Also just to add round 8 had to be redone because Julian lost connection, but I was hoping to wow him with my 8 from E I I X P T R M O

Re: COGST game 11 - Fell vs Humphreys
Cheers for writing the recap Dinos - yes that was much better, I had a bit of a point to prove maybe and it was good to get the horror show against Steve Briers out of my system.
Jerry, as mentioned, played this game in the pub - what an absolute legend; one day I want to emulate this feat. Of note also is that due to a time lag on Jerry's system, my answer to the conundrum appeared on his screen before the scrambled version did
For the record - although Dinos has all the declarations and solutions etc. the right way round, I was actually contestant 2 in this game (i.e. I had the two numbers choices, not Jerry). So it was technically Humphreys vs Fell.
