Last numbers out of time:
(25+5-1-1)x(9+8) = 476.
(25+5-1-1)x(9+8) = 476.

Oh and the first numbers game was the worst one in the world. The challenger couldn't do it and the champion genuinely had to find 3 by doing 6-3. Odd!

Last numbers game, alternative answer. 25 x 9 = 225 + 8 + 5 = 238 x (1 + 1)

(25+9)x(8+5+1)=476

There was LOVEHEART in Round 3. Not really a word, obviously, but kinda cool.

Microsoft Works.
These are old, I'm sure more original examples can be found.

Loving Hate.- Classic Shakespeare
Re: Spoilers for Wednesday 23 July 2008
Er, that's not really an oxymoron. That's just two words which are opposites.

Re: Spoilers for Wednesday 23 July 2008
It is an oxymoron really. In context, the "loving" is an adjective. Obviously there's nothing contradictory about loving hate, but there is something contradictory about hating in a loving way.Jon Corby wrote:Er, that's not really an oxymoron. That's just two words which are opposites.
Re: Spoilers for Wednesday 23 July 2008
Sorry mate, "loving hate" (in the context you describe) certainly is an oxymoron. My post was in reference to the original question put by Jason (and subsequent answers). This wasn't at all clear because I didn't quote anything, and I apologise for that.Charlie Reams wrote:It is an oxymoron really. In context, the "loving" is an adjective.

Re: Spoilers for Wednesday 23 July 2008
My favourite oxymorons, which form a contrasting pair, are AWFULLY PRETTY, and PRETTY AWFUL.
