ROUND 1 RESULTS - January 2003

       Thank you for playing in the Contest Center's Tournament of Riches. There were 75 competing entries for the January 2003 Round 1 puzzle. This makes 12 complete groups of 6 players. These 12 winners will receive $35 each, or they may choose to continue to Round 2 and try for $175. There is also one partial group with 3 players. The winner of that group will receive $20.

       The total prize money for Round 1 is $440 this month. Total winnings paid in the Tournament of Riches is now an even $46,000.

       Gary DeMarco had the top-scoring solution shown below. Since there were 13 groups, you did not need a top score to win. In fact, you could score 8 points lower and still win. The cutoff was at 217 points with 39 on the top row. Here are the winners and their scores:
