Steve didn't show for this round as far as I can see, so Liane's narrow win over Paul Smith means that it would take a real influx on top of Liane not completing the last round for her to not win the league.

Turns out this is a really interesting source of data to play around with! My first effort was to compare these results by looking at the sum of ranks by day, with lower ranks being better. This in general doesn't feel like a great way of doing things as there's much dependency on the total participation in each event - and also you have to wait for everyone to participate to be able to get final results. In this case the daily participation didn't vary, and I've taken the convention that Todd is currently ranked 8th on the puzzle he hasn't completed, and the results go something like: 1 Tom ..read more

Hi. I'm just back from attending a session with Paris - I do satisfy the 40+ criterion ... by a decent margin! It was an interesting way to spend an hour or so and I look forward to hearing the results of this worthwhile study in due course. It was pretty straightforward and didn't involve any significant puzzling, but there were definitely some challenging aspects. If you're 40+ and often in London anyway, please consider contacting Paris. The venue is only a few minutes away from Kings Cross / St Pancras. I certainly wouldn't suggest making a special trip from outside the London area, but it ..read more

Puzzle Round 4 had a beautiful set of round puzzles and points were generally easy to come by, with most solvers improving on their average score. Neil recorded his highest score since [my] records began (2018), but so did Maurice (by around 100 points), Dylan, AJ, Liane, Calum and Desirée, with Desirée also breaking into the top 100 for the first time, and generally delivering an incredible result in #77. Calum is having a great debut season in the Puzzles, having been impressing in Sudoku for a while, and this marks a particular peak so far in #104. Liane, Emma Kingston and Nick Edwards also ..read more

Matthew is all done now and just waiting on David as the only one able to stop him, but with a sudoku as Sunday's puzzle, it's hard to see past David. I'll keep an eye out over the next couple of days and post when I spot that we're all done. Statistics: Posted by pinkagape — Sun May 05, 2024 7:20 pm ..read more
