Who went and put another fit just-legal music-playing boy in the contestant seat?
It must be Freddie 'Odd' Milverton's lucky day.

SCANTIER for an anagram of CANISTER in Rd 11
And well done to Shane - I really enjoyed his run. Seems a nice bloke too.

Jeff said Shane was the "fourth seed". Whether he meant the fourth contestant to enter the finals or the number four seed I'm not sure, but Shane's the number three seed AFAIK.

Re: Spoilers, Monday 20/04/2009
has anyone got any closer to the 2nd numbers game?
10 10 8 8 2 3, target 985.
It's killing me, it'd be nice if one of you guys with your numbers tools could let me know if 982 is the closest?
I see 197 x 5 = 985 but that hasn't been much help.

I got 984 via (10x(10+2)+3)x8...not sure if 985 is possible.Matt Morrison wrote:has anyone got any closer to the 2nd numbers game?

I had that and also FUSARIA as a beater in another round, don't know which one. The one where Rachel had SAFARI.Junaid Mubeen wrote:CAPRIOLE as a beater for rd 1
According to crosswordtools' number solver, 984 is the closest it is possible to get for those numbers.
Re: Spoilers, Monday 20/04/2009
I also noticed this, he did the same to Cate Henderson by telling her she was the No.3 seed when infact she is number 2.Ben Hunter wrote:Jeff said Shane was the "fourth seed".

Same. Top guy.
I don it like it how Jeff said something along the lines of " You will be returning as the number 4 seed" as if there wont be any more octochamps with a higher points total than him.

Re: Spoilers, Monday 20/04/2009
Thought I was doing alright today but I come here and it turns out I missed CAPRIOLE, FUSARIA/RUFIYAA and ANDROGEN Oh and I didn't get MOONSET and only got 989 in the 2nd numbers which although the max is 7 points, was bettered by the challenger Oh and my PUNIEST was out of time Still I beat Shane 107-76

Re: Spoilers, Monday 20/04/2009
I had 984 a different way again:
(10+2)x8x10+8x3.
Was pleased with the DC beater CAPRIOLE and SAFARI (and then RR got it) but I missed FUSARIA, well done Chris.
196 I went (50x100-75)/25 - 1 but I doubt I'd have done it in the studio as I would have looked cocky.
OUBOETS a nice equaller in the MOONSET round too. I enjoyed Shane's run too. I wonder if Jeff (or Jeff's info) had Neil's extra 10 points from his extra conundrum down. If that was the case then Shane would be the number 4 seed.
(10+2)x8x10+8x3.

Re: Spoilers, Monday 20/04/2009
Ramsay was not only better looking than George but had (gasp) a personality too. He missed some easy words but seemed pretty good at the numbers and against an opponent on less good form than Shane he might have won a game or two.Matt Morrison wrote:Who went and put another fit just-legal music-playing boy in the contestant seat?

That was my best effort as well. And no, 985 is not possible.Stuart Arnot wrote:I also got 984 via (10x10x(8-3)-8)x2

I checked it via http://crosswordtools.com/numbers-game and you only can get 1-off. That's your 984!Junaid Mubeen wrote:I got 984 via (10x(10+2)+3)x8...not sure if 985 is possible.
