Spoilers for Wednesday March 20th 2013 (Series 68 Prelim 9)
...yeah, we'll just pretend I didn't call the last prelim number 12. Moving onward and forward, Andy Platt got a very impressive score of 114 yesterday. Can he continue this standard with another win today?

Looking forward to the excuses for every non-maxed round.

Excellent play from Andy again. Well done!
Can someone provide me with the numbers selection and target for the 2nd numbers round please? I flicked channels when Origins of Words came on and didn't switch over in time!

Cheers, I got fewer maxes than yesterday but it was a harder game I think. Still no takers on the missed max in round 1??
Round 10 was 25 10 4 1 4 5 @651

I've had a sneaky look at it using the apterous solver but I'll let someone else take the credit. All I can say is, bad miss!Andy Platt wrote:Cheers, I got fewer maxes than yesterday but it was a harder game I think. Still no takers on the missed max in round 1??

Re: Spoilers for Wednesday March 20th 2013 (Series 68 Prelim
I did not even see Samurai because I fixated on Marussia since I am a fan of F1. Obviously I knew that would not be in, but even if I had seen Samurai I would have either ruled it our as capitalised, or tried adding an S to it!
Very well played Andy. I loved the gasps from the audience when you declared a 9.
For the GRAPEVINE round you said "Safe 7" were you thinking grape-vine might be hymenated or did you just have a dodgy 8?
I was surprised that John got the conundrum first, and wonder whether he would have been pleased or actually sad not to have achieved a top 5 lowest ever score? As it is he'll still get a listing on the Wiki.
If Andy had got Grapevine and the conundrum I think that would have been 133 - pretty awesome really. Dunno what the max was?

Re: Spoilers for Wednesday March 20th 2013 (Series 68 Prelim
Cheers man - SAMURAIS was one I considered but I thought maybe I remembered it being invalid from practice. In the GRAPEVINE round it was REPAVING that I considered - also invalid, glad I made that decision as it sounds very plausible. Nowhere near GRAPEVINE sadly! Too good from Damian & Susie & co.Grant Waters wrote:I did not even see Samurai because I fixated on Marussia since I am a fan of F1.

John was a good guy - I liked him, he came out with me, Phil, and Chris (Marshall) afterwards, and I was happy for him to get the conundrum and the audience were too. I was transfixed on the LY or INGLY suffix whereas he was going after -ING, so fair play to him. Also during the round 4 to round 5 board transition, he also said he considered and dismissed QUEENIEST too, which is a shame.
There were 146 points available if I maxed the game

How come I got 149 as the max thenAndy Platt wrote:There were 146 points available if I maxed the game
Nice work again, AP. You also made a semi-record by becoming only the 2nd player after Graeme Cole to win a match at round 10.
P.S. It's Tom Hargreaves with the recap today, as I'm busy packing for my hols.Jordan F wrote:Join James for the recap later.
See you all at CO:REA, if you're heading there on the 30th.

Mark was talking about my post in the Tuesday thread - in fairness it did sound like I was somehow making excuses for the stuff I missed, but I only thought it was natural - I was quite disappointed with some of the rounds I've played! Oh well. Nobody's perfect (except Conor)Matt Morrison wrote:Which round was this comment?
