 | Liam Tiernan By my reckoning that makes 1300 crucial conundrums I've faced. And I've probably lost over 1000 of them. |
| Adam Gillard Nice to know I keep things interesting to the final round with all these crucialities. |
 | Josh Hurst By my reckoning this means that Dylan has played around 32 standard 15 rounders per day each day for the last 90 days...That's a bit worrying. |
 | |
 | Dylan Taylor Coming from someone who has a playing time which is approximately double mine :s |
 | Ahmed M calm down lol |
 | Jen Steadman ...And has been on the site for three times longer than you have. |
 | Adam Dexter Calm down ladies... |
 | Mark D And that's only one of his usernames! |
 | Jack Hurst Does this page include games from bots? |
| Mark D This table also needs a column for what percentage of those games featuring crucials the player won, I reckon. |
| Adam Dexter I was thinking that too, Mark |
 | Harriet Newton I would vote against that. Ahem. |
 | Charlie Reams Jack: yes, this does include bot games. |
 | Jon O'Neill Are there qualifications for this leaderboard? |
| Charlie Reams 50 games in the last 90 days. |
| Jon O'Neill Cool. In that case, for some reason me and my rivals do not show up on this list. |
| Charlie Reams This isn't a leader board so it doesn't work the same way. File a ticket if you want. |
| Adam Gillard Innis's long reign at or very near the top of Pro Ranks is testament to his conundrum skill - nearly 70% crucials! |
| Show all comments | |
 | Phyl Styles surely this doesn't indicate anything at all about success in solving them? |
| Adam Gillard Well, it shows that most of his games could go either way and by the evidence of Pro Ranks, he wins on the crucial more often than not. |
| Adam Dexter Nearly 1 in 3 crucial. Don't know whether that's good or bad though :/ |
 | Adam Latchford well it' been 8 years and youre still one in three crucial |
 | David Holmes Top of the league! Don't know if that's a good or a bad thing though. |
