Aaron Higgs has also improved amazingly quickly. Yes. I'm still not sure who or what exactly this 'Chris Davies' guy is, b...

Re: Official thread of scrag

I'd already declared 938 (don't know how the hell I decided upon that) and realised immediately that I could have got it exactly by subtracting the 1 before dividing by 100/50, but was just a tad too late to change my declaration. Only thought of taking that route in the last few seconds of the round.

That's almost certainly the best max game yet and, given that the vast majority of games played are 15 rounders, probably therefore the best game in Apterous history. Seriously, absolutely ridiculous. And not even any discussion about the conundrum.

Re: Apterous decency

I've always believed that it makes more sense to take the points if the opponent mistypes a conundrum. I do it, and I fully expect it to be done to me if I mistype. When this happened to me, for example, I didn't resent Jim for it at all. Seemed perfectly reasonable to me.
