Spoilers for Wednesday 24th March 2021 (Series 83, Preliminary 58)
One year after a game was pulled from the schedules for coviddy reasons that we still haven't ever seen (ahem), Lukey Boy-nton is back for his 4th game, threatening to smash all records...
Can today's challenger stand in his way? (I already know the answer.)

Poor Bobby- Whilst he felt the pressure on the numbers, he in no way deserves to have the 2nd lowest 15 round score of all time.

2nd numbers game (using one less number than Rachel's solution):
100-10-4=86; 86x9=774; 774-3=771
100-10-4=86; 86x9=774; 774-3=771

AKETONS (and AKETON) is valid on Apterous. No sign on Lexico, so maybe an old word needing to be taken out?
But there is a lesson in there. Always go for the least obscure available option.
Edit - There's already an Apterous ticket to remove it.

Google suggests it's a proper word, so maybe seemed safe. Either way, it was pretty unlucky! Luckily didn't cost him the gameGavin Chipper wrote: ↑Wed Mar 24, 2021 8:20 pm AKETONS (and AKETON) is valid on Apterous. No sign on Lexico, so maybe an old word needing to be taken out?

Nice 203 trick in R3: ((((100*50)+75)/25)*4)-5 = 807

Google also suggests 'rinsable' is a proper word (which was in one of the rounds), but there's no mention of that on Lexico either.
