Tom Cappleman

Tom Cappleman What if the picked letter is already in the selection, and you only use 1 of it? Does that count as discarding if option 1 is picked?

Adam Dexter

Adam Dexter Well I forgot what I was doing in R3. Ah well!

Mike Lee

Mike Lee I now think everyone should stop asking for clarifications and interpret the rules as Andy has written them. It should be part of the challenge!!!
