I saw the winner from last year is playing again... He says he played during his train commute, 45mins each way... He Def played like 20hrs a day, no other way
I depends on what you call "pretty close". I calculated there are probably the best 50,000 crusher left and going into the next round. Definitely not "pretty close" by my maths, given these will all be players who knew how to pass this round we have just played.
