Originally the conundrum scramble was SPAADERMAN, and while a lot of people spotted AMPERSAND, many others noticed that there was an extra A in the scramble, so Ben quickly rushed together another one........

Round 9: F E C U L T E N G

C2 buzzes on 2 seconds to say GENUFLECT which is correct.
Score: 48–65 (max 68)

I actually buzzed at about the same time, but realised that my offering of NEGLECTFUL was obviously wrong.

So, if Jono had actually got the first numbers solution in time, he'd have had a MAX game

Unfortunately, me and Jack couldn't decide who had buzzed first, so Ben gave us a 2nd one.

Tie-break conundrum: I U S E D C R A P

C1 buzzes on 2 seconds to say SUPERACID, which is correct.
Score: 68–58 (max 69)

In fairness, I thought that we both buzzed at the same time again, but Ben decided that I was just marginally ahead, so he gave me the opportunity to answer. Not the first super-tight finish I've ever had in a CO-event game, and probably not the last.

In the end, it turned out that this solve, gave Rob the title. Although, it could have been either, me or Ryan who had won the title, if we'd been half a second quicker at the conundrums in our respective games.

But, fair play to Rob, who did brilliantly to win the tournament at only his 2nd event.
