Aptochallenge 4: Flat 15

[Charlie Reams]

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.

Hooray!

Hooray!

Nice one. I should also say there'll be a prize for any perfect games.

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:

Another 14 max game (could have been 15 but Charlie clicked 3 large instead of 1 large annoyingly).

An obvious question would be, how many maxes would you have got without me?

OK fair enough.

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