Backing George all the way, although he probably should have chosen a better series champ to become a regen of.

Can't see past Harry but let's go with my heart <3

it's cool!

I'm wondering if there's a way of seeing some of the games that you arent involved in - the ben w ahmed one looks a cracker for example

My travel dwelling friends certainly have less money than I do and i'm hardly swimming in cash. Only because you haven't actually *tried*. You could get 1.5 million Uzbek 1 tiyin coins for a mere pound at the latest exchange rate, and I dare say that's enough to swim in. Fair point We have our ente...

Dan, I recommend you read that last paragraph back and check your privilege. Puts me in mind of Loadsamoney. Weird comment So many people who do the jet setting living in other countries etc do not have a lot of money. They don't choose to spend their money on things like housing, having children e...

For rugby main event this year - there will be some form of food buffet at lunch time also. This is only because we're pushing the lunch break back to have 4 games before lunch and 4 after, so having something on hand will be helpful. I do think the easiest thing possible is that lunch isn't catered...

You're at a co:event. This is a co:event. It's not Countdown. It's not apterous. It's a co:event. So you're at a co:event and it's Bristol style. Conundrum time. It's a crucial conundrum. Pretty important game in the context of the day too. Both players buzz at around about the same time, although ...

Speaking of CASEIFORM, Adam solved it in his game but says he would've pronounced in SEE-ZI-FORM rather than CASE-I-FORM at a Lincoln style event, which could mean a host presumes he's answering with CEASIFORM and deny him the solve. Personally I'm fine with spelling being a part of cons for Bristo...

Bottom of you challenges list.

I've been mucking around with multiplayer. It's very prototype, but if anybody wants to do a head to head 20 conundrum game, let me know here (with your username). I can set up a game vs myself, or if you have another player in mind lmk who they are. Excited for this mode! I won't have a lot of tim...

Adam S Latchford

One additional check I did for added ones was (for super hard cons) to look up recent dictionary additions, to hunt through apterous for 9s that have never ever been a conundrum, and also to look at my list of every single available 9 that I procured (valid as of about 6 months ago), remove the plur...

Any chance we can have the results on here?

Adam S Latchford

It's good to see how much uproar there has been about this. Genuinely these issues are normally swept under the rug. Getting carried away was barely an excuse 30 years ago let alone now - it's all boomers who are seeing this in a light hearted way.

Adam S Latchford

Great final, worthy champion!
150 in a final is awesome, but the margin of victory against such a Strong player more impressive to me.

(50-9)x9-100 for an easy solution round 3

Adam S Latchford

Aware how good ronan is but you can't not back a Cappleman!

Adam S Latchford

Weird weird series, both seems like it's been really strong and really weak.

Regardless, very solid line up for the finals - Ronan Cillian final looks likely but you absolutely never know. Think all of the quarters that ronan isn't involved in aren't completely obvious to call a winner in

Dark mode. I recently got a new laptop and everything defaulted to dark mode including things like Google and Notepad. I had to find the right thing in settings to get rid of it. It was fucking depressing. I know it's the cool hipster thing these days but it's also rubbish, so it's swings and round...

Adam S Latchford

Austria and Poland my two favourites.
Thought lithuania was good
Think Slovenia will do well too.
Quite a weak year imo!

I'd back myself in either of the top two against basically anybody but on the off chance i lose at both, might aswell throw a random chance one in to try and secure the bag

Funny that the results of Karaoke and Park Run garner more attention than the event itself. Thanks to all involved for running the event!

I do recall that I was going to give a prize away for karaoke - however I have a slight issue in that I do not remember karaoke. Therefore - i'll pay for the next co event for the winning pair (that they wish to go to, not just co leeds). If not on facebook - let me know on here as to who should win...

I probably had a better chance of doing well pre apterous as the standards in the last 15 to 20 years have improved immensely Oh massively - apto has made the standard truly ridiculous. Some amazing players pre apto but it's genuinely night and day levels at the moment. Quite sad about that still!

Adam S Latchford

I think the key thing is don't apply until you're ready. I don't think people on the whole apply unless they feel ready I would have thought. But hindsight is a wonderful thing 😊 I dunno. I think people feeling ready means very different things. I was ready to go on when I did - just wanting to go ...

Yes sadly incredibly infuriatingly there are strikes 16th and 18th.

People coming on friday and leaving sunday will be mostly unaffected.

When more comes out about the strikes i'll look into all the alternatives for people to get up here for it. The events still gonna be a banger

I think if player 2 has done anything like this they shouldn't get a second chance at it.

I was in this spot. I had the word and buzzed first but my opponent said the word first. The host opted to redo the conundrum. I can understand why, and was happy to go with the host's judgement in the moment and since it's just fun and friendly competition and best kept without tension I had no re...

Player 1 buzzes Player 2 buzzes just (but very clearly) after and says the word. Player 1 says they had the word and they're reputable.

The issue I guess I have is DBS checks. The amount of people who have DBS checks that then have been convicted of crimes against children is ridiculous.

What would we class children as for clarification if the answer is not allowing children?

Ban all under 16s
Ban all under 18s
Ban all under 16s. 16 and 17 year olds allowed if accompanied by an adult.

Let's see what condition i'm like on friday night before committing - but i am certainly due a park run!

Adam S Latchford

The two big risks of risky numbers pic vs competent player at numbers absolutely backfired in this tournament - not surprising people struggled to pull the trigger on going risky. Against 10 of the 15 players I wouldnt have played safe personally - happened to play two I felt safe was best

Magical final to top off a magical series. Loved everyone I met, it was an absolute joy and privilege to sit as the fraud amongst the legends for this. Ahmed you were amazing - you solved 3 cons compared to the other 15 players 3. James - a truly top performance in the final. This was absolutely the...

No worries Andres! A solid 19 so far as i'm writing this. We can accommodate many many more so let's make this an absolute banger. Once we get past a certain number we can start talking about meals and entertainment plans a plenty. We'll have a professional karaoke set up at the place if that's what...

As for the game I thought I played well - enjoyed myself. Cecil meant that my numbers pick was basically irrelevant round 14 anyway. Spotting amblyopic is annoying but if i had a second guess i wasn't going that either, only on my third one. James a lovely guy and deserved it on the day. My biggest ...

What a fight to the finish. I was going to try SOCIO- something on the conundrum and backed out of it! Well done both. I wonder if James will choose something other than 1 large in the final. We just all got caught up in the awkward numbers side of the draw where it makes our choices a bit more dif...

My opinion: a non-obscure conundrum, even if it's solved on a buzzer race, is preferable to an obscure word that goes unsolved. I still think 2018 Graeme’s view on conundrums is one of the best posts this forum has ever seen. Having searched for a few of these online here are a couple of conundrums...

TIL Adam Latchford is the first player to defeat two members of the 1,000 club – back-to-back as well. Giant killer indeed. After this game, he was moaning about the CoC draw making it impossible for him to play both Elliott and Luke to collect them all :) Yeah I'm still salty cos I'm the only one ...

Perfectly reasonable numbers miss confused as to how you're surprised. Numbers way tougher in the studio.
I did 22x21 for it which is the true sexy way

Just win 7 then win the series from there

Numbers: James goes for something different from what we know and starts off with 1 Large, but Stu pulls out the big tactics and goes for 4 Large in R6 with another manageable target. Then came R9 with James switching back to his favourite 6 Small, and I'm sure the two "1"s would have thr...
