Spoilers for Tuesday 8th July 2008

[Ray Folwell]

Using just 3 numbers : (50 - 8) x 3 = 126

[Chris Philpot]

PTOMAINES for a niner in Round 11.

[Charlie Reams]

I would've gone for PTOMAINES no question, especially after Damian's recent comments.

[Paul Howe]

So would I, but then I have a pretty hazy idea of what the rules are.

Sorry to see Katie go there, she was really quite charming. Also, Carol should have done an upside down cross at the end to get back at that woman, on the off chance she was a hardcore Bible basher.

[Julian Fell]

I was sorry to see Katy go as well... but it was a high-quality game today and the new champion was impressive - she only missed 4 maxes in the entire show, and IVORIES (which beat me) and DUDGEON were excellent spots. She looks like she means business; hope she can maintain this standard, it'd be good to see another of that very rare breed, the female octochamp...

Guys: PTOMAINES is definitely fine because PTOMAINE isn't a mass noun! Not sure why DC didn't mention the plural; maybe they just didn't look it up, and assumed it must be a mass noun. It can't be that they wanted to go easy on the contestants, because the contestants were both really good!

[Matthew Green]

Susie got PTOMAINES not that long ago, surprised she didn't put the S on...?

[Richard Priest]

I too was sorry to see Katy go, but it was a quality match and Patricia deserved her win. IVORIES beat me too, as well as DUDGEON.If she keeps that up I think she could win at least a few more. But you never know, every game is different.
