Top Marks all round from Matt in the numbers department not too taxing this solve as he breezes his way to another 10 points
Round 15: D O M I N O E S S
Matt buzzes on 2.25 seconds to say MOODINESS which is correct.
Final Score: 130–6 (max 133)
Nothing Moody about Matt's performance today as he gets another win under his belt, you have to feel sorry for his opponent Charlie who could not get going so therefore making this game one-sided. If Matt can keep up performances up like this octochampdom is looking very likely !!
In the meantime folks bye for now
