Welcome to the climax of what has been a remarkable series. Patrick Thompson and Charlie Harrison enter this Grand Final with 10 solved conundrums out of 10 (for the first time ever) in Series 93 inclusive and they've each notched up over 1,200 points as well. Let battle commence.

I didn’t know Patrick was good at snooker!

Some friendly selections, but you still have to solve them. It was undoubtedly a peak Grand Final, but Patrick’s peak edged Charlie’s. The conundrum was spot on too. Patrick’s tribute at the end summed up his win.

REDOUNDS in particular was excellent.

CoC confirmed for next year by Colin.

Will be interesting to see if next series’ Grand Finalists will be invited to that CoC or not.

Great final! Commiserations to Charlie, who was near flawless. Looking forward to the CoC already, where my money will firmly be on Patrick!

Man, I can't believe what I watched was not a dream. This was the epic finale that we wanted to end off with, and it did not disappoint. My commentary is going to be full of stuff at this rate and I'll get it up on Sunday!

Not that I think it was a Hansford, but there was a dramatic pause before Patrick gave his conundrum answer.

How old is Patrick by the way? And Luke Selway while we're at it.

To answer imprecisely, Patrick played in last year's 40+ tournament on Apterous and Luke played in this year's edition.
