Statistically speaking, what letters selection is more likelier to get the more points?

There are only 3 different selections you can go for, so clearly it's a lot easier to work out that the numbers.

Why?

Why not???

Dave Preece

I mentioned a ladies category due to the fuss that was kicked up about segregating them in another topic, I mean, imagine if they gave Oscars to men and women separately... Wait a minute!

Dave Preece

Well done Glen one of my favorite players of this series, but he's going to have to go some to beat Callum never mind Dylan in the final.

Dave Preece

You could even take it further, and have a contestant of the year, an apterite of the year and a c4c user of the year?

We could even have a female version of the prize too?

My personal all-time favorites: The Sky at Night (1957) The Twilight Zone (1959) Coronation Street (1960) Top of the Pops (1964) Match of the Day (1964) Scooby Doo, Where are You? (1969) Monty Python's Flying Circus (1969) Parkinson (1971) Fawlty Towers (1975) 3-2-1 (1978) Grange Hill (1978) Tales o...

...with Wikipedia! Notable contestants Since Countdown's debut in 1982, there have been over 5,700 televised games and 67 complete series. There have also been thirteen Champion of Champions tournaments, with the most recent starting in January 2013 as a special 30th Birthday Championship. Several o...

Surely 4 vowels is far more optimal?

Dave Preece

As I said... I doubt it!

Dave Preece

Not in my house!

Dave Preece

This series - for me - has been a bit odd... There have been some very high standard players indeed, and some really low standard players and not as much in the middle.

Dave Preece

Has a player ever missed out on a finals place as a result of winning the final preliminary game of a series? (eg. player finishes series x with several wins, but loses the first game of series y and misses the series y finals, when losing the last game in series x would have got them into the seri...

I convinced my Mrs. Into believing Derren had AIDS!

Dave Preece

Well done Callum, worthy of a 30th Birthday Championship finals match this!

Dave Preece

That Jen the greatest female player ever is unargufied, but it's largely missing the point when she's one of the best Countdowners ever anyway. That was the slightly annoying thing about the accolades bestowed on her in the intros (and even by Rachel at the end of her octorun). Firstly, it's not th...

No matter how much Callum has improve, I simply can't see the all-time top % of max score player getting beat by anyone other than Dylan.

Dave Preece

Sorry... i deleted my last post, as I was being thick (again)!

Dave Preece

Everyone's saying about two or three contestants having vastly improved since their runs, but who hasn't improved and who has stayed on their par?

Dave Preece

I think it'll be a very memerable final should both top seeds get through!

Dave Preece

I did (even tho I don't agree with that), but I still got nowhere

Dave Preece

Have you tried the 'trial-by-error' tactic?

Dave Preece

If Dylan doesn't win it, I'd say it's about time a bird won it for a change.

Dave Preece

As there are not any spoilers in it, (unless you're not up-to-date with the show right now, I think here is the right place, but it's not that a big a deal really LOL.

Dave Preece

I used to like them, and could do the hardest ones where there was ALWAYS a way of figuring out the next number with a technique like 'X' winging etc, etc, but as I said above the ones where you HAVE to guess are for me, is not my idea of a good puzzle.

Dave Preece

In spoilers!

Dave Preece

It's DEFO been posted already Adam.

Dave Preece

I think you have to use the 'trial and error' route, which is apparently the only way to do diabolical sudoku puzzles, I always find that a tad controversial and kind of defeats the meaning of it - surely there should ALWAYS be a way forward without 'guessing'?

Dave Preece

I tried for about half and hour and was getting nowhere, so sent it my mate, and he got it in 33 mins he said!

I can't verify time, but I have the answer if you want it?

Must admit, I was impressed!!!

Dave Preece

I am surprised Jack is 36th on this list... Neither near top, middle or bottom???

Dave Preece

This would explain why Conor is in the middle, a jack of no trades and a master of all???

Dave Preece

The top few are average conundrum and top, top numbers round players compared to letter rounds???

Dave Preece

I'm assuming the bottom few are very good conundrum/average numbers round contestants???

Dave Preece

That's a tough one alright!!!

Dave Preece

Dylan to win this in record-breaking style!

Dave Preece

Which person who lost their first game got the most maxes? In 15-round games, three people lost their debut with ten maxes. They are David Morgans , Paul Lyne and Christine Smith . In 9-round games, Tom Bradshaw and Gareth Fuller both lost their debuts with seven maxes. Amazingly, not one of these ...

Dave Preece

They've split before and manage to get back together, maybe they will sort it out, hopefully?

I think you should multiply by 7.12349867123409781293 actually.

Inaccurate.

1-0 to Gavin?

Well actually, if winning Oscars is the objective of making films, you might argue that releasing your film in a year where there aren't any other good films is part of what makes it good. So in that case I'd say Shawshank and Pulp Fiction are actually shit . (I'm only kidding. About Pulp Fiction. ...

I realise I'm being ignorant but I don't even wanna watch Inception nor Avatar!

Lowest losing score with a nine? Probably not but still very low!

Good!

8/10

...but films without a definitive meaning annoy the hell out of me. IMHO, everything should be explainable, so the 'clever' people can't put their own spin on what they demand you want you to think it means!
