Spoilers for Tuesday February 11th 2014 (S70 P27)

[Jordan F]

Two wins for Graeme Cheek now, can he get a third?

Join Callum for the recap later.

[Andy Platt]

Only two solutions for round 3 apparently, that must be pretty rare with 100 and a good mix of smalls.

I found Rachel's way - will have to look for the other during the ads.

[Bradley Cates]

ECLIPSE in R5

[Tony Atkins]

Another of Rachel's couple of ways to 282 is ((5x9)-7)x10-100+2.

[Andy Platt]

Numbers are pretty hard when you're nervous or in front of the TV cameras but they're making it look like quantum mechanics.

[Bradley Cates]

Alt 3rd numbers: (9x5x10)-100-(2/2)

[Tony Atkins]

I like to think of that method to 349 as 100/2 times 7 (and then do 10-9 to make the one to subtract), but Rachel's way is more flexible.

I found it was how much coffee and sleep that you had had that made the difference!

[Peter Mabey]

I did (100+5x10-9)x2 = 282
And in R5 had VESICLE

[Tony Atkins]

Wow the second max of the game with UPBRAIDS - nice spot!

[Andy Platt]

UPBRAIDS from C2 was pretty impressive, looks like it might turn out to be decisive with the close low-scoring game.

[Andy Platt]

Nope then. Good comeback from C1, decent contest to watch with how close it was.

[Tony Atkins]

Nice last solve by Rachel - I only did 51x19 to make 969.

[Jack Worsley]

Nice last solve by Rachel - I only did 51x19 to make 969.

I got three away the other side, which I was quite happy with:
((50+4)x2-1)x(8+1) = 963.

CONTRITE in round 1.

[James Robinson]

Chris is actually a friend of one of my workmates, so I was aware of him coming on the show.

He did reasonable for most of the game, just his numbers was a bit lacklustre (if only he hadn't forgotten how to do the 2nd one, he'd have won the game............ )

But, UPBRAIDS was a fantastic spot and I thought that was it then, but Graeme does seem to have the bouncebackability about him, and he might win a few more games, unless maybe Brett might have something to say about it when he comes on.

Yep, that was my way for that one, which could be done by just inserting the appropriate signs between the numbers in the order displayed. (100/2) x (5+2) + 9 - 10 = 349.
Do you guys have a word for that kind of numbers round solution??

I think it's called "the standard method".

[Gavin Chipper]

Perfectly executed.
