Nick Hall is on quite the roll, 5 wins under his belt and unless he performs very weakly today, should have at least the number 4 seed in his hands win or lose today. Can he further improve his standings with the sixth win?
James will recap us later.

Re: Spoilers for Thursday May 3rd 2012 (Series 66 Prelim 78)
To mark the first anniversary of my first show (first Thursday in May 2011) I managed to score 118 with a 13 max game,
including beating DC on R11 with TAUTENED. Missed CAMISOLE and was too slow on the conundrum. First numbers alt:
((100-10)x6)-9=531.
Other alts according to the computer: OUTSAILS in R1, MIZENS etc in R2, FREEING etc in R3, DELATION and DENTINAL in R4.
CHARROS (Mexican cowboys) and OCHREAS (rings on plant stems) in R6, BRAKING/KARTING/TABUING in R8,
TAMPED, TEAPOY and YOMPED in R9, PEPINO and PERRON etc in R12, HEMIOLAS and CHAMELIS (Jasmins) in R13.
James will be including these in his recap when he eventually gets back from the finals (assuming he went like most everyone else).

Point of order - isn't the recap section the place for computer generated solutions? Just that on the rare occasion I happen to see one, there is a small pleasure in seeing if anyone else got it here first.

I saw CAMISOLE just as the clock had finished. But then I remembered that I think it can be spelt CHAMISOLE as well.
Though it isn't on OneLook or in C20C. I assume it isn't in the ODE either otherwise DC would've mentioned it. But it has about 107000 hits on Google.
Does this alternative spelling actually exist, or is it just a way it's sometimes misspelt by confusion with other words?

I'd love to say I was there, but I had to make do with staying in gloomy Mirfield for today.Tony Atkins wrote:James will be including these in his recap when he eventually gets back from the finals (assuming he went like most everyone else).
No TABUING according to the solver.Tony Atkins wrote:TABUING in R8
Again, no alternate spelling, although if a B had come out, we'd have had CHOLIAMBS/SHAMBOLIC, which would've been nice.Stewart Gordon wrote:I saw CAMISOLE just as the clock had finished. But then I remembered that I think it can be spelt CHAMISOLE as well.
2nd Numbers Alt.: ((75 + 6) x 7) + 4 = 571

I've got to agree with Brian here, what's the point of this topic otherwise, leave the solvers aloneBrian Moore wrote:Point of order - isn't the recap section the place for computer generated solutions?

I thought I was good at Countdown until I joined this forum
