Yes I have been using CountGen2 and I'm baffled that no O's have come out in 3 games. There must be a fault with the system but I can assure you it is not a fix. I have nothing against the letter O :lol: EDIT - I have just randomly clicked all the 40 vowels on CountGen2 and did not get any letter O'...

JasonCullen

I noticed that there was no O's but it was an entirely random selection by CountGen so it is strange no O's came out all match

Oh well, I should've ignored the rules and mentioned my own quote so I could've got an extra point

I've give you an extra point because the bogus rule was my fault

JasonCullen

No problem Jono

. Anytime

JasonCullen

Here is the overall leaderboard for my "Can I quote you on that?" quiz. 1. Dinos Syfris 21 J2. Jim Bentley 17 J2. Jon Corby 17 4. Paul Howe 15 5. Charlie Reams 10 J6. Jon O'Neil 9 J6. Michael Wallace 9 8. Joseph Bolas 7 ;) A very well done to Dinos who scored an impressive 21 out of 25 :D....

JasonCullen

Here are the answers to my "Can I quote you on that?" quiz. Thank you to the site admins Ben and Charlie for helping me make this quiz possible to run and, of course, thanks to all who participated and I hope you liked this different type of quiz as opposed to my usual knowledge based ones...

JasonCullen

Another good quality recap

. Its fair to say that this was the tightest COOT match of this series but well done to both Matts for putting on quite a spectacle

. Matthew Green could be a dark horse for the plate competition mind you

JasonCullen

Great recap Dinos

. I like being the host so I would be more than willing to host your match (providing Heather gets back to you!). Well played to Richard and Howard for putting together an interesting clash with fairly dubious numbers and letters

JasonCullen

Thanks to all who have contributed so far. The answers will be revealed Wednesday evening hopefully

JasonCullen

Just a reminder guys that Howard Somerset vs Richard Priest match is being played at 12pm tomorrow on msn. So if you want to watch or contribute, add my email address in the msn thread as I am the host for this match

. Hope to see some of you there

Yeah they did. Even though I was playing against you, I still noticed they said it

JasonCullen

I've been informed that Howard vs Richard will take place tomorrow lunchtime with myself being the host

. Should be a good game

JasonCullen

Start of a new series. Start of new spoilers. Post them here

Not really. That could be taken out of context to another topic

Since I'm not entering, I've had a look, and you can still cheat.

Grrr

We have to arrange a time first - when's best with you Martin??

Sure thing James

. I can be your host too providing Martin doesn't object. However, it must not clash with Matt vs Matt clash

JasonCullen

how does this all work? me and richard priest (who is also wondering) have never played online before. thanks, Matt. would be great if you could host my game Jason :D No problem Matt Coates. As long as its fine by you and Matt Green then I will certainly be your host. Just post me a time and date y...

JasonCullen

Who decides who are the hosts of these matches? I am willing to be a host in anyone's match since I got a very fortunate bye in the first round! Get in touch with me if you want me to be your host

(presuming that is allowed Jono!)

JasonCullen

I'll do the draw at 10 or 11 tonight.

Is this a live draw which we can spectate and speculate on?

Nothing worse than raging women wearing other womens panties

It went great Jason, we've been inundated with women sending their panties into the office and clambering to get your phone number.

Well I was asked by Countdown to appear on the ITN national lunchtime news on Tuesday! I was asked on my views on the governments idea of having specialist teachers in our schools :? . It was a live interview so I was literally crapping myself when I went on air :oops: . But overall I think it went ...

JasonCullen

Ok smart alecs you have correctly spotted me contradicting myself

. Forget the rule you have pointed out and just put your name to the quote number which you think you said

. But I can trust everyone not to copy the people who have claimed their answers

.

JasonCullen

Just face it Damian you chose an "easy" conundrum and MINESHAFT or PAYMASTER would have been worthy final conundrums. Only joking Damian :lol: . Apart from SCORELINE and GLYCERINE, I thought you're conundrums were very good, in fact, brilliant (unlike Joseph!) Hope you enjoyed your stint ...

JasonCullen

Hmmm. We are getting a wide range of answers which is great

. But I'm surprised some people can't even remember their own quotes let alone other peoples

JasonCullen

I'm surprised no-one got that conundrum! I wanted them to go to the audience because I got SCORELINE in literally 3 seconds but they didn't have time Wrong Jason, We had bags of time. I was all for it but Kate said you were just TOO hideous to ruin the climax of a final with............. :lol: . I ...

Do you mind, I am the one who normally braggs about how easy they are

I'm guessing you got it

Well done David

Congrats to Richard too but you were unlucky with the letters and numbers today. They were horrible

I'm surprised no-one got that conundrum! I wanted them to go to the audience because I got SCORELINE in literally 3 seconds but they didn't have time

75 + (100+50)/25) = 81 x (5+3) = 648 as 1st numbers alternative

Me and Dinos had AORTAS

I'll get the ball rolling then 1. NATIONALISED/DESALINATION 7. QUANTITATIVE 8. CIRCUMSTANCE 13. TRIGONOMETRY 14.

Today is the series 58 grand final between David O'Donnell and Richard Priest :D . The quarters and semis have not disappointed so far in terms of entertainment and word quality so hopefully this match will be no different ;) . On paper, David would go into this game as the favourite but can Richard...

Sorry Paul and Corby

Here is another hyperconundrum alphabet constructed by yours truly :) . Apologies if these have been done before at a Countdown comp or have been repeated in this thread. N.B. Forumites are only permitted to do a maximum of 5 conundrums as this is a team effort and not a one man show. The quota ban ...

Normal service will be resumed once the quiz ends. I'm planning to end the quiz at the start of next week (probably Tuesday) so forumites who want a crack at this quiz must ask promptly :D .

It should now be impossible to cheat by searching, but points will be given for particularly creative ways of cheating. Seems a bit excessive to ban searching for one quiz in the off-topic forum. People might still want to search for other things! Crazy! :evil: Hopefully, it will all be worth it Ge...

The following question; 27. Which European football team knocked Blackburn Rovers out of the UEFA Cup qualifying rounds in September last year? seems to be causing problems.

JasonCullen

Just a minor mistake michael. You have got one phantom letter in your possible conundrum which is hindering your chance to get bonus points

JasonCullen

It should now be impossible to cheat by searching, but points will be given for particularly creative ways of cheating. Thanks Charlie :D .

Here is another quiz which is based on forumites' memories of fellow forumites' comments on the forum. The aim of the game is to identify which member of our illustrious countdown forum said the following 25 comments. This is a change from my usual brain-bending quizzes which involve intellect where...

JasonCullen

Just have a quick look at the questions again Stewart

. There is just an odd mistake in one of your answers which is consequently hindering your chance of getting the conundrum

.

But I commend yours and Dinos' good efforts

JasonCullen

This has arguably been the best match of the series. A really enthralling game in my opinion

JasonCullen

Its about time David was made to dig deep for his win

. I've always wondered how David would cope under immense pressure but he's come through it. Well done David

. By the way David, you only beat me by 7 points on this game because you beat me to the conundrum

JasonCullen

Its much closer than I would have expected beforehand

I had HEAVE

I had SAPONIN too
