Re: Training Methods/Methods of improvement
I'd like to hear what Chris Davies has to say - I've never seen someone improve as quickly as he has. He's maybe the very best now when just a few months ago he was quite shit.

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.

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.

pretty weird as getting close was very easy.
