Max = Metamax between Innis and I...
http://apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=45581
Should be noted my contribution was rubbish... picking two 9s that Innis got and I didn't.
Don't really how rare/easy this is really?

Well, I've actually only been trying to get a perfect conundrum attack since yesterday, but it feels like it took forever.

Perfect 5 seconds conundrum attack:
http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=46400
I think I could probably do 3 seconds if I was really lucky, but the psychological effect of having so little time is tricky.

Re: Official Thread of Brag
I had 14/14 here against Junaid, including two nines. I got the conundrum instantly and pressed P, but, oh no, I'm locked out, Junaid buzzed on 0.7 seconds. Ridiculous. I'm counting this as a moral max game as I spotted PURCHASED instantly too but it won't ever be recorded

It was a pretty strange game anyway. Round 12 was immensely amusing (to me) because I had no idea it was a word, but I thought I might as well risk it for the hell of it.
After 5 rounds we were discussing how annoyed Kirk would be if he whitewashed me on apterous, and then I beat him on the show. But neither happened/ will happen.

I guess I agree with that. As we discussed before, the idea of a "max" with conundrums is pretty much meaningless anyway.Kirk Bevins wrote:I clearly didn't, but I got it before it was revealed so had I been playing Apterous Shit I would have had a max game.

Re: Official Thread of Brag
Not my highest score, but my highest number of maxes:
http://apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=49297
The 2 letters maxes I missed were a little obscure.
I find that Waldorf often gets conundrums, so I went a bit early for a rather daft guess.
Other than that, rather better than my usual!

My highest score for a 15-rounder.
http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=49359
I saw METREAGE at the very end of round 2, only a fraction too late, so that's a tad frustrating, but I'm still happy with this game, obviously.
