Names with accented or non-English letters have been converted to an English representation with a 26-letter alphabet. Many people use erratic capitalization, so I determine proper case by algorithm; if this does not correctly display your name, please advise and I will add it to the exception list. If you wish to contact someone whose name you see listed (such as a lost friend) give me permission to send your address to that person, then he or she can contact you. I will not give out e-mail addresses (these are private and go nowhere from me).

Participation Summary

Bot’s Eye View

Congratulations to Micro Bridge and GIB, which tied at 42 and were the only bots to beat the average human score. My usual tiebreaker for bots is consistency (best worst score), but they tied there as well, so I had to come up with something else. After a little thought, this was easy: Micro Bridge gets the win because it was faster. Poor HAL only scored 11, but it seemed happy about it — I think it must have had its wires crossed with some blackjack program, as the screen kept saying “double down, double down.”

The bots were good this month in staying on the charts, as each lead was among my listed options. The propensity to cash aces was paramount as usual (note the  A leads on Problems 3 and 6, which were the worst options), but this also garnered a few 10s on Problem 2 where it was the right defense. I guess if you always lead aces, it has to be right sometimes.
