I can definitely get it up to 10, there might be something like veetees or teevees in R13. Hopefully someone can fill in the gaps!

Rounds 9, 12 and 15 remain unmaxed (totally a word) in or out of time (people clearly are bad at multiples of 3 rounds). Will post a new set soon, even though it seem only 2 people are playing... :lol:
