I can't really see Craig's max percentage score ever being beaten but I think Kirk will get a higher overall score. I prefer Kirk because of his dedication to Countdown knowing he may never make the big time again and because he seems a little more human. A little.

Jimmy Gough

Everybody loves a good dive really.

Referees who are deliberately controversial to get a name for themselves need to fuck off though...

Exactly what I thought. Arsehole!

Yeah, I mean how dare he choose what numbers to pick to try and reduce his defecit? Wanker.

Jimmy Gough

It's not the fact that I find him offensive, I just find the dialogue really repetitive and sometimes he doesn't list the DC beaters. He is just really shit IMO.

Jimmy Gough

I won't be leaving apterous till Sunday so any evening is good for me.

Quality game with Steven Anderson

I think it would be a psycological advantage to come up with an obscure or crazy word. It would show to your opponent you have a superior word knowledge (you're a lexonerd) and even though you got the same amount of points it would seem like an advantage. Well, I dunno, I haven't been there but don'...

Jimmy Gough

Is it really that hard? You just do crap for a couple of games but after that you quickly get the hang of it. You'd probably pick it up quicker if you played a few games rather than read instructions on how to play. I don't see how it is intimidating at all but, meh, others might disagree.

Jimmy Gough

Inspired by Mark Tournoff, how about a graph that monitors the number of maxes you score per game? It would be a cool way to monitor your progress

That's a regular game of Countdown so, er, no.

Not sure what I did there! I meant JB's game

Ah nice, cheers for the info Neil. You're becoming quite the quizzer, clearly! What would your 'hilarious' team name have been? Yeah, I've caught the bug :) We hadn't got as far as choosing a name yet, but there would've been 3 maths students, so you can come up with your own incredibly witty jokes...

Am I the only one who thought it said "Penny Wank"?

I love Olav.

RENEGADO always reminds me of Conor. Good game, they're lucky they weren't Bevinsed.

I offer my congrats too. Well done Zussy!

Could I ask whether you will be appearing on the TV show as a contestant in the near future? *sigh* We already know Kirk becomes an octochamp with a total of 892, missing just one 9 - ALLANTOIC - and managed to get 7/8 conundrums, being narrowly beaten to FREEZABLE. My personal highlight was his fi...

I wonder if everyone thinks that their own series was the best?

Ignoring the fact that my...

Jimmy Gough

Speaking of word learning, on Craig's website he says he got through "well over 20,000 words".

What percentage of the dictionary is that? I mean that is crazy, then again he is the greatest player ever, in terms of ability. That figure's just staggering though.

Mine's 9th of March in Canterbury, anyone going to be there ? I thought you were applying in like a year's time, what's changed since? Yeah, I was going to but I just wanna get it over and done with.
