An almost instant two.
Standard opener and a fluke guess which I’ll happily take.

What interests me is that I have just seen that I had the exact same result with my second that wordle-God Bod had with his first. He had the answer with his very next go, I did not, I required an interim step. I am impressed, and not with me.

827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq		Friday, 22nd December, start 15:15

An unusual but fun day today, I just did a large number of bent over rows with sixty kilos as the place was full of weightlifters warming up for the annual Christmas competition.

These competitions take on various forms, this year it was rather bizarre. It comprised two lifts - the power clean and the bench press. Each entrant had to predict what they would do in each lift and then see what they could actually do. If you did more than predicted you won points, and if you did less you lost them. So far so good.

Now obviously the trick would be to tell everyone you would bench twenty kilos and then bench one hundred and therefore win many points, but this would not do as no-one would believe a one hundred kilo bencher was only going to do twenty kilos so such a prediction would not have been allowed.

You could have predicted a two hundred kilo bench and then lifted only one hundred. That would have been allowed but would have been a very foolish thing as you would have lost a shedload of points.

The object then would be to predict a lift that was high enough to be believed as a potential maximum, but low enough for you to beat by some way and therefore garner enough points to win.

In my eyes this then is actually a competition to find the best liar and most devious lifter. Anywho it was great fun and was won by Mack.

Ah Bollox! Used the old openers and failed miserably. I will try and calculate if I could have done better with the more recent ones. An utterly pointless exercise but I will do it anyway

That's excellent news. Thank you for being kind enough to post that. The idea of a devious competition is not patented, feel free to use it if you wish

Done.

After my usual three openers I would have had GYGXG which would have effectively have been GXGGG, only three words fit that and two would have already have been eliminated.

So I might just have squeaked it. Bah ! Fickle nonsense.

Not wishing to salt the wound, but I got it in three today

Same for me, a fast and efficient three. Pass the salt!

Experiencing some discomfort today, it started yesterday, it seems to have been caused by excessive salt rubbing. Hopefully it will pass
