Spoilers For Wednesday June 10th 2015
We have now reached the semi-final stage, and after the minor shock of the #5 seed knocking out the #4 seed yesterday, Kevin Steede will have a job on his hands today to knock out the #1 seed, Tom Cappleman, today.
Not impossible, but looking at the stats, it's a tall order.......
Statistics Corner:
Firstly, No.1 Seed Tom "The Enfield Enforcer" Cappleman - 9 Wins, 1,025 Points. (Average: 113.89)
Highest Score: 135 vs. Jack Roberts (4th Game)
Lowest Score: 98 vs. Gavin Woolnough (Quarter-Final)
9's Achieved: 2/3
Total Points/Max/%: 1025/1135 (90%)
Letters Points/Max/%: 610/691 (88%)
Numbers Points/Max/%: 345/354 (97%)
Conundrum Points/Max/%: 70/90 (78%)
Secondly, No.5 Seed Kevin "The Plymouth Powerhouse" Steede - 9 Wins, 891 Points. (Average: 99)
Highest Score: 108 vs. Terry Stapleton (4th Game)
Lowest Score: 85 vs. Lois Pattison (7th Game)
9's Achieved: 1/2
Total Points/Max/%: 891/1103 (81%)
Letters Points/Max/%: 563/656 (86%)
Numbers Points/Max/%: 298/357 (83%)
Conundrum Points/Max/%: 30/90 (33%)
As Tracey doesn't want to be in the position of recapping herself tomorrow, we've switched recaps this week, so join her later, and join me tomorrow.

Wow - I was very pleased that I beat Tom twice in the rounds where he missed a six, but was crushed like Kevin
in the other rounds. Looking forward to the next two matches - should be ace.

PS like Kevin I also went for "nortenas" where NORTENOS would have been fine.

Re: Spoilers For Wednesday June 10th 2015
Well done to Tom for reaching the final, I think beating Andy took its toll on Kevin, who just ran out of luck there.....
I maxed it in the audience, with the exception of the last numbers game, and was especially happy getting one over all the 4 large experts in the 790 round, as I got it after 5 seconds.
FLAVONE/FLEURON in round 1, TONEME in round 5 and UTOPIAS in round 11.

The teatime teaser clue seemed to imply that a rapport was a person.
Also PATIOS was available in three consecutive rounds. Is there an item for that?

Re: Spoilers For Wednesday June 10th 2015
METALICCA as yesterday's conundrum scramble and MEGADEATH as today's answer? Someone on the staff must be a headbanger.
I'm not dead yet. In a rut right now because of stress from work. I'll be back later in S89. I also plan to bring back the Mastergram - if I can find a way to run a timer or clock through pure MediaWiki without having to upload to Vimeo every time.

Re: Spoilers For Wednesday June 10th 2015
When you suddenly have an old Countdown favourite like TOWNEE disallowed, you know it's not going to be your day.
I wonder did Tom know it was no longer valid? or just didn't spot it.

I hadn't spotted it, and had learned from past experience to use RESONANT rather than NORTENAS, so was very lucky to avoid the same mistakes.Steven M. McCann wrote:When you suddenly have an old Countdown favourite like TOWNEE disallowed, you know it's not going to be your day.
