According to apterous FAUXEST is allowed as a beater, and there was another one available in the SONATA round.

Unfortunately 838 doesn't divide by 9 - check by adding the digits.Peter Mabey wrote:Alt first numbers: ((4+5)x10+2)x9=838

8+3+8=19; 1+9 = 10; 1+0 = 1 therefore 838/9 leaves remainder of 1 .Tony Atkins wrote:Unfortunately 838 doesn't divide by 9 - check by adding the digits.Peter Mabey wrote:Alt first numbers: ((4+5)x10+2)x9=838

I don't think they could disallow it. It certainly wouldn't be disallowed in a CoC game, not that it should make a difference.Clive Brooker wrote:Using the established criterion of being very strange, I wouldn't be surprised if this were disallowed.Tony Atkins wrote:According to apteous FAUXEST is allowed as a beater

What do you mean by that? Why do you think there are different rules for CoC and non-CoC?Gavin Chipper wrote:I don't think they could disallow it. It certainly wouldn't be disallowed in a CoC game, not that it should make a difference.

There aren't but in the past Susie's dismissively said stuff like "I can't think of any way you'd use that word", whereas with the top players, she's more likely to think that they're right by default and then go on to understand the logic behind the declaration.Jon Corby wrote:What do you mean by that?

I'd always allow TRUER and TRUEST, so I'd also allow FALSER and FALSEST, and since FAUX means false, I'd find it difficult to disallow FAUXER and FAUXEST. Perhaps "this faux outrage is the fauxest outrage I've ever seen" sounds a bit clumsy, but IMO it's a valid usage example and therefore not one of those "I can't think of a case where you'd use it" situations.

Re: Spoilers for Monday 16 November 2015 (Series 73 Prelim 94)
Since the "very strange" pronouncement, my impression is that things like this have been allowed more often, notably the first allowance of FEINTER.
Maybe it's been realised that unless there is proper guidance on what constitutes very strange, allowing everything is the only real option. A truly ridiculous example could always be covered up with a retake, and perhaps that's more economical than spending many hours developing new guidelines which might not work very well.
I'd be very surprised if Susie didn't see FAUXEST, but equally I doubt she'd want to give an opinion on it voluntarily. It's quite surprising to see this was the first time it's ever been the only plausible 7 in a selection.
