Or you could have 99 or 101 rounds.Martin Gardner wrote:I fancy trying another 100-rounder tomorrow against Caesar (Apterous, not Julius) but this time with two conundrums - rounds 50 and 100. Otherwise one contestant chooses 50 rounds and the other 49.
It's fine with me. I played my 500-rounder over the course of a day with a couple of restarts. I wasn't really intending to start a competition for longest game though, it gets pretty boring after a while.jimbentley wrote:Presumably it's possible to adjourn and resume these ultra-long games, as with normal games? If so, I'd've thought that someone would have set up a several-thousand round game and played it over the course of a few days by now. Or is this sort of thing verboten?
It's a nice feature, but say the selection was something like: H E P L A K N O S - you could type PLANK and HOSE into the box and then thats all 9 letters, no longer unhidden.Kirk Bevins wrote:That new "blind" variant is well hard. Obviously it doesn't stop you cheating by writing them down but if you're playing alone and testing yourself, then it's a right hard custom. Nice addition though.
Most selections are rather harder to remember, too. But sure, if you want to cheat then it's not hard.Joseph Bolas wrote:It's a nice feature, but say the selection was something like: H E P L A K N O S - you could type PLANK and HOSE into the box and then thats all 9 letters, no longer unhidden.
That's pretty much it. I was just merely saying, what is to stop someone from splitting the letters up into 2 or more words and then entering them in the box, so all you have to do for the rest of the round is look at those words, to see if you can come up with something longer.Gavin Chipper wrote:I thought what he might have meant was you come up with the words PLANK and HOSE and enter them (as you might do) and then for the rest of the round you've got your own words to stare at - more likely if you come up with HOSE first as you probably wouldn't bother if you already had PLANK.
I've not played the blind variant, so it might mean that what I'm saying is bollocks.

Not really. Literally translated it would mean "I not French". You really need some sort of verb in there, such as "je ne suis pas Français" (I am not French) or "je ne parle pas Français" (I don't speak French).Kai Laddiman wrote:Does the title mean anything?
