heh. This was a very strange game -- the first L appeared at Tile #93 (the highest possible would've been #95 given that there are four L's; the chance of that happening is probably around one-in-a-billion, no exaggeration).
For a game of this magnitude, the trips were terrible. So terrible, in fact, that this game set the new record for highest "non-trip" sum in a Top 50 game, here a whopping **600** points. The old record was 586, set in the 1st-place game. In Top 50 games, getting anything above 540 or so is rare. Getting 600 is unheard of.
All in all, a 20th-place game. :-)
Two more 1800+ games to eliminate all 1700's from the Top Fifty. :)
