If you cut a gandiseeg in half, do you get two gandiseegs or two halves of a gandiseeg?

That was very much Ali-esque vs Foreman, taking a beating for several rounds before delivering a combination of lethal blows to leave your opponent shell shocked. Brilliant.Andrew Hulme wrote:You suck for 12 rounds, and then...

My highest 15-round score, but gutted that i blew a chance to beat Kirk's 149 - with 2 stupidly missed words.
Anyone who misses pronated after all these years must have serious mental health issues.
I wonder is Prime's 134 is the highest losing score of all time?

Bit more like it. Round 7 was galling as I'd nailed it perfectly before the server crash but bottled the replacement round, otherwise this could've been the first game where I scored higher than the supposed maximum.

OK - so the letters selections weren't particularly tricky but I was pleased with getting the last numbers as I am normally so bad at 6 small.

Re: Official Thread of Brag
Steve obvious completely missed the 111 * 8 route. Max game both players for 13 rounds, yeah incredible. Hard to think of a game better than that.
If you cut a gandiseeg in half, do you get two gandiseegs or two halves of a gandiseeg?

Letters max attack record!
Thanks to Jojo for being very encouraging when it became obvious that I was possibly headed for a record, even wishing me luck before round 20.

Was quite pleased with this effort, particularly with rounds 2 and 6 as they weren't my pick. Annoyed to miss the 9 in rd 12 though.

Re: Official Thread of Brag
Sorry, I seem to be frequenting this thread lately, but I'm on a bit of a roll. Here a a couple of nice games I've had today.
http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=38723 (15 rounder)
http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=38732 (Speedgoat)
Edit: Almost a second perfect Speedgoat within 24 hours, but in round 8 I hastily declared RANKED, having thought for a second that I had UNRANKED and then deciding there was only one N in the selection. After solving the difficult numbers game in the previous round, I can't belive I messed up a possible perfect game in such a dumb way.

Re: Official Thread of Brag
Nice one. But, I have to say I can't really work out why people still play Speedgoat, the numbers rounds are just an annoyance and Goatblitz is much better structured. Also no one has got a perfect Goatblitz yet. Maybe there's an Aptochallenge in there...

Quite pleased with this, although it's annoying because I had CAMPION but didn't go for it, which I might've done if the max game was on. But it never was, since I didn't know DIGESTIF (which has come up six times now and never been spotted.)

Re: Official Thread of Brag
I watched Tuesday's game today (finally uploaded) and Thursday's game, then played the duel, then played a 15 rounder against someone.
I got the conundrum on Tuesday's game, I maxed Thursday's game, I maxed the duel and then I maxed the first 7 rounds of the 15 rounder. 38 consecutive maxes!! I'm so happy - that has to be my record.
