Re: Aptobash II: Live News
I still had great fun tonight, even if it seemed awful from your side of it I'm still glad this took place tonight and utterly appreciate the unseen effort that went into it. The fact that a couple of games fewer than planned took place barely detracts from it at all.

Only way I can think of that the first trick could be done would be if Rachel got handed a different piece of paper than the one the numbers were written on.
And didn't Nick only declare PIPE or something in R13?

My uneducated guess would be that this was set deliberately as it creates the illusion of the numbers cycling about "randomly". If it really was random, you'd get the same number occurring more than once in a row and making it look jerky instead of smooth. And the middle one is one digit a...
