Alternate 942 solution for the 4 large round:

(100+50+4+(75/25))*6

Martin Long

I'm in and my request is Aegilops Numbers Attack.

Martin Long

I echo the congratulations. Excellent effort Jonathan, I'm really looking forward to the knockout stage!

Martin Long

Rawlinson vs. Worsley in the final. No clue who will win but it could be decided by a crucial conundrum.

Martin Long

Can someone provide me with the first two numbers selections and targets please?

Thanks in advance.

Martin Long

Great stuff again from Jonathan, would have beaten me in both these episodes.

Martin Long

I think I pencilled BUSING on Apterous, so I was quite surprised when this was disallowed.

Martin Long

GORIEST in round 4.

Martin Long

I should be able to make this. Sounds good and it would be great to meet fellow Countdown fans and apterites.

Anyone else from the Teesside area going?

Martin Long

The question was "Name an actor who has appeared in more than one Bond film", I would have had to pick from a load of options, some of which would have been pointless and some would have been low scoring: The first one on your list would have scored 100. Yeah, recognise my mistake now. If...

Martin Long

On Friday's show, there was a Bond film question in round 1. The question was "Name an actor who has appeared in more than one Bond film", I would have had to pick from a load of options, some of which would have been pointless and some would have been low scoring: Eunice Grayson, Colin Sa...

Martin Long

Yeah, its down for me too. Shame, as I was in the mood for some Spoilage NA.

Martin Long

Count me in. This should be good!

Martin Long

2nd numbers one away: (6 * 6 * 8 - 7) * 3 - 4 = 839 :( I just came on to post that. :D Good entertaining game of Countdown today, I would have won comfortably as got the 1st numbers round, 839 on 2nd numbers, METHODIZE and the conundrum. I don't think I would have got the conundrum if it was on apt...

Martin Long

I think "one player picking the rounds" is a very interesting twist to the Gevins Delight tournament. I would be for the tournament to be played in such a way. If Gevins Delight is chosen for this tournament, I will return to apterous to play it.

Martin Long

Good to see Gevin's Delight winning.

Martin Long

I voted for Gevin's Delight, and would enter the tournament if it was this variant or Option A.

Martin Long

I would go for Bond films, something to do with Sunderland AFC (probably SAFC in the 1970s, been reading about this a lot recently) or a recent England cricket-related category. American presidents would be another possibility but I would need to do a lot more research for this.

Martin Long

Count me in for the qualifiers if there are still places available.

Can I borrow this line for some Apterous Prune dialogue?

Of course.

I love the way as soon as I register, a load of people follow. Thats a sign of my ability in 15 rounders!

Martin Long

Count me in.

My presence in this competition will give someone an easy victory!

Martin Long

Very awkward start from Nick but there is definitely potential there. I think, in time, he will become a quick-witted, articulate Countdown host and definitely should be better than Des O'Connor and Des Lynam ever were. I really liked Jeff Stelling as host (I actually met him myself when he did a pr...

Martin Long

TORTOISE in round 1 as DC equaller.

Martin Long

Yeah, when I do this, its slightly better but the screen looks very cluttered and I have to make the chat box too small for my liking.

edit: Made some slight alterations and it looks okay now.

Thanks for your help.

Hello, after having a lot of problems with Internet Explorer recently, I have decided to switch to Mozilla Firefox (8.0.1) as my internet browser. I am having a few connection problems but I am sure they will be sorted once I get my firewall and stuff sorted. However, the layout of Apterous is not v...

Martin Long

Or (25+6)x(8)-10

Shocked Rachel didn't get this in the 30 seconds, I would be embarrassed if I didn't.

Martin Long

The usual lockdown numbers bug appears in the octolock numbers attack again. In this game, for example, the bug appears for the max solution in round 11 - http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=551620

Martin Long

Interesting that you pick 2 large in Aegilops. I might try that myself.

Martin Long

On the political compass test, I got:

Economic Left/Right: -2.62
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.51

Martin Long

I got Patrick Clifton's occupation - Postman (Pat) in the 2nd round. Also got some good cricketers for the last round - Gavin Hamilton (must have been pointless), Gladstone Small and Tim Ambrose

Martin Long

I try to watch it all the time these days. I used to watch it a lot when Richard Whiteley was the host, then stopped watching it when Des Lynam hosted, didn't watch it much when Des O'Connor was host but started watching it all the time when Jeff Stelling became host. The man is a legend! I hope he ...

My favourites: 1= The Godfather 1= Godfather: Part II 3) Full Metal Jacket 4) Cool Runnings 5) City of God 6) The Hill 7) Mystic River 8) Manhunter 9) The Wild Bunch 10) Reservoir Dogs Numbers 3 to 10 are in no particular order but the two Godfather films are my personal favourites. Dirty Harry, The...

I'm in.

Shes been playing Hyper Numbers on apterous imo.

Martin Long

AV is better than FPTP so I am voting "yes". I don't think it will actually make much difference to election results but its a step in the right direction.

Martin Long

I have been catching up on Monday and Tuesdays countdown episodes and found the numbers rounds in this episode interesting. I failed to get the solution in the final numbers round (gutted!) but got the round 5 solution fairly easily. Getting 291 is fairly straight forward - (100-1-2)*(75/25), only t...

Martin Long

Count me in please.

I like the sound of this.

Martin Long

I'm in a similar situation to Mark - currently unemployed. I have started looking for a job with more vigour lately as I'm getting pretty sick of just been at home all the time. I earn a little money from playing online poker and live with my parents so I'm not actually that badly off money-wise but...

I am not very fit at all. My main exercise is karate, which I do once a week (I'm a 3rd Dan). I used to go swimming once a week on Sunday morning but stopped now because I am usually too hungover to do anything on Sunday and used to play for a football team too but got thrown for getting sent off th...

I went to Teesside University to study History. Graduated in 2008.

Martin Long

I'm confused. (I've not done today's duel anyway if that makes a difference). But I know in the past (on the first day of Lockdown at least) you could do what Rhys has suggested. Has that loophole been closed? Yep, long since. Edit: It seems to have reappeared in Hyperlock. Will investigate. I can ...

Martin Long

I rarely type my solution in the typing box. I know you can do it but virtually never do it. When I find the solution early on, I tend to click "end round early" and think about something else like Sunderland AFC, the greatness of Guinness or why the England cricket team is so damn inconsi...

Martin Long

Writing things down will probably be a good start! I really should start doing it in Numbers Attack against humans as well. There have been quite a few times lately where I have got the solution in less than 10 seconds, clicked "end round early" and forgotten the solution when the solution...

Martin Long

I think the amount of time in spoilage rounds needs to be increased to 45 seconds. We get 45 seconds in Hyper Numbers and Spoilage is much harder and we only get 30 seconds per round. I think this needs changing. It's meant to be harder! True. Too hard for me I reckon, it takes me about 25 seconds ...

Martin Long

Me having Scunthorpe is quite cool as their football team is probably a fair reflection of my apterous abilities.

Martin Long

Count me in.

Martin Long

Count me in.

Apterous rating is 1400 or something like that, probably will change before tourney starts!

Martin Long

PEOPLES as DC and contestant beater?

Know it is in some dictionaries not completely sure about ODE3.

Martin Long

2nd numbers round alternate:

25 + 7 - 3 = 29

8 + 4 = 12

29 x 12 = 348

Martin Long

Watching todays show on +1 so sorry if this alternate first numbers round solution has been posted as don't want to see any other spoilers.

25 x 9 = 225

25 + 10 - 7 = 228

228 x 2 = 456

Martin Long

Flight B

Martin Long 73 - 35 Rhys Benjamin

Martin Long 87 - 43 Rhys Benjamin

Martin Long

Think I got 715 on second numbers round.

(9 x 7) + 2 = 65
7 + 3 + 1 = 11
65 x 11 = 715

Martin Long

9 x 7 = 63
(2 x 6) + 1 = 13
63 x 13 = 819
819 - 2 = 817

Slightly closer for final numbers round.

Martin Long

Main Tournament Flight B:

Andrew Herbertson 74 - 71 Martin Long
Andrew Herbertson 75 - 65 Martin Long

Congratulations Andrew.

Well done Howard.

I was extrmely disappointed by my result in the duel and will be prepared to play in a secondary tourney if there is sufficient demand.

Some extremely tricky groups in the main event!

Martin Long

Was looking forward to playing some number attacks today.
