Re: Spoilers for Thursday 22nd January (CofC XIII QF1)
I'd just like to say how magnanimous I felt David was in defeat. He always congratulated his opponent, especially after his 9 letter spot, and was still cracking jokes on the last numbers game, even though he knew he was beaten by then.

Todays and tomorrows shows were actually recorded in the morning, ( being the last shows of the current series), with the quarter-finals starting in the afternoon,so he would have missed the cut-off point.Ben Hunter wrote:If Denis wins today, or scores more than 62 points, he will qualify for the final.

Re: New Host
Jeff Stelling taking over from Des? Whatever next? Who will take over from Carol? Maths Le Tissier? To sum up, and without wishing to take away anything from Maths Le Tissier, I think his appointment might divide opinion. However, his selection would certainly add interest, and could easily multipl...

Because of Carol's illness and the subsequent late recording of programmes, Lee's 4th show was recorded on the same day that his 1st show went out on TV. He rang to say he had lost just as his 1st show was about to...

Re: Spoilers for Thursday 18th of September
Not as impressive as I would have liked Charlie. One of the first things I did was add and take away 25 from the total, and realising 891 was divisable by 9 I tried myself to get 99 from the remaining numbers and failed miserably!

Re: Spoilers for Thursday 18th of September
After playing around for the last hour-hour since the show ended, I finally managed to get the 2nd numbers game! I would suspect there is an easier answer but I haven't found it. Anyway here goes: 9 x 10 + 25 = 115 x 8 = 920 - 54 ( 9 x 6) = 866.

Re: Spoilers for Thursday 11 September 2008
Alternative to last numbers :- 25 x 4 - 1 = 99 x 8 = 792 + 2.
Just been catching up on the spoilers for the last couple of days, and see that Charlie is due to air in October. I expect he'll be getting reams of posts after his appearance(s)!

Re: Spoilers for Tuesday 9 September 2008
It just goes to show how many ways there are to solve these numbers games. I had a much more complicated version for the R5 100 + 25 - 8 = 117 x 7 = 819 -10 -5!! Way out of time too!
