Anne Robinson is… so… overly… obsessed with marital/relationship status.

Excited for people to complain when that bonus 10 points gets added to his octototal...

Congrats Adrian, well deserved and good luck in the finals!

That was an exciting game, man I thought I was watching some Finals match. Shame that someone had to lose today :( How rare to have two contestants having a century in a Preliminary! I think the last time that happened must have been ages ago now...

A very good game. HEIRLOOM was a terrific spot: so nearly unseated the daily champion.

Well done Adrian! I'd say 90% chance that your total accidentally gets recorded as 767 - possible bump in your favour in the quarter-finals!
I'm not dead yet. In a rut right now because of stress from work. I'll be back later in S89. I also plan to bring back the Mastergram - if I can find a way to run a timer or clock through pure MediaWiki without having to upload to Vimeo every time.

Maybe slightly under 90% if someone flags it up on a forum that gets frequented by the series producer.

Excellent stuff Adrian - look forward to seeing you in the finals (with or without an extra 10 points!) :D

Challenger was great - HEIRLOOM a lovely spot, and prototype a great solve under pressure. Hopefully he'll apply again when he's allowed.

I didn't even realise all these stats existed.

Trivia: it’s the first double century in a preliminary match for nearly 4 years. This was the last one: https://wiki.apterous.org/Episode_6814 (Finals and Championship of Champions notwithstanding)

AGLETTED in R1
WANTAGES in R5

Well done Adrian, and very unlucky David. I agree that HEIRLOOM was a class spot.

Ah yes, I remember this game in part because Jason Palmer used to be a Professional golfer. That was one heck of a match too! :)

Totally!
That sort of thing has been known to give a series the entirely wrong winner on the rare occasion...
