So, it's yet another curtailed week of Countdown this week, as thanks to the Grand National, we're restricted to 3 episodes...
Our new champion is John Parke, who managed to conquer 5-time champion Sean Cooke on Friday, but we might still see him for the finals in June, with him currently the #4 seed....
Tim Vine is in DC today and tomorrow, before Alistair McGowan returns on Wednesday.
Join Sean for the recap later.

BRAWNIER as an alternative in the AIRBORNE round.
That's four ball's ups Steve's committed and we still have five rounds left.

Bizarre numbers solve by Rachel at the end. If you're going to do 27×7 then it's 100-75+10/5 or 100-75+10-8. If you're going to start with 100+75, you might as well then add 14. 7×10/5 or 10+5-8+7.

What kind of drugs is Tim on during his anecdotes? Judging from today's darts-related one they do seem to permit him to do maths quickly.
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.

I thought I was good at Countdown until I joined this forum

I think she just wanted to do something a bit silly after all the somewhat annoying misses in the numbers games today. She held back well from mentioning 19x50 in the previous one after all!Gavin Chipper wrote:Bizarre numbers solve by Rachel at the end. If you're going to do 27×7 then it's 100-75+10/5 or 100-75+10-8.

What I thought was strange was how both contestants stuck with 2 large when they were not very successful at it! Personally I find that the hardest choice, but then yeah I know it wasn't me playing.
