(not really a spoiler, but certainly connected with today's game)
By my reckoning, from today onwards we could potentially be watching the contestant that Charlie has to face when he takes his seat in the middle of next week.
Bet you're glad it wasn't Kai. Charlie.

R13 SYNAPSE as equaller.
Very impressed with his conundrum spot today. How many 11 year olds are even aware of the word?

Re: Spoilers for Monday 6th October
DC beaters today:
SMUTTED in round 3
METOPE and EMPATH in round 8.
Equallers of interest:
Round 2: DEALIGNS
Round 7: LUTINO
I thought I did quite well today, only missing SYNAPSE/PAYSANS in the last letters round (I had PAEANS) and with two DC beaters and a difficult conundrum spot, however, turns out I missed a couple more maxes - round 7 there was a 7 (which I didn't know) and round 8 there was a 7 (which I did know and am annoyed to have missed). I won't spoil it for those that did get it and want to brag

Re: Spoilers for Monday 6th October
Got MOTTES for an equaller in R3, but not as good as Kirk's SMUTTED.
Annoyed not to get EMPATH, having been beaten by that word in COGST only two days earlier.
First day I've not been at least level with Kai going into the conundrum, and that's because I didn't notice that you could make 32 out of 9, 4 and 1
Even if I'd got that numbers game, he'd still have beaten me on the conundrum, as he had on his first two games.

Re: Spoilers for Monday 6th October
I think there was TESTUDO too in one round or am I making that up?

Re: Spoilers for Monday 6th October
Yeah you're right David, it was in round 3.
What a finish to this game by Kai Excellent, calmly-produced solution to a difficult last numbers round when he was under pressure (if the challenger had beaten him there it'd've been a crucial conundrum) - a solution which beat me all ends up, needless to say - and then that conundrum, as several have mentioned. I'm sure when the production team set that one, they would have been pretty much expecting it to go unsolved, but thinking "well we have to have a really hard one occasionally, just for a change"... and then an 11-year-old gets it after 3 seconds! Wow!
