Hypothetical Scrabble Question.

[Xaston]

Bob is of above average intelligence with a greater than average vocabulary. Bob only plays Scrabble about 4 times a year. His Q-vocabulary and and obscure 8-letter word vocabulary is clearly a joke compared to any serious Scrabble player.

How many tiles would Bob need to have in his rack to have an edge over a World-Class Scrabble player?

I proposed this on a smaller forum and proposed that "Bob" would have a slightly edge with roughly 11 tiles. The first two responses think I am way off.
