Adam Latchford

Adam Latchford not sure i've read this correctly it seems to be suggesting we're doing a spoilage conundrum attack?

Elwin Carlos

Elwin Carlos Would help to read the rules ... Only realised halfway through that the given letters need to be in that order ... not that it would have made much difference!

Bailey Cowell

Bailey Cowell Why does this tourney have to be so hard? I only guessed in R2 and have scraped most of the previous games?

Dan Spinks

Dan Spinks what a format this is. 60 points gets you on the all time leaderboard

Matthew Tassier

Matthew Tassier Glad you're all having fun. I'm reminiscing about some of the fun rounds from last time: https://www.apterous.org/to_tourney.php?tourney=3579

Jason Turner Bailey I suppose you could look on the bright side that you've already had some of Aperous's hardest variants and your still standing. Well played mate. the glass is half full!

Chris Hare

Chris Hare Before this round, 79 people had played a Spoilage CA. I'm willing to bet on that number getting quite a bit higher now.

It's unlikely to be as impressive as the Greek CA from last go around, though - 60% of the people ever to play one did so as part of that tourney.

Matthew Tassier

Matthew Tassier In an extremely tough format, Martin T is the Strongest Link with 60 points. He was one of only 3 people to defeat Waldorf, alongside Ian and Chris, who reclaims top spot in total points.

Matthew Tassier

Matthew Tassier 12 people were stuck on zero including top scorer coming into this round, Jack. The unfortunate lowest total scorer from those 12, by just 6 points, is Mark. Mark, you are the Weakest Link. Goodbye!

Mark O'Regan Cheers for organising Matthew, some poor early rounds cost me!

Tourney round: Weakest Link Mayhem 2023: Round 7 - Spoilage Conundrum Attack

<< Round 6 - Lockdown Jnr 15 | Round 8 - Berserk Numbers Attack >>

Notes from the organizer: In round 7 you will take on Caesar in the most difficult English conundrum attack there is. In a Spoilage conundrum you will see about 6 letters and must come up with the 12 letter solution that contains those letters in that order. Fortunately Caesar should give you a reasonable amount of time to ponder, but it won't be a high scoring round.

One lowest scoring Weakest Link will leave the tournament this round. If there is a tie for lowest score then total score in the tournament so far will be the deciding factor. The current total scores are next to each player's fixture below.
