3rd nos alt: 75 + 50 + ((2 x 100)/(8 x 25))

4th nos alt: (75 x 6) + (10 x 8)

UNTESTED in R2...I chickened out on VROOMED in R1...

Had Glen got ORDAINERS in R13 and solved 530 in R14, he would have beaten John 76 - 72 but sadly that was not to be (Note that obtaining the former only would still have been enough to beat him, the score would have been 73 - 72! It hurts when you know you could've gotten it and subsequently win the game...

Alternative for R14: (75 - (8 + 8+ 6)) x 10

I didn't notice it in previous games but the champion guy was asking for letters like they were helpings of dinner. Instead of asking for a second one etc. he was asking for seconds and thirds.

Stomata was a vn spot by John today...

I noticed this too!
Also asking for seconds when it was his fifth...

Anyone laugh at the unintentional harshness by Nick at the end..."Well played Glen, but not today"

several alts there, for instance:

6x75 + 8x10
6x8x10 + 50

MEVROUW as a R1 alternative.

Yeah - was a great spot. I was sure he was going to say "tomatos"

Same- I dismissed him when he said 7, and me and my mum both sat smugly in our chairs because we thought we would gain extra points against him

You are all bad people.When he said seven, I thought he might have had "tomatos", but I didn't think it was the most probable outcome. I was expecting to lose the round to him.

He would have been in very good company looking at the list of names that have done similar on Apterous before https://www.apterous.org/lexplorer.php?word=tomatos As I said, was a great spot and will be interesting to see how his progress continues!

Not that far if every round is a numbers round.
(just saying!)
In the first TTT Nick seemed to be making the point that not all hygienists are female. Wonder why the tease-setter thinks they are......!

I've never come across one that wasn't!

Nor me tbh! It was still pretty assumptive of the tease-setter though, which Nick picked up on too!
