In short: Nierby keeps amazing with her track record, taking 15 first places in the 24 days she played (94.7% of maximum score!). However, it was norcheeba who scored most, thanks to her persistence. Also, you might have noticed that nmd hasn't been playing at all, inside sources tell us he has taken a break from Sudoku until further notice. Maybe the competition got too hard?
