Spoilers For Monday May 12th 2014

Post by James Robinson »

So, we're back :!: :!: :D :D

But, unfortunately it's a case of deja vu all over again, as like last week, we've only got Countdown for Monday and Tuesday again this week. :( :cry:

So, Sean Fletcher returns as the champion after his 2 impressive wins last week, and will be hoping to make it a hat-trick today. 8-)

Making his début in DC this week is one half of the pair who created Princess Diana's wedding dress in 1981, and over 30 years later, has managed to become a runner-up on I'm A Celebrity........, just for that one reason. :P It's David Emanuel.

Andy will be around with the recap later. ;) :) :D :mrgreen: 8-)

Sean unlucky there as 3x9+10 would have been the 37 he needed.

Unlucky is a pretty diplomatic way of saying it.

Sean looked like he needed to go back to bed there - having missed both 9s he was lucky to survive what was presumably
an early morning show.

Alt last numbers (100+10+1)x3+6

A MAX GAME for myself, which I was happy with after almost sticking with UNSOILED, instead of UNSPOILED........... :P :oops: :lol:

SATIETY in round 10 and GROINED in round 13.

4th Numbers Alt. ((100 + 10 + 5) x 3) - 6 = 339

I've done a bit of analysis on the MSF timecode, which is encoded in the header fields of the MPEG-2 P-frames in the DVB programme stream. Allowing for the RTC discrepancy and the variations in quartz oscillation caused by magnetic field disturbance from the studio equipment, I'd say this recording started at about a quarter to eleven in the morning. Maybe a couple of minutes before.

Great to see Sean's reaction at the end there - he was overwhelmed with relief and could barely speak! Makes a change from the cool customers I've seen recently who don't flinch even when they win on a crucial (nothing wrong with that, just nice to see how much it meant to Sean).
Mike Brown: "Round 12: T N R S A E I G U

C1: SIGNATURE (18) ["9; not written down"]
C2: SEATING (7)
Score: 108–16 (max 113)

Another niner for Adam and yet another century. Well done, that man."
