Spoilers for Wednesday May 1st 2013 (Series 68 Prelim 36)

[Jordan F]

Eileen Taylor is up to 4 wins. She's going for her 5th today, and would be only the 3rd person to break that barrier this series if she does. If she either wins or scores at least 65 in a loss, she will secure her place in the series finals. Can she do it?

Join James for the recap later.

[Andy Platt]

The Y is back, just for Mauro

ENVIOUS & VEINOUS in round 2 as DC beaters and surprisingly so I thought

Edit: ENTREPOT as a beater in round 4

[Jordan F]

I may have risked BOWLINE in R5.

[Andy Platt]

I may have risked BOWLINE in R5.

Valid, awesome shout mate. Nowhere near that, but somehow I doubted that 6 was the maximum!

Anyone get the numbers? That was horrid. I had 945


SANDING as a "beater" in round 7 but I presume they had it and Bill was just doing his little spiel and they didn't get chance to use it.

[Tony Atkins]

947 is possible it seems, but not by me.

[Jordan F]

ECOTAGE as an equaller to CORTEGE.

[Andy Platt]

Haha, Eileen ending round early again when she knew CORTEGE would be the max. Love it!

[Andy Platt]

I'm watching online and got a blue screen of death, anyone remember rounds 14 and 15 please?

Anyway I saw enough to know that Eileen got another good win with with some good words and numbers, but anyone else think her opponent was very negative? Almost like she expected to lose going into the game or wasn't happy to be playing someone as good as Eileen.

[Tony Atkins]

Someone ought to explain to her the tactic of keeping your head down and pretending you haven't got the max so
as not to discourage the oponent until its too late.

[Tony Atkins]

3 2 5 8 6 25 = 548

EDNASDOGI

[Andy Platt]

Cheers Tony, you're a star.

Did Eileen get them?

[Tony Atkins]

Eileen got 550 and Rachel had to show 548 by the method I got too late: ((8+3)x25-(6-5))x2.

Eileen got diagnosed quite quickly to end 111-31

[Gavin Chipper]

Eileen got 550 and Rachel had to show 548 by the method I got too late: ((8+3)x25-(6-5))x2.

Eileen got diagnosed quite quickly to end 111-31

(5×6-8)×25-2 was the standard method for that one.

[Jack Worsley]

Go Eileen! ULTERIOR as an alt. in round 11.

[Joyce Phillips]

Well done Eileen. I thought Katie was very nervous and she did seem to lose heart once Eileen got ahead.
