Ta, missed the max by 1, 3 days running - absolutely gutting lol.

Usually wouldn't expect to see EMPORIUM but after EMPORIA yesterday, was a bit easier.

Re: Spoilers for Tuesday May 28th 2013 (Series 68 Prelim 49)

I've got this one to hand as well - bear in mind I let someone pick who I'm playing for me, if it's 2 newbies - and my little brother picked "the one in red" - so that's who the scoring is based on. http://24.media.tumblr.com/d12e958aa122dc8a7e067ee159d22e7d/tumblr_mnkujwmPvF1rp2s00o1_500....

Re: Calculating one's own score

I always play the champ. If it's 2 newbies I get someone to pick the one they think looks smarter. I used to do that, but when you get series like S67 where there were 7 octochamps, playing the same people for 56 episodes does become slightly more boring than it used to. I like variety.
