to follow papyg999's remark, nearly 100% chances to be trumped just considering played puzzles

The highest diamond in papy999's last pattern was 9.3, so we've beaten that. This rating has a 51.4% chance of being beaten, over all games, but in papy999's last game the highest 9.9 was 9.9/9.9/9.7.

good luck, but a submission that has good chances to be trumped can lock you at the right moment, think about that
