Re: Good news, Gevin!
I must say I'm intrigued. Since numbers games often give people an easy 10 points, I'm betting this change will increase people's average scores.
Assuming this is, in fact, true and not a hoax, what will we call this format (on the wiki)? The 15 Rounder Mark II?

Great stuff from both Mark and Jack. Had no idea we'd be getting a double century this soon.
Fun fact: If this game had been a 9-rounder (featuring the first 6 letters, the first 2 numbers and the conundrum), Mark would have won 66-63.
