Do we get to play in the playoff? Even if only against each other? I have:
Damefox - 3465
LesY - 3203
BrianMac - 3169
Laura - 3053
Al Sisti - 2187
Cindy - 2170
FrankieHeck - 1696...

Sound about right?

Al - I think you're looking at the scores from only one of the puzzles, not the cumulative score.

Thanks for that Brian. Scoring noobie here.
You scored 3203 on Puzzle 4 compared to my 3169.

You were right, but let's call it a tie! :)

Do you think we can play along with Puzzle 5?

I believe they're going to release the playoff puzzle for non-finalists prior to the finalists solving it.

Thanks, my mistake, I refreshed and it was up.

4. 24:55, no errors (or "clean" as people in the know seem to be saying!)

I completely don't understand the high scores, I can't even read the clues that fast!

Yeah, says it'll be released for non-finalists. Rankings I have so far (out of 1642) are:

Damefox - 135
LesY - 290
Laura - 488
BrianMac - 500
FrankieHeck - 614
Al Sisti - 649
Cindy - 679

Don't know if we have a chance to leapfrog with #5 (I could kick myself for the four errors in #2 due to "overwriting") ... but good luck!

Btw for those listening on the livestream - this is pretty much what their Tuesday podcast sounds like. Seinfeld-like fun about nothing. And puzzles. It's great.

I'll be doing the "normal clues" version of the playoff - if anyone's brave enough to use the hard clues, I think you get bonus points for that.

16:04, clean. "Easy" clues. That would've been un-doable for me with the hard clues.

13:20 with easy clues, but two errors. Home life is starting to interrupt me here...I'll use that as my excuse ;-)
