Did Carol really just make 3 by doing 4-(75-50)/25 ?

[JasonCullen]

Probably just trying to show off by using all the numbers . But she must have missed the basic 75/25 to give you the 3!

[Michael Wallace]

Yeah, I was wondering that...

Also - what's the verdict on PAROLES? It's a mass noun, but can also be a verb, but there are various criteria that I don't really understand, so thought I'd ask you lot.

Actually, no.

(She did it by (50/(75-25)) )

[Matthew Green]

Rd 2. AMNIOTES plus L =? Is it SEMITONAL?

Plus Carol could have just said 75/25 = 3 for the 2nd numbers game.

It's definitely fine, as are PAROLED and PAROLING.

I did a Jono in round 10. As the target is near 300, I did:

75x100 = 7500. 7500-50 = 7450. 7450/25 = 298. 298-4-3 = 291.

I'd have looked a right pillock if the other guy had said 100-(75/25)=97. 97x3= 291.

Hiyo,

Is it just me or was that game a touch on the dodgy side.

R2 he declares "6 not written down", Des then went to Pat who presumably had hers written down, Peter goes "Lemons as well". Was a bit taken on trust that. With at least five 8's available (I had MANLIEST and AILMENTS) it was hardly a top quality round but it did have an impact on the outcome of the game.

Also R14 she declares "160 and I've just seen how to do it". A little push with "can you do 163" or something like that might have got her the 10 points that would have levelled the game after her conundrum spot.

Worth giving her another go do we think?

DC

[Kirk Bevins]

It seemed as she saw 163 just out of time but she could have easily said "163 not written down" so I guess fair play to her. I'm not sure what you mean with "a little push". Once she's declared 160, that's it - there's no changing your declaration - like RETAKEN she declared as 8. Had she have said "I've got an 8, er I mean 7" I think they'll have given it her as she corrected straight away. Going from "I have 160 -- oh I've just seen it now" implies that she hadn't made a mistake and had seen it out of time.

I don't think this warrants another go.

[Charlie Reams]

I don't think this warrants another go.

Agreed, and she was rubbish anyway.

[Michael Wallace]

I don't think this warrants another go.

Agreed, and she was rubbish anyway.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

[Richard Priest]

I don't think this warrants another go.

Agreed, and she was rubbish anyway.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

My thoughts too. I think it'd open the floodgates a bit if she was given another go.

[Howard Somerset]

Agreed, and she was rubbish anyway.

Yup - she must be a lot worse than rubbish, as I beat her easily in both of her games.
