results from January (http://webutil.bridg...etch.php?id=955) - all eight fastest times are under 3 minutes, and the average of the top 8 times is 2:46.

What gives? Are the robots getting slower? Or is there some other explanation for what's happening here? Even if there were a significant decline in bingo play, these numbers still seem significantly off.

The robots have become self-aware. They know that the slower they play, the fewer bids they have to make and so less chance they will end up on the GiB Wall of Shame, i.e. this forum :P

Actually there was a mistake in the stats we published. Here are the correct results:

Seems the bots are not slower :) It was human error.
