>Jim_Burlant: EFIMPRS 8G FIRM +18 18
#note Couldn't think of FERMI, which wins roughly 0.6% more often and sims 1.2 points better. Interestingly, neitther this nor FERMI are best. How many of you would have merely exchanged the F? Apparently that's best here.
>Judy_Newhouse: OY J6 YO. +16 16
>Jim_Burlant: DEEPSTU H3 DEPUT.ES +62 80
#note Saw DEPUTES but convinced myself it was phony. I put this down to take no chances.
>Judy_Newhouse: ?EEILOY -?EE +0 16
>Jim_Burlant: DGIOPVZ 4D OGIV. +18 98
#note Convinced myself ZIPPO was no good and again took no chances. Despite the scoreboard points given up, this doesn't concede a whole lot to ZIPPO in the sim. Just shy of 78% to win.
>Judy_Newhouse: ?ADEESS E2 DE.ASSEd +68 84
>Jim_Burlant: ADEOPVZ 8A ADOZ. +75 173
#note Good thing I kept the Z on my last turn. :-) Just over 80% to win. Nothing else worth consideration.
>Judy_Newhouse: AJR K5 JAR +27 111
>Jim_Burlant: AEILPSV 4J PAVE +29 202
#note Three very strong choices here: This, VAIL 4J, and a 3rd optoin I never recognized: DEVISAL B8. VAIL in the same place may be slightly better because it doesn't give back D and R hooks, but this isn't bad by any means. A sim can't distinguish between this or VAIL.
>Judy_Newhouse: ?AEINTW L7 TAWNIEr +73 184
#note ANTIWEAR A8 92
>Jim_Burlant: AILNOST A8 .LATIONS +77 279
#note Best bingo. Just over 90% to win in a short sim.
>Judy_Newhouse: HIN B10 HIN +31 215
>Jim_Burlant: EEIIKOT 6B KOI. +18 297
#note Awful - how do I not see OIK K9?
>Judy_Newhouse: LMU 8L .LUM +18 233
>Jim_Burlant: CEEIINT D8 .INCITE +37 334
#note Considered SIENETIC* as a deliberate phony on row 15 but thought the better of it. Then I saw this - on top of scoring 37, the blanks and S's are out so this kills row 15 as well.
>Judy_Newhouse: AX K10 AX +38 271
>Jim_Burlant: AEEFGLR N2 FERAL +30 364
#note Or FARLE.
>Judy_Newhouse: ENW O1 WEN +25 296
>Jim_Burlant: BEGGHTU 13J BU.GH +20 384
#note Strictly played for defense - this kills bingoes down the N column and severely limits what she can do down the M column. The duck says the Fat Lady isn't singing yet, but she is warming up: 97.7% to win.
>Judy_Newhouse: OQU 2B QUO. +28 324
>Jim_Burlant: ACEGOTY M3 G.Y +27 411
>Judy_Newhouse: BR N8 .RB +11 335
>Jim_Burlant: ACELOOT 3E .L +4 415
#note With a bunch of R's unseen, I thought I had a good shot of drawing one and bingoing out with FOOTRACE G8. Q thinks I shouldn't waste my time trying this and instead says I should play 7E SOOT or N12 OHO.
>Judy_Newhouse: DEEINRT 11D .EDI +14 349
>Jim_Burlant: ACEOORT 14F CRATE +21 436
#note Incredibly, I draw my R...but she blocks my out bingo. Oh well. :-(
>Judy_Newhouse: ENRT 15H RENT +25 374
>Judy_Newhouse: (OO) +4 378
