ROUND 1 RESULTS - May 2005


       Thank you for playing in the Contest Center's One On One puzzle contest. For May 2005 there were 42 Round 1 entries.

       Half the players win on each puzzle, so there are 21 Round 1 winners this month, for a total of $378.

       All winners will receive forms asking if they wish to continue to the next round. The forms are enclosed with this mailing. Winners who wish to risk their prizes and continue to the following round must sign and return the forms by the given deadline. Winners who wish to stop and take their prizes may discard the signature forms. Winners will receive either their prize check or their higher round puzzle(s) with the next month's Round 1 puzzle. If there is an odd number of players for a given higher round, one player will be held over to a later month.

       It is surprising that less than half of the Round 1 winners go ahead to Round 2. Somehow, they are content to win just $18. They are afraid to risk that $18 to try for more. There are big prizes available in One On One, but the only way you can get them is to go on to the higher rounds. Don't settle for $18 when you could win $66,500.

       David Simmonds had the winning 219-point solution for the Round 1 puzzle shown below. Since there were 21 winners, you did not need a top score to win. In fact, you could score 14 points lower and still win. The cutoff for winners was at 205 points with 35 on the top row and 28 on the second row.

       Here is the top-scoring 219-point solution and a complete list of the winners:
