Gem Cauldron doesn't really give a time penalty
Forum-Index → Bug Reports → Confirmed Bugs → Gem Cauldron doesn't really give a time penaltyI put 33 wrong gems in there with each a 3 second penalty.
so the total penalty I got was 33 x 3 = 99 seconds and this took me 21 - 23 seconds.
After this the page refreshes, what it's supposed to do when the time runs out, but it took me back to the boiling with 96 seconds spare.
So I think it's fair to conclude that there is no working time penalty.
