 | Dan Byrom That was a very unpleasant experience. Was halfway through a practice run and had scored in all but 2 rounds so decided to go for it. And all of a sudden Rex starts popping out with 35x27 and 39x23 and I lose concentration, sat on 27 at halfway D:
|
 | Mike Lee Don’t worry Dan, I’ve had 5 practice runs at this so far and only broken 100 once. I think I will be joining you in being in the elimination zone when the time comes. |
 | Adam Latchford I keep thinking that the variants can't get worse but they keep getting worse - on this trend I won't have to see spoilage at least |
| Mike Lee Dan, the wait was neither excruciating or disappointing!!!
|
 | Brendan Whitehurst Damn. That was painful. I guess that's me done. Thank you for hosting Matthew. Good fun as always. Good luck everyone else. |

 | Adam Dexter Wow talk about leaving it late to get some points... |
 | Matthew Tassier Impressively, George's raw score of 176 was just 3 points shy of the all-time apterous Octolock NA record, but with Rex stealing a lot of his points Elliott was there to mop up another Strongest Link award. |
| Matthew Tassier Looks like this round was a nasty surprise for quite a few of you. Adam D scored in the last 2 rounds to engineer another great escape pipping Martin by 3 points. Our departees here leave with a top 20 finish, and for Jamie he's one of only 2 players to finish in the top 20 in every year of this tournament. So Martin, Jamie and Brendan you are the Weakest Links. Goodbye! |
 | George Armstrong If you gave one of the better players my game here, they'd have smashed the high score. As far as I can see, 188 is the joint highest score that's ever been available. |
 | Martin Hurst Cheers Tass - great fun as always :) |
Tourney round: Weakest Link Numbers Tournament 2022: Round 18 - Octolock
Notes from the organizer: For the top 20 players round eighteen is going to be another tricky challenge as they go up against Rex in an Octolock game. With larges of 20, 30, 40 and 50 and only 5 numbers to work with, it can be an unusual task, particularly as Rex will choose the rarely played 4 Large option. As with Octorock earlier, some players may get games with far lower possible max scores than others do. That's just luck of the draw.
Some stats for this round:
Expected competitors: 20
Weakest Links required: 3
Highest WL Octolock score: 167 - Mervyn Tong
Most Octolock Weakest Links: 2 - Elliott Mellor & Tim Down
Highest scoring Octolock Weakest Link: 118 - Chris Hare (2021)
