Wheel of Fortune Survival

[ezorn33]

Just got the email alerting me to a win in the semifinals of the latest $25,000 Wheel of Fortune survival. Woohoo! It'll take a long time for the final round to complete -- there are still 7K slots left to be filled in the tourney.

I just find it insanely bizarre that at some point today, I will be playing a 3-minute online game that could be worth $1,000.

Good stuff man. I was talking to Meathook last night about WorldWinner and he said you're known to be the top Wheel of Fortune player...very nice.

hey buddy. congrats. who'd you beat in round 13 and what were the scores?

[bmy1]

p.s. you are frickin tough man. your system must be better than mine or something. do you have multiple monitors? I might get one JUST for WOF so that I can keep both the game window and my spreadsheets open at the same time.

Buy a dual monitor and own it up

No dual monitor. Sometimes I play at home and sometimes I play at work -- neither system is super-awesome or anything.

Round 13 was against jessica201978, and the score was 9700-8850.

And what do you mean, your spreadsheets?

[bmy1]

spreadsheets to keep track of puzzles I've seen. you rely completely on memory?

[ezorn33]

Well, memory and actually playing the puzzles :P I don't keep track of the puzzles I've seen, though I have considered it.

Just played the Final Round, and I'm pretty happy. I may have left a couple of points on the board, but I think I came close to maximizing my points. Now to wait for the rest of the tournament to happen...

Does your opponent get the same words or different ones? Do you spin the same numbers?
