Round 11 I told Andrew he was playing shit. Awesome comeback. Great game. 8-)

Maybe not worthy of making the shortlist but I thought I'd throw this one into the mix because a) I beat the beast who is Chris Davies and 2) Round 13. :)

A solid game which swung both ways. A bit like my Ipod.

It rather pales in comparison to some of what's gone before, but this was pretty cool just because we were level from round 3 to the end (and there's even a bonus conundrum for added funtime).

Getting closer and closer to that hypernumbers maximum...

Plus I beat the current record (Ben's 181 was done in 45-sec rounds).

Good one, quite a few records so far this week. A real man would go for 6 large though. Would be interesting to know roughly what proportion of 6 large games are actually solvable, the solution methods must be like the regular 4 large game on steroids.

Like that, except for hypernumbers. I thought about blasting through some 2 second hypernumbers attacks to gather data, but wasn't sure if that was enough time for the solver to do its thing.

I can probably make that happen but yeah, the data is pretty sparse right now.

I would recommend my game with Richard Brittain and this cracker from Steven and Richard.

Unlucky, there was no 3 in the selection.

Finally got round to doing this, took all of 5 minutes:

I am surprised none of the 2-large games have been completely undoable, even though it's a toss-up between 2/6 and 3/5 for most optimal pick you'd have thought one of them would be crap.

Nice, its surprisingly well balanced, apart from 8 small.
