Ahh ok that clarifies it a bit, now I think you got the better bet

Re: Steve Rourke vs. John V-Neun: 3rd Annual Championship Wager
Although we were both right in terms of "all-scoring" alliances on Einstein, John was more right than me.....My wallet is lighter this morning, and John's currency collection continues to grow. By my count, a total of 14 tubes were scored by the winning alliance in their two winning matches -- so there's no way that the least scoring 'bot exceeded 4.5 tubes by themselves. Would liked to have seen matches similar to what I saw in many of the division playoffs. I think a couple of alliances that arrived on Einstein were surprised by how things unfolded for them.....

In fact, I believe Team 177 scored two tubes total on Einstein. One was scored by their human player, and one by their robot.

Steve,

While I feel for you a little, I must say that taking counsel from Kanagarooa..., Kanagarsea..., um .... that guy from 1114, is perhaps not your wisest decision ever

and yes, I really can spell "Kanagasabapathy" when I want to

That's two years in a row JVN won the bet because of what happened to 177 on Einstein. Happy to help out.
Pete
