I'm not happy that APOLUNES is a word as APOLUNE is a mass noun. DIORITES is also listed on Countmax yet DIORITE is a mass noun. I'm learning all these plurals and yet they still have a chance of being disallowed. Every time I learn a plural on apterous now I have to check it up in ODE2r to see if I should really memorise it. Shouldn't Countmax have just definite words in?Richard Brittain wrote:http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=11623

Re: Official Thread of Brag
Then you'd complain that you stuck with SEDATION when SEDATIONS would be allowed. We're trying to impose consistency on something which is inconsistent. You're right about APOLUNES and DIORITES though.Kirk Bevins wrote:I'm not happy that APOLUNES is a word as APOLUNE is a mass noun. DIORITES is also listed on Countmax yet DIORITE is a mass noun.

Re: Official Thread of Brag
A distinctly mediocre game from both players, with the possible exception of Round 8. I suspect this is the only time that either of the two maxes have ever been seen. I should also point out that it was Jono's pick, so quite why he selected a second K, I don't know. The cockhead.

Just played a game with Caesar. This game though is another perfect example of how the bot can miss a straightforward numbers round (Round 10) but then solve a harder numbers round, with a truly baffling solution (Round 14).

Re: Official Thread of Brag
Well done mate. Loads of numbers rounds bore me too because to solve a lot of the one large games you use the same algorithm. Trying to get a max game on a letters attack is much more interesting as you're learning new words all the time and memorising how to spot those words.Dan Vanniasingham wrote: At the 20th attempt this morning no less.

Re: Official Thread of Brag
I dunno. I don't discourage super-long games (hey I even had the record myself once) but I don't think it's anything I particularly want to reward, since it's really just a function of how much free time you have. Although I might add some award for most letters/numbers maxes in a given month, since that rewards quality as well as persistence.Kai Laddiman wrote:What about 1 for, say, the highest score in any game (if kept for a month)?

As for Rex, it's not possible, is it? The best you could is draw and go to a crucial conundrum, but then it wouldn't be a Numbers Attack anymore and wouldn't count.

Argh, don't get locked on something like that. With 6 small and such a high target like 980, the first thing to try was 140x7 and thus 20x7x7. After 1 second had elapsed and I realised 5x4 wasn't the way to go, adding them up was the other alternative that jumped out.Howard Somerset wrote:Nice one. I didn't get it in 30 secs.

Re: Official Thread of Brag
I got it eventually using factorisation. 14 x 14 x 5 works, whereas 7 x 7 x 20 didn't. I liked it, though.Kirk Bevins wrote:Argh, don't get locked on something like that. With 6 small and such a high target like 980, the first thing to try was 140x7 and thus 20x7x7. After 1 second had elapsed and I realised 5x4 wasn't the way to go, adding them up was the other alternative that jumped out.

Re: Official Thread of Brag
Not a record breaker, but this is my favourite recent speedgoat, has some nice picks and a good ebb and flow to it

Re: Official Thread of Brag
If I'd got the conundrum on this one then I'd have the record It's probably still worthy of note though because I can't recall the max being so close to the metamax between 2 humans, so good picking from Kirk and lucky picking from me...Kirk Bevins wrote:And the new speedgoat title goes to....

Re: Official Thread of Brag
Yep, that is currently the closest max/metamax, although we're missing a lot of data. The honour of worst picking goes to this game between me and Junaid.Jon Corby wrote:If I'd got the conundrum on this one then I'd have the record It's probably still worthy of note though because I can't recall the max being so close to the metamax between 2 humans, so good picking from Kirk and lucky picking from me...
Re: Official Thread of Brag
Woohoo, a bit fluky in rd 4, but perfect picking in this game:
