Notes from the organizer: Round twelve is another awkward one, played in Duckdown format against Apterous Plum. In Duckdown possible targets are 101-1999 and you get 7 numbers to use rather than 6 but you must "duck" (not use) one of them. Plum likes to pick 7 small numbers, which will likely be a bit of a problem if you are unlucky enough to get a lot of high targets. Also, Plum will probably deliver an annoying mix of perfect solves and total misses.

Some stats for this round:
Expected competitors: 40
Weakest Links required: 3
Most Duckdown Strongest Links: 3 - Tom Cappleman
Most Duckdown Weakest Links: 3 - Jonny D
