Spoilers For Monday February 27th 2012

[James Robinson]

So, we have entered the 8th week of the series, and hopefully 8 will be Peter's lucky number on Wednesday.

But, before we get ahead of ourselves, he still has to win another 2 games before even attempting to become an octochamp.

Back in DC for a 5th consecutive series is the 1991 World Snooker champion, John Parrott.

Join Eoin later for the recap.

[Andy Platt]

Cool, John's usually a good laugh, especially coming straight after Ann lol.

[Phil Collinge]

R4 NORMATIVE

[Stewart Gordon]

Just to be interesting:
(50 + 4) × (9 + 8) ÷ (8 + 1) = 102

[David Barnard]

Normative was great in round 4 for whoever spotted it, I found another interesting one which was MORAINE

[Phil Collinge]

R9 DOWERING

[Marc Meakin]

Also WEIRDING r9

[Jojo Apollo]

Excellent game, well played lads.

[Andy Platt]

High scoring one then. WP Peter, onwards and upwards

[Tony Atkins]

When was the last time three letters rounds in a row contained 9s?

[Jack Worsley]

Excellent again Peter, you're on fire at the moment. You've had some really good challengers recently too, which makes the high scoring more impressive.

Anyone else hoping for a final N in round 8 for JALAPENOS? It reminded me of the time when Peter got it against me on apterous.

[peter lee]

Tks for the kind comments. Tks Jack, I was hoping for an n for jalapenos but it didnt come out.
Normative was a nice one but hit a blank there. All of the opponents were excellent players , and I would not like to play them again.
The results could easily go the other way.

[James Robinson]

When was the last time three letters rounds in a row contained 9s?

There was Andy McGurn's last heat nearly a year ago, TERRAFORM, INTONATED and SOUTENEUR. (Rounds 7-9)

Interestingly, as you can see on the recap, the solver doesn't give POSABLE as in............

Can anyone clarify please

HELIX in round 7.

Another Weird 1st Numbers Alt.: 50 + (8 x 8) - (9 + 4 - 1) = 102

[Joseph Krol]

Posable is in, near the end of the pose section.

[Clive Brooker]

When was the last time three letters rounds in a row contained 9s?

There was Andy McGurn's last heat nearly a year ago, TERRAFORM, INTONATED and SOUTENEUR. (Rounds 7-9)

That does seem to be the last instance. Surprisingly, before today there had only been 4 cases in recorded history, the first being game 3967 in series 54.

[Andy Platt]

I opened a ticket (421) about it after asking Jack W to check his ODE3, James, so hopefully its not a duplicate by now lol
