Take 6: Results for Round 9

[Spiderman]

Thanks guys, for being so prompt with your cards. And since the Round 10 cards are obvious, I can post that round and we have finished this "set" (remember, we're playing first to 66 loses)

Here's how the columns look:

23(1).....55(8).....73(1).....89(1)
.............57(1)...................90(3)
.............61(1)...................93(1)
.............62(1)...................95(2)
.........................................98(1)

Cards to be played in order:

Melkor: 5
Apollo: 7
EricBess: 10
Gerode: 71

It looks like almost everyone decided to play low cards, since there's only 1 point at stake Melkor "wins" that battle, and decides to take the 73.

5(2).....23(1).....55(8).....89(1)
.........................57(1).....90(3)
.........................61(1).....93(1)
.........................62(1).....95(2)
.......................................98(1)

So the next two plays are pretty easy. Next Apollo:

5(2).....23(1).....55(8).....89(1)
7(1)..................57(1).....90(3)
.........................61(1).....93(1)
.........................62(1).....95(2)
.......................................98(1)

And then EricBess:

5(2).....23(1).....55(8).....89(1)
7(1)..................57(1).....90(3)
10(3)................61(1).....93(1)
.........................62(1).....95(2)
.......................................98(1)

Lastly, Gerode squeezed in the third column:

5(2).....23(1).....55(8).....89(1)
7(1)..................57(1).....90(3)
10(3)................61(1).....93(1)
.........................62(1).....95(2)
.........................71(1).....98(1)

Scores:

Melkor: 17
Apollo: 12
Gerode: 7
EricBess: 4

Round 10 is automatic because none of the cards are below a 10 so I know where they fit in.
