WTF was that TTT? Something like "Justin could be one of these" --> NEWCOMER.
Also I enjoyed the accidentally ironic conundrum - SUBTITLED.

Sorry, wasn’t paying attention at the time.
Re the TTT, you’re a newcomer if you’re just in. It was previously used in 2008 https://wiki.apterous.org/Episode_4666. These clues are just so much cleverer and more cryptic.

OK, thanks. I still think they should be explained.Philip A wrote: ↑Thu Oct 14, 2021 2:57 pm

Is it me, or did the challenger get points for LOANED when there was no D in the selection. Would check on subtitles, but, ya know.

R9 Alt.: 6*5*6/2*7-4 = 626
R14 Alt.: (25-10)*(50+3)-9-7 = 779
R14 Alt.: (25-10)*(50+3)-9-7 = 779

I also heard that quite clearly too. The score should have been 100-42 instead if that was the case. Also, I'm pretty sure "troup" was said in R7 but DC didn't spot the invalidity of it.Adam Dexter wrote: ↑Thu Oct 14, 2021 6:29 pm Is it me, or did the challenger get points for LOANED when there was no D in the selection.

How ironic the Conundrum was "SUBTITLED", if only they knew what was to come after this episode was recorded...

I also don't think that a tenuous link in meaning really makes something clever or cryptic. Like just in / newcomer.Gavin Chipper wrote: ↑Thu Oct 14, 2021 4:17 pmOK, thanks. I still think they should be explained.Philip A wrote: ↑Thu Oct 14, 2021 2:57 pm

I disagree, I think it’s smart.

(Interestingly, Paul would never take that tone with Eadie, Carson or Travers.)
Agree that sometimes those teasers could do with an extra comment when the joke is a bit niche or the connection tenuous.
In the case of "Just In", I got it, so didn't care... but there have been times.
