Martin Dilke-Wing, Director at Morgans, finished 18th in the ‘Times National Crossword Solving Championship’ last week. Out of 172 finalists who were required to solve 3 puzzles in one of 2 qualifying sessions, he qualified 8th out of 83 from the second session (all correct in approximately 30 minutes) to get to the Grand Final of 24 where sadly he made one mistake on one of the 3 puzzles to finish 18th out of 24. His average time per puzzle was 13 minutes. This is still a personal best for Martin and this also means that he gets an automatic exemption from pre qualifying into next year’s finals.
Good stuff Martin!
