fingersonthefrets: What I meant by win bonus was that you automatically get £50000 for not being bombed, which becomes £125000. I don't think that has been added on yet. Well, if you don't want it, I'll have it...

I think I have found the source of the problem of the missing round in "power of 10":

That is a typo. There are 8 rounds.

So it's a 8! chance over 9^8. 40,320/4304621 is 0.0000936 whatever.
Take the reciprocal and that gives me 1 in 1,067. Better edit that!
Added a bonus to fotf since I forgot.

LET'S START ROUND 3.

Sorry for any confusion, you only place 1 bomb each round. If you collect a hidden nitrous you may place 3 bombs.

Why Latigan?

For future abbreviation, I prefer Arcanus, but Latigan is ok.

You didn't pick within 24 hours. You're still in the game, and you get a PM reminding you that it's your turn. You have 48 hours to pick next time.

BE_nSPIRED gets warned too.
