Notes from the organizer: Round three sees you playing in Unlimited Junior format against Apterous Velvet. This is essentially the same as regular Junior but with the addition of an extra large number, 20. Velvet will solve most rounds and likes to pick 2 large.
One quirk of this format is that if 20 is your target then you must still do a calculation even if there is a 20 in the selection. (e.g. do 20*1 or 20+6-6 or 4*5 etc.)
Some stats for this round:
