Eating an ice lolly or ice cream in public is also antisocial, if you insist on doing the thing where you draw it in and out of the mouth. Save that for the bedroom you disgusting fucks. You just can't accept that you were a little bit aroused. Honestly I much preferred watching CF **** your **** t...

I watched the series 63 final, that's the only episode I can remember seeing in the last 12 months, and I read the recaps occasionally.

Jesus Christ, what is wrong with you idiots? If someone gave you the sequence Red, Red, Red and asked you to guess what's next, would you say Black? I don't have a calculator to hand but the chance of the next one being Red must be in the region of 7/8 (92%), assuming Bayesian sub-sampling.

I was wondering how other people compared the athletics at the Olympics with the World championships. To me, they're completely interchangeable, but sometimes from what people say on TV, it's as if they consider the Olympics to be "better". It might be partly because the Olympics are in L...

How great it is that people have been conditioned to think it's super witty to say that any man with curly hair looks like Brian May, even though most of them would have no idea who Brian May is.

It's probably harder to score 4 than 0, so well done Fred.

Charlie Reams

The chances of actually gaining from anticipating the start are very slim. Anything under 0.1s is a false start and as far as I understand, most athletes are probably gone by about 0.15s, so to guess a particular 0.05s window is very unlikely. It's similar to the debate about disallowing very fast ...

Looks okay to me. Due to an oddity of the system, Ned was #1 for a week, which is also the week in which you beat him.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

I have no idea when I first spotted a 9 while watching Countdown. I remember in primary school our teacher would play Countdown with us and I beat the Asian kid by spotting CREAMIEST. First one on Apterous I think was CABRIOLES. Turns out my first 9 on apterous was MONITORED. I got CABRIOLES the ne...

I suspect this discussion has been had before, but wouldn't it make more sense to split the entrants into three equally-sized divisions (by Pro Rank) after entries have closed? Possibly.

Has the advantage of also having eight letters like Octorock.

All these things will happen eventually, it's just a question of rolling them out gradually so they don't get boring, and occasionally figuring out something interesting to do with the numbers.

Actually I think this was the word that made me wonder why these words are being given to 800 level players.

That's been a 1 from the beginning. The change to 2s for new ones came after that was added.

Charlie Reams

That said, you really need to fix the rating system for not well tested conundrums after a duel, also. A lot of them which get like 3-4/70-80 people getting them right are staying 2s or even being downrated to 1s, which makes no sense. There's nothing wrong with the rating system, it just doesn't r...

I've decided to split this into a separate topic, because it's a worthwhile discussion and I am willing to reverse the current position according to popular opinion.

You fail to elaborate what you actually refer to, once the violence, looting and arson have been taken out of the picture. So actually, you're just sneering at all sides involved.

I quite like Trap! on the games front, it's a nice twist on the classic Wetrix-style "make a closed box before the enemies hit you" thing. Also I couldn't live without OI File Manager since the music player seems intent on not finding files I've downloaded unless they're in the Music folder.
