Re: Spoilers for Tuesday April 22nd 2014 (S70 P71)

Judging by the lack of posts in this thread, I assume that the website crashed. I wasn't able to access it at all! I thought it was just me. I would imagine other people were affected, hence the lack of posts here.

Re: Spoilers For Monday April 14th 2014

Tremendous game. Ciaran was really unlucky. In another game, he would have won. There is absolutely no shame in losing if you score a century!

And Glen Webb had two nines when he lost to Callum. I would assume there'll be a few more, particularly in the 30th Birthday Championship.

Cliff’s six away gives him five points. Susie shows them how its done with a nice solution.

Re: Peter Lee

Incredibly sad news. I watched a few of his games and he came across a really nice guy and someone who wouldn't hurt a fly. Unfortunately, I never had the chance to meet him but judging by Jen's comment, he truly was a great character. The Countdown community has lost a great man.

RIP Peter.

Re: Spoilers for Friday February 28th 2014 (S70 P40)

Personally, I think buzzing in order to give yourself extra time to solve the conundrum is very selfish and shows poor sportsmanship. Countdown has been a very honest gameshow since it began and there has been very little controversy, so I don't believe that the show's reputation should be besmirche...

I can only get 972 in the 1st numbers: ((7x8)-1-1)x(9x2)

Yeah, I was bit wary about whether it was actually satire or not and just humour. But either or, I would like to be known as a humorist rather than a satirist anyway, so there isn't really much harm done.

Or is it 7?
I was thinking on the lines of "6 wins" as three contestants lost after winning 6 games, but I suppose 7 can be unlucky as well if you see it as the contestants have lost their 7th game. Whatever floats your boat!
