Unofficial Times cryptic RTC contest No. 4 – results

Mark Goodliffe returns from holiday in sparkling form to win the championship scoring by over 20 minutes.  Tony Sever grabs second mainly by virtue of a good time for the tough Saturday puzzle.  

In the RTC table, the top three places are the same, then talbinho gans from his quick times for correct puzzles, as do Sabine and fgbp. 

(Richard G’s times didn’t quite tally with his accompanying comment.  I’ve done my best to work out what he meant from daily comments, but had to guess at the Friday time.  If it should have been the slower of the last two times rather than the quicker, the ranking positions in both tables are unchanged.)

  1. Sorry I entered my times wrongly, but you guessed right about what I intended, Peter. I missed out one of the duplicated times, and erroneously added in the average figure that I have in the column after Friday. Thanks for spotting it.
