 (0 comments) | 3: Tudo Azul Artifact Bonus: 1 7 points Tudo Azul (with fond memories of Templeton the Rat) visits SQUEAKY cleaners. (23 points.) Toodles' research leads him to conclude that the letters Q, Z, and X are overrepresented in commercial signage, compared to their Scrabble frequencies. The result of Octopedal influence, perhaps? |

 (0 comments) | 19: Linus 0 points Linus is a big fan of the writing of Nobel Prize winning writer Naguib Mahfouz, and what's not to like? He provides insight to the average lives of conservative Muslims living in the heart of Cairo, neither glamorizing nor condemning their unique and thought-provoking existence. And the fact that his last name scores 24 Scrabble points doesn't hurt either. |
| Judge's notes: OK, standard scrabble rules apply apparently... But still, commercial signs only please.
The differences in font and letter positioning clearly indicate that "z" and "square" are two separate words. Judge: Mike |
