Jon Pinyan

Jon Pinyan Just to clarify:
On option 2, numbers rounds score as usual?
On option 3, letters rounds score as usual?

Andy SC

Andy SC @Jon - Yes to both questions.

Sarah Binns

Sarah Binns OMG I messed up big time again!

Adam Latchford

Adam Latchford you got the even conundrum though so hope its option 1!

Ravi Choudhary

Ravi Choudhary Little bit confused about Option 1 - is the decimal point related to the time it takes for you to solve the conundrum?

Matthew Brockwell

Matthew Brockwell Yes if your time is x.0 x.2 x.4 x.6 or x.8 seconds you gain 10 points.

Mike Lee

Mike Lee Of course you need to be able to solve it first :(

Chris Hare

Chris Hare As your court-appointed Apto-lawyer, I'll point out that the rules say "conundrum guess", not "conundrum solve".

Since you didn't buzz in at all, that doesn't actually help you.

Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer.

Ravi Choudhary

Ravi Choudhary Or you simply don't solve the conundrum, and risk incurring a 10 pt penalty.

Option 2: Letters rounds are scored based on what they would score in scrabble

Option 3: Only 6-small numbers rounds count. Anything else won't be considered.
