| Matthew Tassier Storming play this round, and there's only been one round in the history of WL Numbers with more max games than this round's 39. Elliott keeps up his max game streak, but top of the tree here is this round's Strongest Link, Nick. |
| Matthew Tassier With such a high scoring round, we're losing some unlucky players, particularly Dan Southwell and Fi scoring 177s, and all 3 are able to blame Waldorf for stealing the vital points needed for their survival. Fi, Dan and Fiona you are the Weakest Links. Goodbye! |
 | Fiona T Thanks for organising Matthew - slightly relieved to be out before the hard rounds! :D |
 | Fi Thorne I completed my hat-trick of going out on Unlimited Junior! Thanks for organising Matthew and good luck everyone! |
 | Dan Southwell Thanks Matthew! I blame myself for botching the last round.. I bow out in good company though!!! |
Notes from the organizer: The fifth round this year will be played in Unlimited Junior format against Apterous Waldorf. Possible targets are 11-100 and the two large numbers available in this format are 10 and 20. Waldorf likes a friendly pick of 1 large, and will solve quite a few rounds. One quirk of this format is that if 20 is your target then to get your 10 points you must still do a calculation even if there is a 20 in the selection. (e.g. do 20*1 or 20+3-3 or 4*5 etc.)
Some stats for this round:
Expected competitors: 69
Weakest Links required: 3
Previous max games: 175
Highest average score (3+ games): 200 - Elliott Mellor (8 games), Dave Robjohns (5 games)
Most WL points scored in this format: 1781 - Gevin Chapwell
Most times Unlimited Junior Weakest Link: 2 (Fi Thorne)
