ROUND EIGHT - 25 50 75 100 9 5 TARGET 207


Jono: (50 * 100 + 75) / 25 + 9 - 5 = 207 (10)
Joe: -
62-22

Of course (25-100/50)x9 would be too easy!

Gargh Ben beat me to this one by about 60 hours! Hopefully I'll bagsy the next one

I'm a chem and maths undergrad and even I thought those questions were bizarre. I've never heard of the term "Mathmo" and had no idea what those games were in the first section of the test. Are they American? Nevertheless I got 24.

Aye twas excellent. Really enjoyed meeting all who attended. Even my girlfriend had a good time :!: (though she got a bit huffy when she said STARGAZE instead of STARGAZER for conundrum and was disallowed) Love the personal conundrums and calendars as well. I'm up to date already (although Jan 2nd's...

Nice 2nd game David. (The one we're allowed to judge you on!) The nerves seem to have settled today. (Either that or you managed to control your ungodly urges around Alison!) Think that was my best ever armchair hero game today. I got SUNBATHE, and BRINIEST just in the nick of time. I got COTTAGERS ...

Hi Mikey thanks for delurking. You were one of my favourite people of Series 57. I liked your psychadelic braces. Also where did you learn to grin?

I have no idea who the other lexicographers are (bar Mary from the first ever show. Now she was a stunner!), or that Alison had been on before. I'd certainly like to know who they were.

Aye I did Hooray for chemists everywhere! Also a non-chemistry word EPILATES in round 1.

LAAGERED

How often does this come up?

Ooh so thats what he looks like!

COVENANT

Correct Soo :D thats the best strategy (there are probably a few others with slight variations). I think I know the 4 people scenario you mean, Joseph (there's also a wall behind the front person right?) but I chose this one as its probably a bit more obscure (If not a bit ambiguously explained by y...

Do Brainteaser still have a contestant appeal going? That might be fun Dinos

Here's another problem for you: 10 Countdowners are captured by merciless Crab people :twisted: They are placed in a queue all facing forward so that each Countdowner can only see the Countdowners in front of him (ie the one at the back sees the other nine, the one at the front sees no one at all an...

I'm on the pro tomatoes and mushroom side of things but like Howard I'm a Weetabix kinda guy cause its uninvolved. Though this morning my mum gave me GOATS MILK on it. Eugghh! Also my morning drink is hot ribena. Anyone?

Dinos

I hate the Beatles but try to guess which one is which:

Wowee! :o (Inserts handy emoticon) A new forum. Not had chance to fully navigate it yet but it looks pimped out to the max! Bravo chaps... ...and chapettes (nah who am I kidding!) Ahem my name's Dinos, I'm a first year under-grad at Sheffield University studying chemistry and maths. I'm a so so-ish ...
