The year I did it I got lucky and solved them all within a reasonable amount of time until there was one that suddenly involved a lot of nontrivial linear algebra and I immediately spotted that this wouldn't be fun and noped out. Noticed the number of people solving dropped off a cliff on that day.
I think as nerds we need to be quite careful not to get too drawn into this kind of thing. Sometimes it's like a superpower, but other times it just pointlessly consumes your life. Kinda makes me think of gambling addiction: "when the fun stops, you stop".
You can also set a time rule. For me it's 45min, if it takes longer to solve it, I an allowed to quit.
It's totally worth it, though, especially for the first week, when you look up how other people solved the thing you just solved. I always learned (or re-learned) something from that. IMHO there's not that much value in looking up solutions before you solved it yourself, though.
