Well done indeed to Craig. As if it isn't high enough as it is, his spread actually becomes +680 when you factor in the mistype in the last game scores.

Innis Carson

So would I.

A fantastic Speedgoat game with Chris managing 6 nines. Pity about the awkward numbers game and conundrum, this could have been record-breaking.

There are always helpful people on here who will come to the rescue and help, or advise, or even rewrite your posts for you. I have experienced it myself. So kind of them to correct ones work. It can seriously make a person nervous about posting in case we fall short of the mark that others have se...

Innis Carson

Just had 2.67, including one 0.0 on a convergence one. Also managed 612.93 on a slightly less serious attempt.

Innis Carson

Shame George didn't settle in until about half-way through the game, he seemed to be pretty good. He could well have won if it weren't for a couple of blanks, which I'm guessing were nerves.

ALLIANCE?

R3 - ALLIANCE
R4 - OESTRIOL

Green eggs are what Julie said I think, certainly for getting conundrums very near the end of the time limit. Everything else there is right.

Innis Carson

Didn't think I'd be bragging again quite so soon...

Second new personal best in one day. Chris did well here too, making this one of the highest joint scores to date as well.

Innis Carson

Personal best by miles. Missed the conundrum, but I wouldn't have got that if my life depended on it anyway.

Innis Carson

Gah! Spent so much time wondering what triggers the yellow egg, and then I get one by accident. Came at the end of this game:

http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=46588

Still no clue what it's for. Ah well, at least this means I've completed the set.

EDIT: Worked it out.

Innis Carson

Anyone worked out the yellow egg yet? It's driving me insane.

Absolutely tanked the record, well played.

Innis Carson

Was there such a rule? Even after my third attempt, the letter I got still essentially said "You weren't far off, feel free to try again". Might have been an oversight I suppose.

Thanks.

Auditioned 3 times a few years ago when I was useless, you'll do a lot better.

Innis Carson

It's really informal, there's generally only a few other people and you all sit round a table. They read the selections out loud, so you have to make sure you copy them down right. (Not exactly hard, though I failed at this more times than I'd like to admit)

Innis Carson

It seems I have the most appearances on that list, with three. Not sure what to make of that.

TOOLBARS?

Nobody else let that get in their way.

Match, you idiot.

Innis Carson

That's just missing data I think, he actually got 7 out of 8 conundrums.

Innis Carson

I'd be surprised if you're allowed to do that. Though I tried it anyway, and funnily enough also got 477.

Innis Carson

Took me ages to find any set at all that fits the bill, and the one I've got now has a sum of 2430. I think this might be beatable.

Innis Carson

Wow, cheers Jimmy! Pretty much word-for-word what I'd have said about you, it's always been a pleasure to play you in all of the five million or so times we've played. And you've definitely become brilliant over time, so many of the games you have now are insane, and I'd be absolutely killed if I wa...

Innis Carson

I was getting really anxious in the last few rounds when it was obvious how close it was going to be, particularly in that last numbers which I couldn't solve. To actually pull it off under all that pressure is stunning. Massive congrats Kirk!

Done.

If I'm working this out right, Kirk's on 91.4% of max score so far for his run. Not far off getting yet another record.

Two consecutive days, I make the same mistake on the same conundrum. Against the same person.

Innis Carson

Thought that was just applying to "challengers" as in people who are playing their first game in the preliminary stages of (any given) series. Is the chair nearer the host still called the "challenger's chair" in finals and CoCs? If not, I'm talking rubbish.

Innis Carson

Kirk Bevin broke the record for a contestant in the challenger’s chair

Erk. At least they tried though. Or is that actually true (counting finals and CoCs)?

((25x4)-7)x5-(9/9)

Innis Carson

If I'm calculating correctly, Kirk is on track for beating Craig's percentage octochamp max (he's currently on 92.4% I think, with 92.1% to beat), which would swing it towards him pretty significantly if it happened. That said though, I like Craig's style.

Innis Carson

Wow, just watched it there and it's sinking in just how epic an event that was. It's the understatement of the century, but congrats Kirk!

Innis Carson

Great! I'll say 9pm and try and make sure I'm there for then.

Innis Carson

I don't think I'm busy at all on Friday, is that good for you Gary?

The question's pretty much been answered as much as it can be, apparently there were guest-presented episodes scheduled, but they were scrapped before recording.

Innis Carson

There's PORBEAGLE though. Obviously.

Innis Carson

A conundrum with two possible answers????

I think this topic is about to take a turn for the worse.

Innis Carson

No GROPEABLE, nice one with ENERGETIC though.

Innis Carson

I think it probably is, yeah, but try to quickly get a safe 7 or something in case you don't see the deliberate 8/9 max. By the way, you got 2 out of 4 maxes, better than anyone at the audition did.

Innis Carson

I can just about remember some of the letters rounds from some of my old auditions.

Me and Kai have played, he won 132-112.

Challenger (Simon, wasn't it?) seems like a great guy, really fun game to watch and he took that frighteningly narrow defeat very well. Well played again Neil though.

Innis Carson

I think he's talking about Battle of the Brains.

Innis Carson

Great game, very well played Neil. And well played Anita too, a performance like that could easily have been a winning one against a different opponent. That'll go on the CDB "Highest Joint Score" list, surely.
