(4!-4+sqrt(4))/.4 = 55
4!+4!+4+4 = 56
(4!-sqrt(4))/.4 + sqrt(4) = 57
(4!+4)*sqrt(4)+sqrt(4) = 58
(4!/.4)-(4/4) = 59
(4!+4)*sqrt(4)+4 = 60
(4!/.4)+(4/4) = 61
(4!/.4)+4-sqrt(4) = 62
(4!+sqrt(4))/sqrt(4)-sqrt(4) = 63
(4+4)*(4+4) = 64

37 and 39 without the subfactorial:
4!+(4!+sqrt 4)/sqrt 4 = 37
44-(sqrt(4)/.4) = 39

You can do 33 without recurring decimals:
4!+4+(sqrt(4)/.4)

So we're not allowed the gamma function?
When I was set this at secondary school we were allowed:
Bidmas, factorial, decimal point.
I see we've taken indices out of the equation too. I'm going to do my best at being a purist and stick to just those.

I've just found two more games that are also different, so we now have (at least) four different games being scored under the same duel. They do seem to share some rounds though. http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=72520 http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=72189 Any idea what's going on ...

Reading through the Duel results for yesterday, I found these two games (which I noticed from the max markings in the full results table): http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=72188 http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=72403 They have different rounds in the second half of the game. Obviou...

Stick me in the U1000 (if I'm still eligible - ever hopeful I can increase my rating a bit!)
(If I'm not eligible, then the U1200. If I'm not eligible for that then some other, better, player has hacked my account and played for me.)

An exciting finish against Niall in our Goatdown game

4) Anyone for a game?

One a piece between me and Andrew:

I squeaked past Niall:

My games agains Ian: http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=69246 http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=69235 The 15-rounder was a particularly good match and I felt lucky to win it. Just a thought - could there be a bonus point for getting a century in a game? A bit like points earned by rug...

I'd definitely be up for a league, I think it would be a good challenge. Players who didn't play in one season could be dropped to the entry league the season after (if they don't play at all it seems likely that they won't start again next season anyway). Promotions, Relegations, and Playoffs could...

How about (total score on all duels taken)/(sum of maximum scores on all duels taken) ?

NB By "score" I mean the duel points rather than the score in the actual game.

Look at the conundrum times on this one...

I'd like to see XYLOGRAPH.

Just because it's an impressive looking set of letters.

A slightly more serious answer. Well, question.

What do the different types of scoring mean?

Come to think of it I actually never found out the answer to that question.

What do the different types of scoring mean?

2.30

But that did include a score of 11.4 on the first triangle. Oops.

I'm inclined to agree with Ronnie - I think it'll be another year for John Higgins.

I had a brainwave earlier tonight and I think I've finally worked that one out!

Consider yourself challenged.

Hello all

I've watched the game for years - thinking of applying... one day.

Thought I was pretty good until I watched my housemate (aka The Zussinator) play.
