4 wins for Robin. I call that the curse amount. But yeah Robin is getting really well. In a way he's kinda like moose.

He wasn't, I was so shocked that he didn't even get an invite, especially as there's only one from S76.
If that's the only basis you have for his case, I'm not surprised he wasn't invited at all.

Why?

What with Rhys wondering about Annie, I'm wondering if Jeff Clayton was invited?

Cool. Thanks. I might drop it though. I don't need to know much that I won't find out if I get on.

Oh. Sorry about that

What do you mean?

Owen Carroll

Hey guys. I have a few questions for if I get into countdown. First one is, who here watches games being recorded live occasionally?

I think she was invited but declined.
Yeah, that's what I'm asking. Did she say no, or was she never asked? Either way, shame.

Yeah. I'd rather Annie over one or two others

No. Wish she was though

Well no quadruple octochamp then

Cheers Owen

Sure thing man

Owen Carroll

This series is like series 59. No octochamps for ages and then a bunch at once

Owen Carroll

Bad luck today Stephen but well done cause you played really well.

Owen Carroll

Could I give the three people I'm expecting to be the winner?

Owen Carroll

Only 14 more hours!

Owen Carroll

Can't wait to see you Stephen. Best of luck!

Owen Carroll

Good game. Well done on the conundrum Toby. Give your mother my commiserations

Owen Carroll

By Monday we could have triple octochampdom! (I think that's the first time ever)

Owen Carroll

That was a brilliant comeback by Dave! Just shows that you should never give up even if the odds are stacked against you at the late stage... Alternative for R6: (50 + 3) x (10 + 6) + 9 I agree. Tons of examples. Chris Thorn against Sam prouse, Paul Harper and Phil Davies, although he still lost bu...

That's still a brilliant 9 though. Well done Toby.

Owen Carroll

Dan's doing alright. And just the record I'm gonna send out an application this week!!!!!!!

Owen Carroll

Cobra kai. Anyone else been watching it?

Thomas Carey wrote: ↑Thu Sep 06, 2018 12:46 pm It's two new contestants. Will one of them octo again? Probably not

Dave played well today. You never know.

Owen Carroll

If Tony loses tomorrow, I dunno if my heart can take another one

Owen Carroll

Wow Tony's doing really good here. I agree with tom in thinking he could become an octochamp.

Johnny Canuck wrote: ↑Tue Aug 28, 2018 2:06 pm Including his original stint in 1999, Tony has had four different DC guests in five games. Freaky, huh?

Gotta be a record.

Owen Carroll

So the final selection with all those nines seems like a famous selection in countdown. Like how a selection that gives you notarised is.

Owen Carroll

It's a real shame Scott Mearns was never invited back for the 30BC. Maybe he was and rejected his invitation. Julian fell did I don't think people were invited as such. I think they had to put their names forward. This ended up largely being people from the online Countdown community and the Scrabb...

Owen Carroll

Finally an octochamp! But unfortunately he's got the lowest octochamp score of the new 15 round format. He's fortunate to be an octochamp at all. There are plenty of good players who've turned up and would have beaten him, but were unfortunate enough to be taking on the likes of Zarte or Tom C-C or...

Why is it unfortunate, out of interest?

Well I'd hate it if it was me was all I was trying to say

Owen Carroll

Elliott's right. When I said all possible solutions I meant the closest solution it can get to, if it can't get right on.

Owen Carroll

Based on points and max rates he would have to be the betting favourite from that half of the draw, although those particular metrics are slightly distorted when comparing players across this range of series due to dictionary updates that boost available points but make maxes harder to achieve. I h...

Ok so in my opinion the final is more than likely to have Paul erdunast or Zarte but who is more than likely to be their opponent in the final? Tom Chafer cook?

Ryan Lam wrote: ↑Mon Aug 13, 2018 1:55 pm Alternative for R3: (75 ÷ 3 x 8) - 1 - 1

I have to credit Stephen Read's solve last year because this was exactly the same conundrum used in SF1 of Series 76! Buzzed in within one second because of me memorising this back then...

Yeah same

Back in Richard whiteley's time, they gave vouchers. Dunno if they still do. Course it's been ages since the last special with Graham Nash and John Brackstone

Oh. I thought you saw the next few episodes and knew how many he would win.

No.

I think a lot of people think she's great anyway, and she became the sole lexicographer presumably because of this.

Yeah fair enough

Owen Carroll

After the conundrum went unsolved, Nick rolled it right away. I've often wondered why this sometimes happens - is it because someone in the audience guessed it wrong or some other reason?

I got 111 points and 8 maxes. I think that's a record for me!

Owen Carroll

Looks like they're not doing Chris thorn's numbers from his last game.

Owen Carroll

I don't know whether he will octo, but he put in a good performance yesterday, not quite as good today, though he solved the conundrum very quick, which stumped me. Well everyone has off days. So if he has any more off days but they don't cost him the game he can become an octochamp I think There i...

I really feel bad for bob. But I think Matthew could go far. But I'm surprised that Rachel didn't suggest a possible rematch in the finals.
