Can I hazard a guess as to what you first thought of for Round 11?

The Unlimited variant gives me an opportunity to use a word I thought would never have any use to me whatsoever.

After a few days of playing nothing but Unlimited 15, I finally got a game I was satisfied with. 12 maxes, and two opportunities to abuse REASSESSES with REPOSSESSES thrown in for good measure.

You could have also used the (25 x 50 x 75)/100 = 937.5 method. In this case, ((75 x 25 + 1) x 50) / 100

Excellent! Also, gives me a new target to go at...
However, the
records page seems to only recognise 30 second games now, so the top score listed is a paltry 140. I always thought 45 seconds was de rigeur for Hyper games?

I have mentioned this to Charlie, but no consensus has been reached yet (though obviously the 45-second games are the correct ones).

Hyper Numbers Attack record, take 2.

Hahahaha, very nice!
I'm convinced that a 100% Hyper Numbers Attack is well within both of us. My last attempt (a disappointing 164) should really have been 191 if I'd been fractionally quicker in a couple of rounds, and not accidentally declared about 3000 away on another round
It's only a matter of time, I'm sure.

Dunno whether this is a brag or a scrag. Got two nines and some obscure (by my standards) words on lightning goat, but lost my cool in the middle rounds, which stopped me from getting a killer score.

Definitely my most commanding
Duel win ever; 16 rounds, 37 entrants and only one person beat me in any round (Corby with MESOSAUR.) I would say I had a lucky run but that would be against the spirit of the thread, wouldn't it?

I hardly ever beat Prime so to do it by a 30 point margin even when he/she/it spots a bizarre 8 is quite
satisfying

I was on for a max game after eight rounds. Naturally, as I mentioned this to my dad (who didn't care), it began to fall away a bit. But still, it's
my best score yet.

Missing DILDOS is a pretty epic way to lose a max streak. Good work.

First century since I came out the dark ages, and a 10/15 max game, which is my best I think. Can't believe the maxes I missed (BAYONETS, SOLDIERS and RAINOUT, also I've been meaning to catch APERITIF for a while), most players here would have scored a perfect game with the set of letters I got.

Ok, so this is fairly mediocre by everyone else's standards but, for me, 12 maxes out of 15 must be a new personal record!

Given that none of the regulars here average higher than 10 maxes a game, there's nothing mediocre about 12!

It's happened on the show too, Brenda Jolley had FLOUR and her opponent had FOUR. I can't remember any more than that.

Me earlier today: 100, 50 , 8, 5, 3, 1 -- Target 667
50*5*8 = 2000
2000 + 1 = 2001
2001/3 = 667
Not very often you go up to 2000 when there are only two large numbers.

I think I should brag on Ben's behalf, as

Also, the colours for who picked what are back to front on goatblitz.
