Notes from the organizer: It's round 12 now, so if you can get through this one then you are halfway through the competition. This round you have a game against Nude in Hyper format. Hyper has a more generous 45 second round limit, which should make this a slightly more relaxed challenge than Hyperlock was a couple of round ago. However Nude will only choose 1 large number and will inexplicably play more like Rex instead of at her usual level.
Some stats for this round:
Expected competitors: 43
Weakest Links required: 3
Historic WL Hyper average score: 152.42
