Spoilers for Thursday April 16th

No spoilers today? Can I start a thread for them anyway?

I'm assuming that question was rhetorical then...

Another really nervous challenger today - I thought poor Stephen was going to shake his chair off its base.

It made no difference as Shane had an 8, but in round 6 I noticed Stephen declared NATION which wasn't in the selection.

I thought the chair looked as if it was moving- I expected the 4 large round (the last numbers round) to stump Shane as he'd consistently gone for 6 small, but I was taken aback when he solved the round spot on!

It was pretty easy to be fair; Shane did it an unnecessarily complicated way - he made 10 by doing (100/50)x5 when he could have just done 50/5.

Wow, am I the only one to post a DC beater then? DUALIST in round 7.

[Neil Zussman]

Am I the only one who noticed that in one numbers round the column of two was in a different place to usual? The bottom row was a row of 6 instead of the second row. Good job I wasn't on that day, would've messed everything up.
Candidate for the most inane observation ever?

I must admit, I hadn't noticed til I read your post. I also made the ten by taking 100/50 and multiplying by 5. Although admittedly if I was on the show, I'd've been tempted to be awkward and make Rachel calculate 5*79*100 and then to divide that by 50.

You must be new here.

I noticed on one round Shane declared what I thought sounded like SEAMAN when there was only one A. It may have been SEAMEN but it didn't sound like it so I was surprised he wasn't asked to spell it.

He did quite distinctly enunciate "sea-men", stressing both syllables, thereby averting multiple sources of confusion.

You're kidding, Charlie!
