On a set of problems which the readers found surprisingly difficult,PW Jackson's score of 750 was sufficient to edge out Rob Adams with740. Tied for third place were John Bakovic and Jack Carter. Interestinglyenough some panelists scored very high on this set, with Snowie's 790being topped by George Klits's perfect score of 800.
