It's time to Larsen up your lives! Continuing the general theme of Aptochallenges in attacking the longest-standing high scores, the latest (and surely greatest) Aptochallenge is to break Nick Wainwright's record for a 15 rounder with flat scoring. The record is 113 (11 maxes), but that's surprisingly tough to beat because, with only 9 points for a 9, the max tends to be in the region of 112-116 every time. There's little margin for error. But this is a little-played format so higher scores can definitely happen -- anything in the region of 120 would be seriously impressive I think.
You have until 23:59 on Thursday 2 April to take the record down. Prizes for the first person to beat it and (if different) highest record at the end of that time.

Nice one. I should also say there'll be a prize for any perfect games.Paul Howe wrote:Hooray!

That's going to be hard to beat. My first attempt - 13 maxes.

Ah fuck - my 2nd attempt and I get 14 maxes. The max I missed was so damn easy and I missed it. I suck.

Another 14 max game (could have been 15 but Charlie clicked 3 large instead of 1 large annoyingly).
More importantly though, I now hold the record:

An obvious question would be, how many maxes would you have got without me?Kirk Bevins wrote:Another 14 max game (could have been 15 but Charlie clicked 3 large instead of 1 large annoyingly).

Looks like Mr Briers may have clinched it with this excellent performance, although there's still a few more hours for late entries.
