Kai Laddiman was a finalist in Series 59. He won eight games with a top score of 105, including the nine letter word THIRTEENS. Laddiman was just eleven years old and attracted a lot of national media attention because of his age. Laddiman is the second youngest Octochamp ever, behind Allan Saldanha, and the youngest to achieve it for 20 years. Laddiman returned for the Series 59 in December and beat Debbi Flack on a crucial conundrum. In the semi-final he faced #1 seed Charlie Reams. Laddiman went 14 - 0 after two rounds, but couldn't keep up the same pace and when Reams spotted SUNDIAL in the final letters round, the game was effectively over. Both players scored on the next numbers game, but neither player could solve LAMEBRAIN, which was solved by Jo Brand in Dictionary Corner.
