Probably my most schizophrenic game ever. Fantastic nines (including a fantastic pick by yours truly in round 2), surprising omissions from the ODE in rounds 4 and 12, and my keyboard going completely to pot in round 9 followed by frustration taking over in round 10 (especially seeing as 0.1 seconds afterwards, I solved the damn thing).

Re: Strange Games
yeah, i misclicked the easy second numbers. That's kind of a relief now, because ARMOIRE is one I never see. If i'd messed up a max game on the last letters, that would have hurt more.

Not so much strange games, but strange rounds (round 10 in particular)

Strange because Josh played extremely well - well above what would be expected by someone with his rating. Getting both nines was superb play from someone rated just above 1000.

Particularly rounds 5 and 6. I typed C for CONQUEROR in round 5 and realised it was RECONQUER so pressed space bar to hide my suggestion. I told Innis about my retardedness and then in the very next round out popped CONQUEROR. Amazing.
A few other conundrums I missed due to fat fingers and carelessness too.

One of the quickest ever conundrum spots in round 1. Well, actually, not true: Innis' incorrect suggestion after 0.8 seconds was shown before I could type my answer in so I have no idea how it counted it as 0.2 seconds as it was more like 1.2 seconds.

I found this game interesting because about 75% of the conundrums were very difficult which doesn't normally happen.
