Spoilers For Wednesday May 11th 2011

Post by James Robinson »

So, while the finals are being played out in Manchester, we've got to see the final 11 shows, before we know who will be contesting them.

Well, we already know 6 of them, and the current #7 seed, Andrew McNamara, is almost guaranteed a place, but who will take #8, currently occupied by Michelle Nevitt :?:

Maybe Tom Barnes will go for broke and try and gatecrash the finals. A good score of 94 yesterday, but is he just a one-hit wonder :?:

Join me later for the Robinson Recap. ;) :) :D

First numbers game is indeed impossible. Whilst trying to get it spot on, I discovered the more amusing ((75-2-9)*25)/(100/50) to get 800.
If you cut a gandiseeg in half, do you get two gandiseegs or two halves of a gandiseeg?

Surely multiply by the 50 first.

A very exceptional performance by Tom. Just pipped him in a couple of rounds, but very high quality.

SUPINATE in round 2 and NERVOUS and ONEROUS in round 11.

2nd Numbers Alt.: (((7 x 5) + 2) x 25) - 10 + 1 = 916
