Must be somehow limited, because pretty much every junior conundrum I don't solve I have heard of, and those weird obscure sevens you get in normal play never seem to come up.

I'll play lots of Junior Conundrum attacks if you want to collect some more data. It's a nice offer but at the last count we have 648,686 data for our normal conundrums and that's still not really enough. Just calculated that it would take me 173 days and 14hrs (ish) to get through a million conund...

Unfortunately we don't have anywhere near enough data.

I tried accessing apterous on my mobile and it had changed.

Hello everybody, Just wondering how you write down the data for your recap. On Monday 13 December 2010 I wrote down the data so I was sure that I would be able to cope with doing a current recap if the opportunity arose. I tried it the next day with a different method to see which was better for me....

Rachel's best numbers solution has got to be 299 from this game . Coincidentally, I added that to the nomination list myself Kai! By the way, I added at least one nomination to each category, and I am withdrawing the option to vote 'other' apart from if there is only one nomination for a category. ...

I tend to agree with you, Joseph. I just thought it was worth adding the info for general interest and posterity.

Indeed.

Best word by player: ZETETIC by Oliver, IMAMATE By Eoin. Rachel’s best outfit: I always try to leave out the Rachel comments as I find them a bit creepy, but watch out for her Dress in the final of s63. Most annoying DC guest: John Gaunt Best DC find: QUODLIBET Worst miss by player: REFINED, by me....

Suggestion: A usual series has way more entries, maybe do viscounts rather than octochamps? Probably a good idea. IT'S OFFICIAL. Well, almost official.

Joseph Krol

I've just noticed that it says something totally wrong on some games when you have finished, in the chat bit, regarding your rating. Could be showing ratings for the wrong people? Probably refernced earlier in the thread, or it could just be me. Probably one of those two.
