I only have one thing to say today: Rachel's comment on "kicking youselves" in R9 shouldn't be really applied in this sort of situation (I mean, the average contestant won't think of 18 x 51 immediately...) My alternative which went one big round was: (10 + 9) x 50 - (6 x 5) - 2

I took it that he spotted her method as soon as she said that. It is the obvious way really because the first thing you do is spot 18*50, then what do we need, oh, 18, that's 18*1 so all I need is a 1, and there you are. even my wife spotted that!Tom S wrote: ↑Wed Sep 19, 2018 8:26 amFeel free to correct me if I am wrong, but I think I did hear him say that he had it after Rachel said "you might kick yourselves" , so it could be inferred that he had it, or maybe did the 102 x 9 route, as did I.Gavin Chipper wrote: ↑Wed Sep 19, 2018 8:11 amI think Dave would normally have got that though.
