Priscilla Munday is continuing to win, racking up 5 so far. A 6th could put her close to the number 1 seed. Can she do it?

The computer agrees with Rachel that 998 is impossible.

Hurrah for the 3 large T selection but boo to the three small ones there. I managed 546 but 531 is actually the nearest.

It's going to be a low max score if no nines turn up.

Weird discrepancy between how easy the numbers were yesterday and how hard they are today.

3 impossible numbers rounds. Blimey. Has that ever happened before?

I managed 517 but 514 is best. I did have a 3L the other day that you couldn't get within 10 even, so it could be worse.

I don't know, but bearing in mind that they haven't gone for 6 small or 4 large it's even more remarkable.Bradley Cates wrote:3 impossible numbers rounds. Blimey. Has that ever happened before?
Overall, aren't about 94% of games solvable? Gut feel says that means it probably has happened before, but obviously not very often.

Imperfect max game for me. Had 517 instead of 514 on R9, but in terms of points, a max game

Until today, no game has had more than two numbers rounds where it was impossible to get 10 points.Bradley Cates wrote:3 impossible numbers rounds. Blimey. Has that ever happened before?

Same for me, except I got 512 in R9, as I did (1 + 1) x 8 x 8 x 4.Zarte Siempre wrote:Imperfect max game for me. Had 517 instead of 514 on R9, but in terms of points, a max game
PASEOS in round 12, which I learnt off Kirky on Sunday at The Hangover.

I thought it was well established that Rachel gets told if a game is impossible. What she never gets fed is solutions to solvable games.

One or both of Tony and I was trying to be a bit subtle here. The computer didn't agree with Rachel pronouncing that 998 was impossible. Rachel may have thought it was impossible, but it was the computer alone that established it definitely.
