Re: Spoilers For Thursday September 22nd 2011
I was disappointed with how well I did today, as well as with the contestants. I managed to work out 1 away on the first numbers (13 x 51 is 663 if it helps) in about 60 seconds, but the computer tells me it is possible, though 88% difficulty level. I then failed to get the second numbers...

Andy looks scared, uncertain and/or angry at every word he declares. Really scrunches his face up. Cheer up Andy!

Looks to me like he's too busy trying not to fall asleep. Still, he woke up a bit after Jeff did his "WHAT'S THE FIVE, ANDY?"Mark Deeks wrote:Andy looks scared, uncertain and/or angry at every word he declares. Really scrunches his face up. Cheer up Andy!

Pffff, just when you thought it couldn't sink any lower, a complete stinker (close to saying travesty of a game) today.
Andy just collapsed completely today.
Not that I can gloat that much since I said TOWELMARK too.
LICENSOR in round 9.

That's the fifth conundrum in a row that's gone unsolved. Does anyone know when was the last time this happened, or what's the maximum number of consecutive conundrums that have gone unsolved?

I seem to recall a run of either 4 or 5 sometime last year, but some digging will probably be required.Graeme Cole wrote:That's the fifth conundrum in a row that's gone unsolved.

Re: Spoilers For Thursday September 22nd 2011
The record seems to be six, which has happened twice, the runs ending in episodes 261 and 2103. In the latter case the sequence included 2 missed conundrums in a 14-round final.Graeme Cole wrote:That's the fifth conundrum in a row that's gone unsolved.

Additionally, a run of 5 consecutive missed conundrums was completed in episodes 933, 976, 996, 1141,1308, 1522, 2017, 2175, 3499, 4823 and 5043. At least I think so. It seems to be getting rarer.

Interesting, so if nobody gets tomorrow's conundrum it'll be unique. Thanks for digging all that up, how did you find it? Some kind of search on the wiki?Clive Brooker wrote:The record seems to be six, which has happened twice, the runs ending in episodes 261 and 2103.

To get a local copy of the Wiki data I used a 30-day trial version of iMacros (from iOpus.com). As luck would have it one of the demo macros provided with IMacros does almost exactly what's needed. This is part of a grander plan to create a database with which I can carry out all kinds of "interesting" research - a plan possibly rendered redundant by Charlie's recently announced intention to consolidate all the round-by-round details into the Apterous database or similar. In the meantime I can answer questions of great importance like "How often has a televised game included 2 Qs?" with minimal effort. FTR the only letter which has never occurred twice is J.
Once again, tribute is due to the efforts of the recapping team.
