Andy Naylor has a 4th win, can he get a 5th to further cement his spot on the leaderboard?

I can only get 972 in the 1st numbers: ((7x8)-1-1)x(9x2)
Is there a way to get closer?

Was pleased with 960 on the first numbers, but I see that one away from 968 is possible.

Didn't expect either player to get 789 there - well done to Steve.

Nice - standard 3L method didn't work there.Andy Platt wrote:(75+25-2)*3 - 50/10 in R14
Also nice the numbers games went 0L, 2L, 1L, 3L.

Re: Spoilers for Tuesday February 25th 2014 (S70 P37)
Yeah - I wonder how many games have featured four different numbers selections. Might have a look at the wiki but there's like a years worth of games to scroll through...

Last numbers alt :
(25 x 10) + ((75 + 3) / 2) = 289
(25 x 10) + ((75 + 3) / 2) = 289

A little birdie told me this game featured all 4 numbers selections: http://wiki.apterous.org/Episode_5740
Didn't scroll through all the games by myself or anything. Nope.

For 4th numbers I did:
(50x10 + 75 + 3)=578; 578/2 = 289.
(50x10 + 75 + 3)=578; 578/2 = 289.

Looks like there's only SPOLIATION and SPOLIATOR in the ODE3 - I presume SPOLIATE is CSW valid, looks like it could be bloody useful in Scrabble.

Yeah 4 large doesn't count. Haha, I obviously meant 4 different, thanks for pointing that out so graciously and with so little attention.
