Was chuffed to achieve a personal best of 143 while playing along. However, am even more chuffed by the high standard; this must be one of the greatest games between two non-(known-to-be-)Apterites.

And rounding off the pantheon of best training practices for each Countdown discipline... it's very useful to learn all 9-letter words that are plurals, present-tense -S verbs, capitalised, not in the ODO or obscene to train for conundrums.
