No, I've tried all kinds of things to get my Mac to run a different version of Java - mine's up to date according to software update but that doesn't seem to be up to date enough for Apterous - but I've had luck. I usually manage to play using a Windows VM I have installed but it tends to be a bit f...

That was great! And so close! Well done Kirk, I loved seeing how excited you were and was glad Jeff mentioned why - I wasn't sure they would.

I run a forum where we filter swear words automatically (which seems to be what that community wants) but I find it causes comprehension problems by starring out the whole word and people tend to use f*ck etc in order that we know what they are saying, or use creative alternatives. I find it rather ...

That does make it quite seriously bizarre then! Thanks for clarifying.

Best story of the day: Ann Abel's filming guest was this extremely aggravating Jewish woman Did you mean Ann Abel (who Kirk beat yesterday) or the lady Kirk played today (Fiona?) - I could see Fiona's guest having a reason to complain (sort of anyway) but not Ann's (though that might make the story...

I'm a little late here having been avoiding anything Countdown related for weeks as I've only just caught up using 4OD... I just wanted to say congratulations to Junaid, and a mix of commiserations and congratulations to Charlie and all the other finalists too. The last three months have been the fi...

How many shows are filmed each day?

Ta, I suspected as much!

How about UNPOSTED?

I was surprised Carol didn't get the first numbers too, I thought my solutions were simpler for the others too.

(75+8)*2*2 + 50 = 382
5*5*25 + (7*6) - 2 = 665
2*4*100 + 6*5 + 5 = 835

I got that it'd be CIMBA... from Simba in 'The Lion King', and extrapolated the rest, although I'd never heard of it before.

I spent the whole commercial break thinking "I'm sure there were two Os in Baloo...."

White (WALL) Black White Black - two hats of each colour so let's call them: ann (wall) carol susie des if des could see two white hats or two black hats then he could be sure he was wearing the other colour. since he can see carol in black & susie in white he can't rule out either colour for h...

Just thought I'd say hello! This looks like a friendly & intelligent forum. I have barely seen Countdown for years - when did they add in extra rounds? I used to watch after school in the mid 80s, and again when I was supposed to be thesis writing in the mid 90s. Tuned in a couple of weeks ago w...
