Weekly summary: Episodes 281 to 285

Starting off the week with a few monties kept my scores high; a poor set of numbers results meant that Wednesday's results were not quite as good as they could have been.  I once again finished the week on a strong note, as it was only my overreach for another full monty that stopped me tying with David and Lily.

	Mon	Tue	Wed	Thu	Fri
Me	88	78	79	63	70
Champion	16	20	28	10	14
Challenger	10	0	12	7	35
David + Lily	89	88	86	76	78
Me (solo)	88	85	79	63	70

Tina had a good run in the early part of the week, but finally went down to Samantha on Thursday.  Tina's scoring was erratic -- spread moderately evenly between 29 and 72 -- but she got to the important fifth game and maintained a good average.  Samantha was defeated by Anthony on Friday, so once again Friday produces a turnover.  The limited leaderboard looks like this:

Brydon Coverdale	43	47	56	61	70	52	329
Paul Breen	60	36	31	64	53	36	280
Tina Rose	72	46	63	57	29		267
Martin Gabor	56	58	52	44			220
Judithe Hall	62	51	43				156
Emily Hawker	67	53	29				149
Anushan Jegatheeswaran	50	47	41				138
Rachel Furness	35	54	40				129

There was a full monty available on each of the first three days of the week, but that was it as far as interesting features went.  David's hopes were briefly raised, only to be dashed on Thursday.

	Mon	Tue	Wed	Thu	Fri
Full Monties	1	1	1			3
Missed Full Monties						0
Tough Numbers						0
Impossible Numbers						0

I had a very good week with the letters maximums, and it would have been even better if I had not tried for the full monty on Friday  The numbers results in the middle of the week were a little disappointing, however.  I did manage to get four of the five conundrums, though, so that's a pleasing outcome.
