You can count it as a 12-max. Most people won't be playing against someone when they watch.

Maths. Easy. Ignoring my apterous superstats, I suppose there is a correlation between Countdown and real life. Having always been fantastic at Maths - indeed, A* for IGCSE (predicted) and A* for Statistics GCSE (predicted), and having grades never lower than A in the subject, I've always done well...

14-maxed today. Just that pesky 3rd numbers let me down. Quite a good game that.

It's a little bit moronic... don't you think?

I'll start a fight with the closest person to my fighting capability there.

Matt, is Indra free to kick the shit out of me?

So, any early predictions for the winner of series 70? Looks wide open this time. Obviously it's early days, but I'd say that whoever sits in the champion's chair for the game immediately after Pete' first game has to be a hot favourite, given what we know so far. Problem is, that could easily be o...

I thought of the Little Chef a lot when I booked my cheaper room which has a delicious breakfast included in the price.

My personal opinion is that with the exception of what Jordan has already said, questioning the inability to at least get within 3 when you have a 5 and 100, I personally don't really CARE what the standard on the show is. I play more against the letters that appear than care about what the contesta...

Also, did anyone notice the mega cock-up by the new sponsors of the show right at the beginning :?: :?: No, what was it?

I read the article and was surprised by how well written and factually correct it was compared to most things I've seen written about the show, so couldn't disagree more.

I was surprised by agreeing with you, Jack.

I don't think it would be that confusing to have players like Eoin, Oliver etc. It's happened before (e.g. Jon Corby), and I'm not sure that the issue even needs to be addressed. Just have them on.

It HAS to be a combination of the following: Winning (games and comps) Scoring (inc' big scores and centuries) Maxing (both of points and rounds) Would you add more to this list of important KPIs?

So what makes Jack Hurst third? Giles Hutchings, for example, recorded 94 maxes and won the series. Edward McCullagh recorded 95 and won his series. Why do you feel as though Jack Hurst had the second best statistics? Where do your yardsticks lie here, Martin? Yeah, that's a good question. See, to ...

Example: two people play an octorun which has exactly the same maximum, in this case, it's 1000. Player 1 scores 964 and gets 118/120 maxes. Player 2 scores 965 and gets 85/120 maxes. As you can see, the only way in which Player 1 could have dropped 36 points from two rounds is if he/she had failed...
