Don't tell us what LUTENIST means then. It's someone who plays the lute, which is what I would have guessed except that it doesn't fit the clue - something about playing this in a Bedfordshire town. You don't play a lutenist!

Rare to see either contestant use that sort of method to get to 858, let alone both!

Did anyone noticed Nick's laughing before the clock ticking in round 10? I'm still puzzled why he was laughed :/

Re: Spoilers for Wednesday May 20th 2015 (S72 P84)
There are some nice alternative number solves here I think although the last one took me quite a bit longer than 30 seconds! Prime factorisation is a complex problem (2 x 3 x 11 x 13)
Alt first numbers: 75 x 7 + (25 - 6) x (100 / 50)
Alt second numbers: (100 - (3 x 10)) x 9 - 4
Alt third numbers: (75 + 50 - 9) x (100 / 25) - 2
Alt fourth numbers: (100 - 25 + 3) x ((2 x 5) + 1)
Alt first numbers: 75 x 7 + (25 - 6) x (100 / 50)
Alt second numbers: (100 - (3 x 10)) x 9 - 4
Alt third numbers: (75 + 50 - 9) x (100 / 25) - 2
Alt fourth numbers: (100 - 25 + 3) x ((2 x 5) + 1)
