I think Eoin, and here some stats to back me up.Rhys Benjamin wrote:Now... who's your money on?

That's a good point, I have spent it. Were it not for the fact I use Ladbrokes as a bank, then I'd be screwed. I wish our uni network didn't block Apterous; I wouldn't go out nearly as much then! I'd also be a lot better at the game and wouldn't be as worried about my appearance on the show.Ryan Taylor wrote:You mean you haven't spent the first lot already?

Excellent! My uni blocks apterous too which I suppose is sort of a good thing. The casino proved a useful source of free money for about 2 monhs before things took a turn for the worse. Still, I'm not in as much financial difficulty as Meakin.Dan McColm wrote:That's a good point, I have spent it. Were it not for the fact I use Ladbrokes as a bank, then I'd be screwed.

Swish performance from Eoin, he's my favourite to win the series now.
Bloody Hell! I even checked it on Lexplorer before posting to make sure I had it right way round,and I still end up putting in the wrong spelling.Jojo Apollo wrote:I before E for GRIEVOUS.Liam Tiernan wrote:GREIVOUS to equal VIRAGOES
Great stuff, Eoin
The first two quarters were relatively easy to call, the next two are tricky.
Or about 544.85 in old money. It's interesting that it's fairly standard these days for players to beat the best ever in the nine-round format.James Robinson wrote:Firstly, No.2 Seed Eoin Monaghan - 8 Wins, 898 Points

When did the letters distribution change? I imagine that would be a factor.Gavin Chipper wrote:Or about 544.85 in old money.

Also 0.607 conversion ratio.
I dunno about letter distributions - I think they might have been tweaked at various times. And then there's the way they've been shuffled...Liam Tiernan wrote:When did the letters distribution change? I imagine that would be a factor.Gavin Chipper wrote:Or about 544.85 in old money.

Edit: That might be an intersting exercise for some of you Stattos. Percentage maxes for various letter distributions.

I wouldn't call COMPANIED easy at all. I wouldn't have risked it and can't remember what it means.Dan McColm wrote:Niall has missed a couple of easy nines, COMPANIED and EMIGRATES (Niall had MIGRATES but didn't put the E at the front!), which would've been food and drink for Eoin.
No worries! Thanks for making it a good game to watch.Eoin Monaghan wrote:Thanks for the nice comments guys.
