Jonathan Rawlinson in Series 66...
...and in the 30th Birthday Championship.

Jonathan Rawlinson was an octochamp in and the runner-up of Series 66, and a semi-finalist in the 30th Birthday Championship. He made his Co-event debut at COHUD in 2012, which was then followed up by an appearance at CobliviLon.

Series 66

Rawlinson was the seventh contestant to solve all eight conundrums in their heat games.

He also became only the fourth person in the show's history after Gareth Williams, James Martin and Bhavin Manek to win the last eight preliminaries of the series and return as the No. 1 seed for the finals the following day.

Finals

Rawlinson won his quarter-final and semi-final with centuries but in a low-scoring grand final against Jack Worsley, Rawlinson lost the ultimate match by ten points after his incorrect answer to the crucial conundrum of TINYROLES.

30th Birthday Championship

Rawlinson returned in 2013, as one of 41 contestants that took part in the 30th Birthday Championship.

He won his first match against Ed McCullagh, after beating him on a second conundrum by 104 – 94.

Rawlinson then beat Andrew Hulme by 98 – 91 on a crucial conundrum, after he unscrambled HOTFRAPPS.

After defeating Tom Rowell, his next match was against Neil Zussman and he was one point short from achieving a max game in his quarter-final.

He then played against Jack Hurst in an epic semi-final. The battle remained level for the first ten rounds before Rawlinson took a six-point lead which became a one-point deficit, a round later before Hurst nicked in with the conundrum of TURNMOIST after three seconds to win by 116 – 105.
