Uh, actually you misordered my last two moves, Gypsy.

I played the guaranteed-safe 91 on turn 9 in the last spot on Row 3. That left the 92 at the start of Row 4 with four spots. AJ didn't take any points there, and Weez's final play filled the last spot on the row.

My 1 point bust would have taken the 87 (still on Row 2 I think) on the last turn. Argus, Alduin, and AJ would have landed on the old Row 1.

Net score change: AJ has 11 fewer points and is ahead of me.

I appreciate the honesty, and the dodged bullet.
