Congrats kokiri! Great score! 
Disappointing last rack though, to not get 60k+. Would've been awesome to see that. Next improvement to the normal mode top score is likely going to finally be 60k+. This was also the 99th 50k+ normal mode score, after next one the whole top100 will be orange!
Something weird happened with the game shown below, it was a normal mode game, but for some reason it was listed as a puzzle mode game. I was thinking about making a puzzle out of it, but now I can't see what the game id is, since it was listed as a puzzle mode game, and thus doesn't appear on any leaderboard.

Really cool. Fun to see how you can luckbox into a nice puzzle
First you have to find setups to max the chains AND not spoil any bonus.
Then you find that rack 2 has an awkward 3 and 4 together, killing many setups (including mine), so you have to adapt to that.
Then you have a decent possibility to run into rack 7 being awkward for your setup and you have to adapt again.

Hmmm, I think Zac might have to go back and double check the tapes. I played a mix of advanced and regular mode this morning, and if I did score a megascore in regular mode, I was not aware of it. I think it's more likely that it's glitched and a so so advanced score got recorded as a regular one than I scored the best ever without even realising it, although I am capable of amazing feats of idiocy, so who knows.

i'll get a fix up asap, which may not be very s because i'm already staying up very late working on other things. thanks for letting me know.. if you're not dying to play it, try to avoid advanced mode for the next day or two..

Really? I thought it was one of the easier (nontrivial) ones, took me about 20 mins!
The DC yesterday made me angry/upset though. In Round 8 I assumed someone would have my setup with full bonus, so decided to take the lower score EV but higher win EV (20% - two 2s in Round 9). Turns out if I'd just taken the score EV and blocked the 4s and maximised bonus I would've won. On reflection I also made what might be a mistake in Round 6 (but didn't make a difference in the end), but it's easy to analyse afterwards isn't it? 
At least TH did the same thing, so I don't feel too terrible.

5 players pulling a Triplechang yesterday. At least Alex managed to improve on the chains to win it (better than those at shared 6th). Alex likes his 3´s and will never leave an opportunity unused to play them
My score of today might just win it.

I get the best chains with a 5 in round 9 (only improving my third chain), play the bonus perfectly and still get beaten by more than half the field #Ihatetriplechainsometimes.
Tru dat.
