Ep 413: Margaret Zimmer, Vishal Gandhi (March 28, 2012)

Margaret likes train travel, but somewhat longer than normal commuting journeys.  She recently took the Ghan from Adelaide to Darwin with a friend.  They had a fantastic time; it took two and a half days to make the trip, and since they were in economy class the cabin was just big enough for them to put the bunks down in order to sleep at night.  Margaret calls it an "interesting time", adding that it was really great and they met lots of interesting people.

Tonight's challenger is civil engineer Vishal Gandhi.  Apparently he has quite a good memory; at work there are monthly meetings, and he is able to recall the contents of them from a couple of years back.  That could be very helpful on occasion, for sure.


Margaret got off to an early lead, and kept extending it in the ensuing rounds.  Vishal scored only twice overall, once with a just-barely-in-range answer in the last numbers round, and even though the conundrum proved to be too difficult for them both Margaret cruised to a 37 to 10 victory.

I had another pretty good game, including finding a full monty at last.  The rounds I missed were difficult finds, and although I also missed the conundrum that full monty kept me happy.  Another comfortable win, and a pretty decent week so far.
