Michael McLaughlin is now a two game winner, he'll need to win some more though to try to make the finals, with how tough this series has been. Can he get a third?

Join James for the recap later.

Found an insane 9 in the DEMISTED/DEMISTER round courtesy of lexplorer, anyone see it?

No I only got 8 with DEMERITS. Nor did I get the insane 7 in the following (CARDIO/CORVID) round.

Seems 842 is nearest on the impossible numbers (I was pleased in the end for 849).
Last numbers alt ((4x50)-6)x5-2=968.

My 8 was DIMETERS

Patience, young Gevin

I wanted to see if Worsley had it, it was DERMESTID. Family of beetles or some shit. Crazy.

WTF? That's completely new to me. I couldn't find any beaters today.

[Andy Platt]

Yeah, I guess almost everyone picks 4 vowels with that sort of selection, so we won't ever get to see it in apto-chat as a 9 teaser. And you know it's obscure when it's not a listed conundrum.

Mugs game.

[James Robinson]

I think I'm right (or at least pretty close in saying that (discarding finals), Michael's score of 34 is the 3rd lowest in a 15-rounder for someone who has was a champion.

SATRAP in round 2, GENTLE/GLUTEN in round 4 and HERITOR in round 11.

3rd Numbers Alt.: ((75 - 9) x 3) - 2 - 2 = 194

[Ian Fitzpatrick]

He did seem to lose interest about half way through, or his pencil broke!

[Dave Preece]

I honestly thought it seemed like he'd had a little bit too much 'Dutch courage' before the game!

[Gavin Chipper]

SATRAP in round 2, GENTLE/GLUTEN in round 4 and HERITOR in round 11.

Presumably when you put this but don't say that they're beaters, you mean they're equallers? You should say!
