Ah, well. What can I say? 22 games played, which is probably a record low, but then I can't really complain, as I didn't play any either. Hello, Pot? I've got Kettle on line two. I won't try to string it out - I'll just summarise: Bunnery came first (5.27 over 11 games), Smonkey came last (7.56 over 9 games), and Sarah was frozen out in the middle (6 over 1 game). Bunnery, nice work - have a Bletchley. In fact, have an Open Relay (sent 14 games), Quick Thinking (finished a game in 29 seconds), Deep Thought (took 16 minutes 2 seconds to complete a game), and Upgrade (improved by 0.45). Smonkey, I'm afraid that you'll have to make do with the Turing award (played 9 solo games), Downgrade (disimproved by 0.72) and Brute Force award.

Three other players won awards, too. That'll be: Laura with Secret Admirers (received 8 games), Sharon with Enigma (set codes that took 6 guesses to find on average), and DOM with Plaintext (codes took 5.11 guesses to find on average).

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...
