There seems to be a discrepancy, the 10 point row is the one removed from the grid in the first post.

Exeter is holding his breath but there is that last space left on the old row 1 that he just slots into! grin

Argus is now in the place he has been trying to avoid. Left with his 102 he now has to bust the last row's 7 points! sad

Weez = 25 points smile (16 points this round)
Exeter = 28 points smile (2 points this round)
