Just beat me to that one.

Man, that's such a pointless thing to do. If the game's over and you can't win then just let the other guy get his max. Srsly? If I were on for a max I would totally not want my opponent to not try on the conundrum, would taint it for me if they did. Each to their own, I guess. IAWTP. If I were to ...

Best conundrum attack yet, 1 or 2 I maybe should have got, but overall I'm pretty pleased with this.

I don't like moaning about certain features as I feel it depresses Charlie but I'm not a fan of this incremented timer.
