When I got MISTAKE on the show I made a mistake in saying it was MIS-TAKE, but I sure wasn't tempted to add the D!

Wasn't there only one E in the RESOLE/aerolas^ round? I feel Susie may have made an error.

3rd numbers: ((100 - 75) x 10 + 1) x 2 - 9 = 493

Bit late but ( (100-75)×10+1)×2-9=493
Edit - Yeah what Worsley says.

Susie said only the AE plural was in the dictionary, not that it was valid in that selection.Rhys Benjamin wrote:Wasn't there only one E in the RESOLE/aerolas^ round? I feel Susie may have made an error.

No, I mean RESOLE shouldn't have been allowed, I don't think. Unless I misread the selection.Tony Atkins wrote:Susie said only the AE plural was in the dictionary, not that it was valid in that selection.Rhys Benjamin wrote:Wasn't there only one E in the RESOLE/aerolas^ round?

Defo said RESOLD in my opinion.Tony Atkins wrote:Are you sure he didn't say RESOLD?Rhys Benjamin wrote:No, I mean RESOLE shouldn't have been allowed, I don't think. Unless I misread the selection.
BASELOAD in round 5, AGONISM in round 8 and TOEING in round 10.
1st Numbers Alt.: (75 x 9) - (7 - ((25 - 1) / 8))) = 671

Re: Spoilers for Wednesday April 16th 2014 (S70 P67)
Not really a spoiler this, but a question-raising introduction today:
Rachel's not seen a Bond film until the latest one, which she watched because she thought it was going to be different to all the others, then discovered it wasn't - how does she know?
Louise is going to cycle 272 miles from Padstow to London at the rate of 100 miles a day - she will overshoot!
And in between, Nick slags off every Bond between Connery and Craig as 'rubbish!' - hmmmmm.......

By the way, Nick never asks people what they also had if they stick with six or seven or whatever. It used to be quite interesting when contestants were asked this. So this is disappointing.

Agreed, which makes me think he isn't really that interested in what's going on.Gavin Chipper wrote:By the way, Nick never asks people what they also had if they stick with six or seven or whatever. It used to be quite interesting when contestants were asked this. So this is disappointing.
I thought I was good at Countdown until I joined this forum

Sometimes she does, because Nick never does and she wants it to happen so has to make it happen herself. She should give Nick a look as if to say "Why the fuck didn't you ask?" when she does it.Philip Wilson wrote:Susie did it today's programme [Thursday] though, first time anyone has in ages I think.

I know his opponent, David Jameson from the Mind Sports Olympiad, which is an annual multi-games tournament in London. At the last event in August, a Countdown rep was recruiting, so he must have signed up (me also) at the event.
