Another day in the Countdown studios.

Another new champion: George Raison

Another new challenger: Beverley Jones on (the aforementioned mayoress of the Ribble Valley, who I mentioned in the General about a month ago.)

Another day of John Inverdale in DC.

That's the basics done and dusted.

Hopefully, something much more interesting will be posted below.

All sounds familiar, doesn't it

[Derek Hazell]

Yep. And if someone slags you off in the next post it will have an even more familiar ring about it.


Edit: Oh. I've already broken that haven't I.

[Liam Tiernan]

Thank you, Matt. My lunch is now well and truly spoilt.

[Matt Morrison]

Thank you, Matt. My lunch is now well and truly spoilt.

There was some relevance. When Ben said "spoil away" I Google Image'd "spoiled milk" and got that picture! Most odd.

[D Eadie]

Another person who claims to be a relative of Kai Laddiman, it's his Auntie Perspirant, or is it the auditions of the new series of Strictly Midget Dancing?

[Sue Sanders]

Hmmm. A true spoiler. Not dragging myself away from Countdown has caused me to burn a quiche. In the spirit of random slagging off - I'll blame you for that, James.

[Chris Davies]

FUSARIA and UAKARIS in round 8.

[Matt Morrison]

I have no idea why people would want to post spoilers in the wrong thread. Most anal.

[Matt Morrison]

R11: Morrison beats DC shocker!
BIENNIA, the plural of BIENNIUM (two years).
Admittedly I had to check as I couldn't remember whether it was DIENNIA^ or BIENNIA, but hey.

[Matt Morrison]

Cracking game by the way. George has been spotting some good words these past couple of days.

[Charlie Reams]

HARTALS as a reasonably nice equaller with WRAITHS. I was once chatting with a Bangladeshi guy who was greatly surprised that I knew what a hartal was, I didn't let on that I'd only read it from the dictionary.

unlapped - unzapped ??

unlapped - unzapped ??

I looked them up in my dictionary and no can do, John.

Plenty of words missed, although I think some were cut out to save time.

These are some I got:

Round 2 - FUDGES and EXODUS
Round 3 - REMOTES and STOMPER
Round 4 - CAGIEST
Round 6 - REASON and SENORA
Round 8 - SHARIA
(I won't bother with the mass of 6's in Round 11)

2 alternatives for 3rd numbers (although there are plenty):

25 - 9 = 16

16 x 10 = 160

5 + 3 - 7 = 1

160 - 1 = 159

The way I did it at the studio:

7 x 25 = 175

10 + 9 - 3 = 16

175 - 16 = 159

I think somebody should start a "James Robinson in the studio" thread

[Kirk Bevins]

Brilliant!

Oh, your SHARIA in round 8 could be extended to SHARIAT in round 13. Exciting times.
