Mark Davies is up to 4 wins, and is presently number 2 seed of the series thus far. Can he get a 5th win and further cement his position on the board?

Did anyone else notice some calculations magically appearing in the first numbers game?

25×(7-2)×(9-1)-3=997 for the standard method in round 6.

I wondered why Rachel was scribbling on her clipboard there until I saw her solution.
Obviously she missed the easy standard method.

(7x5+2)x(25+1)=962, I think

A bit shaky from Mark today. He wouldn't be able to do that against Tricia Pay.

I think Mark was tired at the end of a long day's filming. Let's hope for him he slept well the following night.

I completely agree with Gavin. This wouldn't be anywhere near good enough in the finals. But as Tony very kindly says I was exhausted after a full days filming. I could barely think in this game.

I look forward to this great game you promised me on Twitter yesterday.
Been mentioned already this series, Tony. Keep up.Tony Atkins wrote:MOANIEST must be a new word - MOANY not in ODE3.

Yes I did, and to check we saw what we saw, played back the video.Bradley Cates wrote:Did anyone else notice some calculations magically appearing in the first numbers game?
Apparently 5 x 75= 375, 3 x 10 = 30, 30 - 2 = 28 and 375 - 28 equalled 347!!!
357 was the target.
So if Mark could spill the beans as to who submitted the wrong calculation.....

I'm pretty sure it was an attempt by Rachel. She realised she'd messed up then got it during the break. I definitely didn't offer anything.

Well, it does. It's probably too many levels of abstraction for your mind though.Jon Corby wrote:Yeah, not sure that really works mate.

I'm not dead yet. In a rut right now because of stress from work. I'll be back later in S89. I also plan to bring back the Mastergram - if I can find a way to run a timer or clock through pure MediaWiki without having to upload to Vimeo every time.
