WSOS Event #7 Reveal: Triceratops LMK - Page 4 - Puzzles and Other Games Forum

lol this

ouch q9 though - didn't think of London, but I needed my L's elsewhere. But apparently there was a more optimal combination. Slipped from 1st to like 10th, damn.

gg all

Statistic: only me & kcaw have finished in the top half in every event thus far. I declare us the winners.

Oh wait, it's not the World Series of Consistent Mediocrity? Carry on.

Pretty sure optimal answers are:

Lisa
Mexico
Kangaroo
Kia
Milk
Louisiana
Keyboard
Murphy
London

...but I haven't actually put thought into it.

Congrats, thanks, etc.

Actually Mercedes/Lemonade/Kentucky work even better for 4-6. That's 9-9 SHEEP.

Lisa
Mexico
Kangaroo
Mercedes
Lemonade
Kentucky
Keyboard
Murphy
London

Will run the numbers now and see where you would rank in a "fairer" scoring system

Brian missed Kentucky for the perfect game (opting for Kansas cost 2 points):

Lisa
Mexico
Kangaroo
Mercedes
Lemonade
Kansas
Keyboard
Murphy
London

True North & insanity both sent the same set:

Lisa
Mexico
Kangaroo
Mercedes-Benz
Milk
Louisiana
Keyboard
Kelly
London

lisa
mexico
kangaroo
mercedes
milk
louisiana
keyboard
kelly
london

IBD got the same score from a different route:

Lisa
Mexico
Lion
Kia
Milk
Kentucky
Keyboard
Murphy
London

Chewbacca rule doesn't seem to apply as much these days, I was totally convinced Louisiana would sheep and proceeded accordingly.

Thx spurs, congrats Brian, insanity and IBD.

Same. If I hadn't been a dumbazz & said kazoo over keyboard, we would have had the same entry, too.

Alternative Leaderboard:

Alternative scores show a more accurate representation of how you have faired in the series so far, but have no actual bearing on the series itself (unless there is a tie in the Main Event)

I have included a "Rank Difference" to show how favourable/unfavourable the scoring system I chose for this series has been for some players

Sweet! I was pretty close to resubmitting with milk instead of lemonade and Lexus instead of Mercedes... laziness pays off.

Well played podium and thanks for another good game spurs!

I think I can safely say the TN/insanity version was the optimal entry. Can't account for other people being wrong tho.

Altho this could be correct. Almost made that switch

Felt Mercedes was >> Kia while murphy/Kelly was more of a push

Wow

I performed atrociously but at least the avatar bet thing worked out ok in the end.

It was looking like oberunner would win the whole thing, but a late fail means only 2 points

thanks for the game spurs and congrats to the winners

The first entry I received was Booker's and I saw he had both Mexico and Mexico City; I instantly thought I had made a huge mod blunder and everyone would submit the same
