Mornington Crescent

[Sultan Bhargash]

You remember the tokens I got for having to turn around at Heathrow? Of course you don't, because I've just chashed them in to slow the LV long enough to park it, pending challenge, in the endgame at Mornington Crescent. Whew! Good on you Padma for pointing out that error; I wasn't about to question the math but I had been worried by what I had perceived as a negative balance until I realized about the physical loop at Heathrow.

Congratulations, Sultan! Well-played!

My math was almost perfect. The problem arose when we merged the threads from the trifurcation, and I forgot to flip the sign of the resultant after each step-down, which threw off all my subsequent calculations. If I had done it correctly, it would be me standing in the Winner's Circle. Ah, well, c'est la vie.

Congratulations again.
