Pedro Martínez: In Hyper, I believe it's 8.

I can make a sequence of 11 passes. Start with two stones on your 6 point; one stone on the bar. Opponent has a blot on the 24, and two stones on 23. Now:

  1. Roll 1-2. Play bar-24, 24-22. Opponent rolls 6-6 (pass)

  2. Roll 1-2. Play 22-21, 21-19. Opponent rolls 6-6 (pass)

  3. Roll 1-2. Play 19-18, 18-16. Opponent rolls 6-6 (pass)

  4. Roll 1-2. Play 16-15, 15-13. Opponent rolls 6-6 (pass)

  5. Roll 1-2. Play 13-12, 12-10. Opponent rolls 6-6 (pass)

  6. Roll 1-2. Play 10-9, 9-7. Opponent rolls 6-6 (pass)

  7. Roll 1-2. Play 7-5, 6-5. Opponent rolls 5-5 (pass)

  8. Roll 1-2. Play 6-4, 5-4. Opponent rolls 4-4 (pass)

  9. Roll 1-2. Play 5-3, 4-3. Opponent rolls 3-3 (pass)

  10. Roll 1-2. Play 4-2, 3-2. Opponent rolls 2-2 (pass)

  11. Roll 1-2. Play 3-1, 2-1. Opponent rolls 1-1 (pass)


Changes your roll 1-2 11 times in a row while your opponent rolls the appropriate double: 1 in 8459117637862050464804269719552. (If the entire populate of the world (6.75 billion people) rolls 22 times a second, it still will only happen about once every 40 trillion years - a time span about 3000 times the estimated age of the universe).

..... so what you are saying if 11 passes in Hyper is made into an achievement, it should be worth a lot of points?
