Spoilers for Friday October 19th 2012 (Series 67 Prelim 54)
Rose Boyle is on the verge of having a clean sweep of the week. Can she end the week on her 5th win? Sad to see Dr. Phil go as well, always one of my favorite guests.
Join Thomas for the recap later.

Couldn't Rose have put an R at the end of her GREASE for GREASER? I always thought that was in.
Is PALETTE a valid spelling of the word?

Second numbers game different (simpler) solution: (((9+9) x 8) + 1)

Round two: I thought Star Trek! I thought Ferengi and lo and behold FERINGHIS. Definitely not Scrabble word
Round four: like with GREASE + R why not PRESAGE + R as well ? Definitely a Scrabble word

That's the second numbers game - another method ((9+8)x(9+1))-(100-75).szodiac wrote:First numbers game different (simpler) solution: (((9+9) x 8) + 1)

Alt for the first ((50-8-1)x8)-75. Both were sadly for me out of time.

It is the only spelling, I believe, and is a beater in round 8.Jordan F wrote:Couldn't Rose have put an R at the end of her GREASE for GREASER? I always thought that was in.

My mum thought she spotted TEATOWEL, but it's not in, so I presume it's still 2 words.Jordan F wrote:Is PALETTE a valid spelling of the word?
Carrying on with the 1st numbers alts., I was well happy with my method, considering that I don't normally go with sky-high (of sorts) methods: ((50 - 8) x ((75 x 8) / 100)) + 1 = 253
2nd Numbers Alt.: ((100 - 75 - 8) x (9 - 1)) + 9 = 145
IMPACTS in round 3, FITMENT in round 11 and GEODIC (not quite GEODESIC) in round 12.

Well played, Rose. Nice spot on the second numbers game.
Did anyone else spot the oddity during the conundrum?

As I say I'm playing all these games through quiet moments at work so I'm seeing them in a different way, but I thought that 2nd nums was easy, just 18x8 + 1, ah well. I really struggled with the letters that game though (again).
What is the oddity Graeme? Apart from the fact the scramble meant it took about a quarter of a second..

Roses's buzzer sounded like a buzz, rather than a bell? I saw this the first time and have just watched it again to make sure I didn't imagine it. Strange.Graeme Cole wrote:

Watch it again and see if anything seems different from normal. Wasn't the case on Wednesday or Tuesday, which is all the more odd.Andy Platt wrote:What is the oddity Graeme? Apart from the fact the scramble meant it took about a quarter of a second.

Yeah but I can't get on 4OD at work or at home so short of going the pub on my own just to watch countdown I'm not sure that's gonna happen, hahaGraeme Cole wrote:Watch it again and see if anything seems different from normal.
