Re: Official Thread of Brag
I know I'm a bit late to the party, but finally, a max game, albeit a 9 rounder. That perfect 15 rounder still proves elusive, and I fear always will be.

Chris let you have that, there's no way he'd ordinarily take more than 7.5 seconds to spot DESISTING.
Still, well done, don't let that diminish your achievement.

You do realise the conundrum in our game (this one) was crucial, right?

Erm, Ok, I've sort of forgotten about it anyway, seeing that just brought it up, sorry for being quite bitter about it. It was only a 9 rounder after all.

I know he did, which was very gracious but unwanted. I had no choice but to buzz in once i saw it though, i can't really help it if the other player decides to pull out of the battle. I'll be bearing it all in mind if and when Chris makes the QF's of Series 61. Can have lots of fun with the conundrums at my end

Re: Official Thread of Brag
Don't worry Kirk, there's plenty more where the last lot came from, including some real crackers in terms of shuffles and answers.
I liked AMSPECIAL because it was dedicated to your abilities. No coincidence. Little things like that are my plaything.
The guys in Series 61 will find that the bar, thanks to Apterous training, has been raised considerably and the 10 pts in Round 15 will no longer be something they can pin their hopes on. Evil cackles all round.

EDIT: I have spoken to Aaron and he said:'I can honestly say I never cheated'And I didn't think he did at first, but then again Charlie has the benefit of the Cheatomatic.

Your record of 175 should really now be mine, but CONCIERGES was disallowed even though its a legitimate word.
Would also have had 17 maxes out of 20, which will take some beating.

Not really a brag since the actual accomplishment was ages ago, but due to the good work of Jono and Chris Davies in knocking down some long-standing records, my Speed 9 record is the oldest standing record. Better enjoy it while I can.

Spotted LEATHERN but decided not to go for it.
And just too slow on the conundrum.
