 | Adam Latchford thank god the goat harry latimer isn't here to max four large complete this. Option 2 would be inevitable |
 | Andy SC He would have likely had a prime number in each round as well as well as the small numbers being repeated. |
 | Matthew Brockwell I didn't get repeated small numbers in any round! |
| Matthew Brockwell Hang on neither did Ian - can you get repeated small numbers? Option 3 may be non-attainable! |
 | Dan Spinks no, I think there's only 1 of each number 1-99 in the deck for aegilops |
 | Tal Lessner Never realised it until now, but seems like Dan's right. went thru several 1L games and none of them has a repeat small, with 48% chance of a repeat number on 1L with a normal deck, this means chance for no repeat in 20 rounds game is 2 in a million. |
 | Adam Dexter Well let's just hope that Option 3 is selected, and it makes it a standard Aegilops NA :) |
 | Mike Lee Was this always the intention or is it an undiscovered bug that Charlie should look to fix? |
| Tal Lessner I'd go with a bug that shouldn't be fixed. |
| Mike Lee Hahahahaha |
| Andy SC "Rules are the same as the normal game, but the large numbers can be any value from 11 to 99. " - That's from the rules tab for Aegilops NA. Doesn't actually specify whether there is just one of each small number or not. |
| Adam Latchford i assume there's only one of each big number too then. I quite like that there can't be repeats! |
 | Ian Volante I've seen similar bugs appear in the numbers before. There are existing reports if you want to look for them. I had similar thoughts about the apparent constant double-letters in one of the conundrum days in this competition, but didn't report it. |

| Sean D Looks like a feature rather than a bug. Going through a few different games over the past number of years it doesn't ever seen to have had repeat numbers |
| Matthew Brockwell It's actually consistent with the letter decks in Aegilops which don't have repeats either (and reset after every 21/5 letters). |
| Andy SC Option 2 was the scoring method for this round. Scores based on that method are as follows:
|
| Andy SC Top 5 after Day 19:

| Dan Spinks ahh, Matthew, you've cleared up something that's been bugging me. I couldn't work out why there were virtually no instances of repeat letters in aegilops yet I got a double U in R20 of one game. the deck resetting mid game explains it. so you can actually predict what's coming in some rounds, especially with vowels |
