Spoilers For Friday May 13th 2011

Post by James Robinson »

So, it's Friday the 13th........... :? :roll: :| Hope there's no bad luck spreading around.........

Especially not on Tom Barnes, who after scoring a "reverse Ted Rogers" yesterday, looks in tip-top form. Can me make it to halfoctochampdom in time for the weekend break :?:

Join guest recapper Innis Carson, for today's recap later on. ;) :) :D

In case you are wondering why Tom got nothing on the second numbers, neither player had written it down and when they paused to allow both players to do so Tom forget his method.

In my opinion anyway, what Rachel means by 'the trick' for the first numbers game is was I eluded to a few days ago: For a target like 896 the hard one to get is the 4 not the 900, so do 100/25 and try and get 900 out of the rest.
If you cut a gandiseeg in half, do you get two gandiseegs or two halves of a gandiseeg?

And I thought GLARIER was good, stupid me. :oops:

NOUGATS in round 1 and GWEILOS in round 8.

3rd Numbers Alt.: ((100 - 3) x 6) + 50 + 10 - 7 = 635
