Things have calmed down after the insane glut of brilliant games last week, but there's still plenty of quality on show here.

Kai Laddiman vs Apterous Rex - Some excellent hypernundrumming from Kai against the Rexosaurus. Also, notice how Rex gets all his solutions in a very narrow time window. HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS.

Andrew Hulme vs Steven Briers - Yowzers, a perfect goatdown from Andrew and a joint total of 280 which is technically not a record but almost certainly the highest non-collaborative joint goat total.

Jon Corby vs Paul Howe - Back to the world of speedgoat, where Corby manages to gazump me on the goatundrum after a closely fought game and some imaginative picking.

Kirk Bevins vs Chris Davies - More of the same really, Chris eeking out a win in another close speedgoat with a couple of really nice picks on each side.

Apterous Caesar vs Ben Wilson - More hyper goodness of the numeric variety, the Nebagram striking back with a new 30 second record after Matt Green's effort from last week.

Damn you Wilson...

Hulme vs Briers- wow

Pretty crazy game mine and Steven's, in that barring a misclick from him in the final numbers game, it wouldve been a crucial conundrum for a win AND a max game

I played Andrew at Goatdown recently and he missed the max game by one letter, so this was on the cards.

Well done to Andrew and Steve for a near perfect performance.

Great stuff chaps.

Competitive this week

I was tempted to declare Hulme v Briers the winner by default and save myself some work, but I respect democracy too much (even when you lot pick the wrong game half the time)
