Ah, another quiet week - 268 games, 5 players, 1 frozen, and a similar introduction to last time. Let's face it though, I do seem to say the same things a lot... and use too many commas... and ellipsis... Anyway, enough waffle - it's too warm to be sat here, I think I need to go and sit in front of the freezer. Oh, wait, I'm waffling again. No, Ceiling Cat - don't hiss at me!

Yeah, so, this week our top player was Mr.Puzzlewit, who finished with a final average of 4.6... except for the minor fact that he'd played the fewest games this week (5), so was frozen out. Sorry Mr.Puzzlewit, this week's Bletchley award goes to Sharon, who finished with an average of 4.74 over 47 games. Nice work, Sharon. She's also the most popular player this week, winning the Secret Admirers award (received 48 games).

Bunnery was busy this week, winning the Downgrade (disimproved by 0.79), Open Relay (sent 57 games) and Quick Thinking awards (completed a game in 9 seconds). In fact, Mr.Puzzlewit and DOM also completed games in 9 seconds, so I think I'll have to let them have a Quick Thinking award each too. In addition, Mr.Puzzlewit won the Upgrade award (improved by 0.3) and the Enigma award (set codes that took an average of 7 guesses to find), whilst DOM won the Turing award (played 124 solo games) and the Deep Thought award (took 1 day 20:32:25 to finish one game).

Breadmower set the easiest codes this week (taking a rather pathetic 2 guesses to find on average), winning Plaintext, and Smonkey finished with the highest average (6.25 over 12 games), winning the Brute Force award.

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.

Until next week...
