Prizegiving

This week:

• The Secret Admirers award (for receiving the most challenges) goes to sharon, who was challenged 28 times
• The Open Relay award (for sending the most challenges) goes to DOM, who sent 36 challenges
• The Turing award (for the most solo games played) goes to DOM, who played solo 179 times
• The Enigma award (for sending the hardest codes) is awarded to Sarah, whose codes took an average of 7 guesses to break
• The Plaintext award (for sending the easiest codes) is given to sharon, whose codes took only 4.62 guesses to break on average
• The Quick Thinking award (for the fastest game) goes to DOM, who completed a game in 11 seconds
• The Deep Thought award (for the slowest game) goes to DOM, who took 1 day 23:59:34 to finish one game
• The Upgrade award (for most improved average) goes to Bunnery, who decreased their average by 0.92
• The Downgrade award (for most worsened average) is given to Breadmower, whose average increased by 1.08
• The Brute Force award (for the highest average) goes to DOM, who took an average of 5.19 guesses to break codes
• The Bletchley award (for top codebreaker) is this week awarded to Bunnery, whose average number of guesses to break codes was 4.63 over 19 games

Another quiet-ish week, I'm afraid: 260 games, 5 players, 1 frozen. DOM was the busiest this week, playing 201 games (just over 75% of the week's games). For his effort, he won five awards: Open Relay (sent 36 challenges), Turing (played 180 solo games), Quick Thinking (for finishing a game in 11 seconds (or -3589 if you beleive the statistics page (which is an hour out, for some reason)), Deep Thought (took 1 day 22:59:34 to complete one game) and Brute Force (for his final average of 5.19).

Elsewhere, Sharon picked up the Secret Admirers award (for receiving 28 challenges) and the Plaintext award (for setting codes that took only 4.62 guesses to find on average), whilst Sarah won Enigma (for setting codes that took an average of 7 guesses to find) and Breadmower won Downgrade (for disimproving by 1.08). Finally Bunnery found a code with one guess (winning an Optimal Algorithm award), which helped her to win this week's Bletchley award for her final average of 4.63. Nice wor, Bunnery :-)

Congratulations to everyone who won an award - they'll now be visible on your personal statistics pages so that the rest of us can marvel at your skills.

Predictions

Still nothing going on here, but I'll try to rally the troops for next week, OK?

Until next week...
