Sounds great, I'm in.

Innis Carson

Some chips

Innis Carson

Getting to London seems easier than I expected (guess that makes sense) so yeah I would be interested in this as well.

Innis Carson

There was a repeat on on Thursday it seems, but yeah definitely no Lesley Hines.

Innis Carson

At last.

Innis Carson

Happy birthday Ralph!

Innis Carson

lol. Nice thought experiment except for one crucial element, namely the implication that every aspect of our conscious being is stored physically in our brain cells. If that were the case, our personalities and traits would be subject to continual change as random brain cells die in their hundreds ...

Innis Carson

What a game, was actually trembling watching that. Really well done Oliver for a great display of skill as well as nerve, and congrats on a well-earned octochampdom!

Innis Carson

Happy 21st Dinos!

Innis Carson

Going to take someone like me quite a long time I think, but yeah it should be attainable for any fluent speaker of French. Nines are relatively common and often pretty systematic (verbs with -ERAIS, -ERAS, -ERONS etc.) and you only need one.

Innis Carson

Never even heard of ZETETIC, great stuff. Very well played again Oliver, Andy was pretty good as well.

Innis Carson

Well played Oliver! That was a really tough opponent to have your debut against, but you coped with it well and the conundrum was excellent. Hope Jan makes it back for the finals, but for now best of luck with the rest of your run.

Innis Carson

Seeing Andrew's answer gave me an idea and I think I've got this time: 118. The highest (I think) that you can get with just the 15 reds+colours is 100, but that gets you stuck on 105. Working down from there, 91 was the highest score you could go on to clear the table with, giving you 118. There de...

Innis Carson

I ended up with 105 after a few stabs in the dark, and can't seem to beat it. Don't have any proper justification for it though, could still easily not be optimal.

Innis Carson

Don't know if I understand it right, but how are insane fluctuations like those on Chris's conundrums graph even possible? I'm sure I've had days where I've answered no conundrums right at all, and other people probably have too, but seemingly even that isn't enough to cause the radical dips that ar...

Innis Carson

Puzzle 5 attempt:

I can get up to 164 by doing 0/ X 1/ 3/ 4/ 5/ 6/ 7/ 8/ 9/2. The first ball, and the first ball thrown after the strike, don't count towards the score so you might as well stick 0 and 1 there. Don't think the rest of the order matters.

Innis Carson

Cheers for bringing that game up, saves me the hassle.

Innis Carson

Cheers everyone, I absolutely couldn't have gone out in a better way. The tension throughout this whole game was unreal, I was an absolute nervous wreck towards the end, so can barely imagine what it must have be like for Chris! But he overcame it to nail two very tough rounds at the crucial moment,...

Innis Carson

Speed Demon:

Kirk 48-59 Innis
Kirk 54-66 Innis

Two highly close games, us never being separated by more than 6 points before either of the crucial conundrums, in which Kirk was a fraction of a second behind me on both occasions. Unlucky mate, well played.

Innis Carson

Wasn't going to lose any sleep over it but our declarations of DOOR and ROAD are the wrong way round. Nice work otherwise.

Did you play in the first phase?

Ah yeah that's what it is, didn't read that bit. Cheers and never mind.

Innis Carson

In the Speed Demon results I'm down as having won against James Hurrell but we haven't played yet, is there a reason for that or just mistake?

Innis Carson

What did strike me was when I checked other people's answers (4 people had taken it so far), 1 person got the following name: X How the heck did they get that (and spell it correctly!?). I wonder if he took the quiz (or cheated)! Haha, that was me. I wasn't cheating, I only remembered the surname r...

Innis Carson

it was well known that 1 large is so much easier for a human to solve (in 30 seconds at least) I've heard this quite a few times, but I don't personally feel that to be the case and the apterous Statland stats don't agree with it either (in my case at least). Success rates from the "top player...

Close stuff throughout, Oliver's excellent spot of NANOMETRE led him to victory in the second game, but I narrowly won the decider.

Speed Demon Pool B: Lesley Hines 23-66 Innis Carson Lesley Hines 26-43 Innis Carson Second game in particular was a very tight game, with some slips from both of us and an inevitable crucial conundrum which proved oddly tricky in the moment.

Innis Carson

Omelette's a weird one as it contains probably both the easiest rounds of any variant (three letter selections that spell out a word) and the hardest of any variant (where you need to spot some ridiculously obscure 10+ word or you can't get any points), so I would think how hard it is depends largel...

Innis Carson

Speed Demon, Group B:

Nick Wainwright 57-63 Innis Carson
Nick Wainwright 47-55 Innis Cason

Two good contests, including two nines from Nick in the first game. I had to come back from behind in both cases, narrowly winning on the conundrum each time. Well played Nick, could have gone either way.

Innis Carson

Would agree with that being one of the defining moments of the whole finals, the tension in the whole studio was absolutely incredible. If I thought I was feeling pressure at that point, I shudder to think what it must have been like for Chris! But yet he pulled it off at the crucial moment, and I t...

Speed Demon:

Oliver 40-71 Innis

Innis Carson

It was certainly pretty low this series (78?) but I think the presence of Kai might have made Series 59's one slightly lower. Not sure though.

Innis Carson

Ah yeah, I think that was the Hulme/Taylor semi-final AIRCREWS came up in as Chris and I were watching that one from the side.

And actually I didn't get ALLOTROPE before Chris even from the audience, so especially well done to him.

Carson 112-78 Makepeace

Two good games here, there was never very much separating us throughout them both.

Happy birthday Kai and Ben!

I know this general issue has already been brought up, but the last star on Riddler's Route has disappeared for me. Can it be added back easily?

Speed Demon games against James Hurrell:

Innis 66-38 James

Innis Carson

YES

It only cost me around 840 rating points, but I finally got that.... one sun credit. Let this be a warning.

Innis Carson

I have no idea how this happened, but:

Innis Carson

Put me down for both please.

Innis Carson

Division A:

Innis 137 - 129 Nick

A decent game, Nick made a few slips at the beginning but was close to pulling it back towards the end with good 6 small play. Could have very easily gone the other way I think. Cheers Nick, and cheers Charlie as well for running the tournament.

Innis Carson

It's very simple to set up a new MSN ID, I think that would be the easiest option.

Innis Carson

Brilliant. Read his one instead.

Innis Carson

Innis 151 - 147 Dinos

Yet another extremely close game, the lead was changing hands constantly throughout it and I was behind going into the last round, but just snuck ahead thanks to an awkward final game (who picks 1 large anyway?). Really good game Dinos, well played.

Innis Carson

Have to second Fantasticcontraption, it takes ages to complete all the levels and it's also fun to just mess about with.

Innis Carson

Really good game Oliver, could well be one of the best of the tournament so far. Sorry again about the cut-out in one of the early rounds, that probably didn't help your focus much. Unlucky, and very well played.

Innis Carson

That's odd Jason, it works fine for me.

Innis Carson

Very narrowly took the Touchdown 15 record, I'm sure this is still beatable.

http://apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=125756

EDIT: Also the highest joint score by some way.

Innis Carson

Me 174-171 Kai

Really tense game here, I (once again) just pipped him by a few points. If I remember right, he misclicked one of the earlier rounds which sadly seems to have cost him the game. Unlucky mate.

Innis Carson

This just shouldn't have happened.

Ah yeah, ARTICULAR was brilliant. Have to admit I nicked it off you here, hope you don't mind.

Innis Carson

Annoyingly very few journeys seem to have that option, and they're not much use.

Innis Carson

Sad to say that I probably can't make it after all, haven't yet got this rail card thing I was supposed to get with my bank account, so it's going to cost way than I can afford. Sorry guys, hope it goes well.

Innis Carson

Me vs. Jimmy

I got pretty lucky with this one.

Innis Carson

What a game: http://apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=120129 Had to pull off two comebacks after lovely nine spots by Kai, but ultimately I scraped through by just 2 points! I have a feeling he'll be kicking himself a bit though, I'm sure there was nothing I beat him with that he couldn't have spotted ...

Innis Carson

I'm sure it's been default for way more than 4 months, 9 I would say. Not that that really affects your point.

Anyway I stuck with AeroGreen because I like the colour.

Innis Carson

Colinearity is just in the dictionary by itself as a noun, "colinear" isn't listed. It's something to do with DNA apparently. There's collinear/collinearity but that's unrelated.

Innis Carson

I'm terrible at these but I'll have a go.
