Rounds: Here.
Richard returns to the topic of Brett's movie catalogue, and asks what his favourite movie is. Brett responds that it is The Lord of the Rings, and since that is three movies specifically the last one of the trilogy. He then enthuses a bit about the upcoming filming of The Hobbit (which I think at that stage was only going to be one movie), and adds that he would like to go to New Zealand to see that.
Tonight's challenger is Belinda Smith, a physiology student and research assistant whose current project is investigating Alzheimer's disease. Belinda states that because of ageing populations it is imperative that something be done about Alzheimer's disease, particularly in Australia. The project she is working on involves studying both the cognitive and pathological effects of Alzheimer's disease, and has many clinical implications; she thinks it is very exciting and important work.
Belinda got an early lead with a good find in the first round, and then extended it in the fourth to have a decent advantage. Brett gained back some of that ground in the next letters round; then an invalid word from him conceded some of those points back once more but he gained in both the remaining numbers rounds to be ahead by two points going into the conundrum. Neither was able to solve it, so Brett scraped home with the win, 28 to 26.
I was all over the place today, finding better words a bit too late and overlooking a couple of basic observations in the numbers rounds that would have simplified my life greatly. I did manage to get the conundrum quickly today, but was disappointed at missing so many findable maxima.
