Yay! Thanks, bkoep, it's behaving a lot better now :)
Could you let us know which part of the score function was changed? I've been wracking my brain trying to remember the name of score parameter that they added in a certain beta puzzle a while ago. Pretty sure it had to do with the sidechain reference scores, but am not sure.
Thanks!
The score term that changed between 801 and 801b was the 'envsmooth' score term. It is very similar to residue reference energy, but it contributes to the "Hiding" residue score in Foldit. Earlier this year we ran a few BETA puzzles with different envsmooth behavior, similar to this: http://fold.it/portal/node/994885.
The evolver criteria seems insanely high for me. I loaded up a teammates fold that has a score of 10091 points, I'm seeing "Evolver: not met 13013 points needed" in the conditions list.
I am uncomfortable with the idea of the global rankings. Being affected by a puzzle that is taken down like this. I wrote a feedback.
Puzzle 801 was posted with an incorrect score function.
You will be able to load in your manual saves from 801 into this puzzle. If you did not manually save a solution in puzzle 801, you can go back to 801, manually save it, and the solution should appear in your manual saves for this puzzle, 801b.
Here is the original puzzle:
