I've hit a snag in my puzzle 5 parody. I also may do charts of performances at ACPT, 'cause they gave us the numbers and charts are cool. (I smell a final exam question here somewhere.)
Anyway, since this is all about me me me, more stats about my performance:
My performance on puzzle #1: 19-way tie for 1st.
My performance on puzzle #2: 6-way tie for 13th, 3 minutes behind the pace.
My performance on puzzle #3: 18-way tie for 30th, 4 minutes behind the pace.
My performance on puzzle #4: 44-way tie for 23rd, 2 minutes behind the pace (yes there's someone listed as having 2000 points on a maximum 1265-point puzzle... I took him out)
And then the wheels came off:
My performance on puzzle #5: alone in 52nd, one error + 11 minutes behind the pace.
My performance on puzzle #6: alone in 253rd, one error + 2 minutes behind the pace (a lot of people didn't screw up puzzle 6)
My performance on puzzle #7: 8-way tie for 241st, two errors + 11 minutes behind the pace.

Decline and Fall
ACPT by the numbers:
My position after puzzle 1: #1 (a 19-way tie)
My position after puzzle 2: #13
My position after puzzle 3: #13
My position after puzzle 4: #14
My position after puzzle 5: #25
My position after puzzle 6: #37
My position after puzzle 7: #64
Error on puzzle 5, silly error on puzzle 6, one of each on puzzle 7. Grrr. I have started practicing as of today.
Also: Eric Berlin (see sidebar!) has the Friday night puzzles for sale, which you want. I don't care who you are, you want them. 'Kay? As honorary captain of my team, by virtue of being the one who knew what was going on (I was teamed with two rookies, who understood crossword puzzles, but not funky crossword puzzles, and who didn't always read the directions at the top of the puzzles), I still have ours, but you can't have them.
