I thought Rachel was a bit abrupt with the guy when she interrupted to say it was the same method. "No, it's exactly the same." He did the arithmetic in a different order so it was essentially the same but she should have let him finish, explain that it was the same but in a different order and then asked him to show his paper. It came across as quite rude actually.

Yes, I could get why people saw Rachel as being a bit OTT in tone in R3, but no malice was intended. On a separate note, that was a pretty stong showing from Morgan. Looks like he could become an octochamp-his conundrum skills are particularly strong.

I know Rachel doesn't normally come across that way, but this particular incident (rude, pushy, and with a fake smile at the end) makes me think she would be perfect for a career in HR.

Didn't think anything of it myself, but the editing didn't do him any favours when he had COOTED disallowed, Jenny Eclair spoke up and said something like "I'm doing my best for you" in his direction, they panned over, and it looked as if he wasn't even listening.
