This group was very streaky.
Winning streak = 8
Losing streak = 8
40 solved so far.
14 losers with scores > 50

I've not been playing FT very much recently Larry, but if you care to divulge your 14 >50 group, I'd certainly give them a try. |

I've had a quick try at half of them so far Larry. I'll spend a more serious amount of time on them the next time round. The second 7 coming up first. |

Richard,
I knew you would find a few gems in the list.
Didn't see # 448 on your list.
Back to work on # 430 and # 466.
Thanks,
Larry |

You are too too kind!
Seriously though, I'll give them a try. Thanks. |

A distinct shortage of rabbits Larry. Our scores are very similar. We could probably improve a little on some of them, but I doubt if any of them are winnable.

Forty Thieves Players,
As a group we seem to have solved 44% of the first 400 games. Since we probably missed some,
it would appear the actual rate would be between 45-50%

Yes. It's nice to establish a TRUE percentage, not one of those fictional ones posted by the inhabitants of Cloud Cuckoo Land. |

I will add # 460 to the winners list.
Had a feeling this one was solvable.

Could I impose on your good will yet again Larry by asking you to post a list of your scores for those you've not won? In the meantime I will see what I can do with the high scoring losers you've already posted. |

Larry, It would probably be easier for you to email me your records rather than type them out here. That way you could possibly just send them as an attachment. richard.mechen_hotmail.com. (just insert @ where I have put the _).
I was told that scammers scan forums etc to try and pick up email addresses. That's why I didn't type it out as a link. |

Richard, is that your new email address now? Is it okay for me to delete your other one? |

You should already have had the two of them Kathy, as I've sent you emails from both. They will still work but I prefer the Hotmail one as the spam there is under control. |
