Was that Norm Ahmad solving the conundrum? May have got muddled so apologies if so.

Now I'm confused and/or blocked. Hard to tell which.

Haha glad I confused you. It was more a comment at the 100+ views but no responses :p

Thanks for the help everyone

I've managed to get some RF headphones and an adaptor for total cost £45.50

Now I can hear every snap, crackle and pop on the vinyl.

Adam Dexter

Hi, I'm looking to connect a pair of wireless headphones to an amp (connected to a turntable). This is because the turntable/speaker set up is right underneath our bedroom and her ladyship does not appreciate the dulcet tones of Dire Straits and Leonard Cohen :lol: I haven't yet got the headphones. ...

Is there a prize for doing well based on your seeding? I could claim to have been playing the long game if so.

Erm... another conundrum, as many times as necessary, then cut out all but 1 wrong and the solved one usually That's not what I meant. I wonder if Paul could've won in that scenario because someone definitely would've had to break the tie since they are not allowed for the last 27.5 years. I don't ...

Thanks! Looks like my multiple if formula won't work as it's max 64.

This is what I'm looking at btw

Adam Dexter

Hi

Looking to build a massive Multiple IF formula on Excel.

How many combos of days of the week are there, allowing for days to be either there or not?

E.g.

Week could be MTW, MTFS, SMWFS, SMTWTFS or anywhere between

R1 the 'th' in anthelion is pronounced as in anthill. It is a contraction of anti-helion, opposite or against the sun. Similarly ant-helminthic, which helps eliminate worms. Lovely.

Of course, the *correct* way to do it is ((10 x 8) + 3) x 9
Which Mark already said, stop robbing.
Both of them used too many brackets, so I think I can steal this one for myself.

It's (10x8+3)x9.

You're welcome.

Not this again #bracketgate

Well done Philip once again!

Any idea what time the meal is likely to finish? Last train home is 20:41 :/ obvs need enough time to get to Temple Meads so wonder if it's cutting it too fine?

The date of this makes it Anti Christmas (for me anyway). I always have a rule that no mince pies or mulled wine until Advent starts - Advent this year starts on Dec 3rd (4 Sundays before Christmas). Bring on the anti-Christmas theme

Me and Tracey Coming in on train at Birmingham New Street at 9am, is there public transport from the station to venue.

Yep you'll want a bus heading to Edgebaston or the Hagley Road... there are loads that head down there as it's an artery road to the rest of the West Mids / M5

(Conundrum)

Adam Dexter

For 362 I did:

75 - 25 =50
100/50 = 2
50 +10 + 2 =62
62 x 6 = 372

Adam Dexter

Really pleased with my play today. Beat John by 66 points and got the numbers that Rachel missed.

Think that's my biggest margin of victory against a (presumably) octochamp ever.

Also, is anyone getting in to Reading station at about 10? Be nice to have a travelling buddy for the bus (cuz they is so big n scary)

Adam Dexter

Anyone going to this want to grab some food after? My train is 20:23 so would need to be swift (no George for me this year

) - looks like an O'Neills near to the station though so that could be good

Adam Dexter

Interested in this one, but trying to work out a way of getting there on time. Train gets me there from Kidderminster at 11:21 - might do it with a drive to Nuneaton first though which would get me there an hour earlier... will wait until advance tickets become available before confirming though

Adam Dexter

Hi,

Just looking into this one - rather than getting a P&R bus, am I right in thinking Trenchard St is £6 for if I was to park 9:30 - 19:00? Just seems a lot simpler than getting a bus...

P.S if anyone from between Birmingham and Bristol wants, I'm happy to pick up on the Saturday morning.

Alternate solve for R14 in the time:

(((9+9) × 6) + 10) x 4 = 472

Adam Dexter

I know how you all love alternate numbers solutions, so here's my R9 effort:

100 - 6 - 4 - 3 = 87
5 + 4 = 9
87 x 9 = 783

Did anyone think it odd in R5 when Stephen said "risky 7", challenger went with 6, obv declared first, then Stephen says "Oh it wasn't risky, PRIMATE". Made me wonder if it was a dummy. Like he said "risky" to ward challenger off declaring 7, to stop challenger getting points. Tactical play? Within ...

Also, VASELINE? Susie disallowed recently in a game, but then offered in Catsdown the other night. Has the dictionary changed in the interim? I don't understand.

Imagine this: Numbers round - 100 1 1 7 5 2 -----> 735 C1 declares 735. He says 100 + 5 = 105 105 x 7 = 745 Now he is 10 away, and can't make the declaration. As his maths was correct for 735, should he be given 10 points? I note that in Apterous it's quite possible to chance upon an answer in (to y...
