5 wins now for Dylan Taylor, and all in impressive form. Will he get a 6th?

Join Jack for the recap later.

Not sure why Rachel laughed at 112 being the target, as small targets are notoriously difficult as proved by Leone.
I just about managed 112 with 7x10+50-10-1+3 and there is also a 56x2 way but none are too obvious.

129 is still pretty good though - I had got hantology for the conundrum and missed the correct answer too.

Feel sorry for Leone though - I actually know her, as her husband Noel is one of the top Irish Go players, so can send
commiserations.

Agree completely, I just about got it too!

AFFINE for 6 as a round beater in the UNFIX round

also AGONIES/AGONISE in the NONAGES round.

NUFFIN is nice - better than AFFINE!

P.S. had Dylan got the conundrum, would that have been the largest winning margin ever?

Yep, current winning margin record is 112. As I should know.

SUPER IMPERIOUS STUFF FROM DYLAN THERE :!: :!: :!: :shock: :shock: :shock: :o :o :o ;) :) :D :mrgreen: 8-)

ALSO SUPER BIG CONGRATS FOR BEING THE FIRST PERSON EVER TO HAVE A PERFECT PERFECT FIRST HALF (admittedly, it's much easier to do it nowadays, with there being only 3 rounds in the first half, but you still need the 2 9's first. 8-) )

Shame about ANTHOLOGY, and he was clearly looking for GASTRULAE in the last letters too, which would've been brilliant. 8-) 8-)

HOISTED in round 4, CAPOTE/TOECAP in round 8, NOVENAS in round 12 and GESTURAL in round 13.

I was hoping for an I or E for LIGATURES or REGULATES respectively, didn't see that one though. ANTHOLOGY was a tough one, I had loads of possible answers but not that one, ended up guessing ATHNOLOGY^. :lol: Dylan's had it hard with conundrums, even a couple he's got have been difficult for heats. Still impressive performances though.

Interesting that Susie mentioned NONAGES. It's not listed as a mass noun so it should be able to take an S but a while ago, one of Andy's opponents had DOTAGES^ disallowed, even though it's not a mass noun either. I would have thought that if you were unable to pluralise one, it would be the case with the other too.

Surely a matter of opinion? It's a relatively straightforward conundrum if you know the word (and a common -OLOGY ending). We used anthologies all the time at schools in English lessons.

"Your eighth game, Dylan..." Really, Nick? Are you sure?

Well played again, Dylan. Highest R3 score ever.

I noticed the DOTAGES / NONAGES anomaly too. Very frustrating.

Yeah, I think Dylan corrected him but Nick just ploughed on through! Well played again Dylan; I was very excited after the first two rounds!
Mike Brown: "Round 12: T N R S A E I G U

C1: SIGNATURE (18) ["9; not written down"]
C2: SEATING (7)
Score: 108–16 (max 113)

Another niner for Adam and yet another century. Well done, that man."
