 | Jon Stitcher Sorry to be a pain but I really don't understand what we're meant to be doing here. |
 | Jamie M Play a Conundrum Attack in one of the variants I mentioned, say Omelette. If you solve one where six letters out of the nine are revealed, that's three points for the other three letters. You have to get 15+ points this way in a single game. |
| Jon Stitcher ahhh I see now |

| Jon Stitcher I think this is 47, probably worth checking

 | Tom Cappleman 46 http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=1266012 |
 | Zarte Siempre http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=1266061 - 43 as a start point. |
| Zarte Siempre I make this 57 http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=1266078 |
| Jamie M 56 I think - 10x4, 2x3 and 2x5. For future reference Jon, tie breaks don't count.
|
| Zarte Siempre I must look like a right scam artist, sorry. |
 | Callum Todd I think this is 52: http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=1266168 |
| Jamie M No worries, it's easy to miscount these. Aegilops all the way so far!

 | Richard Freeland I thought someone should try spoilage. This is 22.
|
| Matthew Tassier Brave effort, that's really tricky! |
| Richard Freeland 27 here:
|
| Jamie M Good to see Spoilage making an appearance! It's the hardest of the four variants that miss out multiple letters, but it misses out the most, so it'll be interesting to see how high up someone can get with it.

| Jamie M In a two-way tie for third, both get 65 because normally third gets 70 and fourth gets 60, which is what happened for M1: https://sites.google.com/site/apterousrevolver/challenge-list/set1

| Callum Todd Ah cool, thanks. |

| Jamie M This was a very close challenge, especially with Matthew's 47 late on. Here's how this finished:

Tourney round: Revolver: Challenge C2 - Blanks
Notes from the organizer: Welcome to Revolver, an on-going set of Apterous challenges for you to try as much as you like. The idea is that I set a challenge once every five days, and that each one runs for 20 days so four challenges run at any time. This one is conundrums-based, and the challenges rotate through letters, numbers, conundrums and a mix of all three.
You can play whichever challenges you like; all you need to do is sign up to one on its round page (this is just so I get an idea of what's more popular) and get started on it. Every challenge has an objective you need to complete, with extra points available depending on how you do it. These points then get converted into final scores as follows:
1st place: 100 points
2nd place: 80 points
3rd place: 70 points
All others: scaled between 20 and 60 points
The tournament has an overall leaderboard https://sites.google.com/site/apterousrevolver/leaderboard which is the total of all these final scores you've achieved.
So, here's the latest one, numbered C2 because it's conundrums challenge #2.
Name: BLANKS
Objective: In a Conundrum Attack, solve conundrums which have a total of at least 15 missing letters in them when solved. NOTE: as for all challenges this has to be in English, not CSW or any other language.
Variant/format: A Conundrum Attack in any format where conundrums are, or can be, revealed with missing letters. These are: Goatdown, Goatdown Jr, Hypergoatdown, Aegilops, Duckdown, Omelette and Spoilage. In the Goat variants you need to solve them before the last letter is revealed.
Scoring: One point per missing letter.
If you complete the challenge and want me to know about it, COMMENT ON THIS PAGE with a link to your game. If you better it, comment again and that will replace your previous game. After every few completions I'll put up a table of who's scored what.
Hopefully that's all clear, but if not let me know. Good luck everyone!
Ran from: 16 April – 5 May 2014. Format: Omelette Conundrum Attack. Matches: One-off. Approved.
Fixtures: 6. Completed: 6.
