Spoilers For Friday November 4th 2011
So, the week was preparing to go out with a blaze of glory, like many people's bonfires, but instead, David Butcher, was preparing himself for a roasting after missing out on being an octochamp, meaning that his Countdown future is still uncertain, unlike Dave Taylor, whose place in the finals was booked thanks to that result.
So, our deposer-in-chief is our new champ, Clive Barham. Will he be as successful as David
Join Mike later for the recap.

That numbers miss in R5 by both contestants is... interesting... to say the least. Just studio pressure I guess.
Anyone get round 10? Awful selection that was. Shuffle the numbers!

Droplets as a nice alternative in round 11. Oh and I nearly forgot refrain in round 2 (I think the DC bit was edited out or maybe they did just have nothing to offer).

Re: Spoilers For Friday November 4th 2011
It's alarming how many contestants don't think to add or subtract before multiplying. It helps a lot if you know how too and it's easy to learn. It was actually pssible to make an 8 from 25, 2, 1, 1:Andy Platt wrote:That numbers miss in R5 by both contestants is... interesting... to say the least. Just studio pressure I guess.

(25-1)/(2+1)
Surprised Rachel didn't get the second numbers game in time, I had the answer in about 5 seconds. Also did it Graeme's way during the break.
