Does he play on Apterous much?
Just about the only thing I knew about him was that he had signed up for COLEI!

Alternative number

5 x 2 = 10
10 x 81 = 810 + 3 = 813
100 - 10 - 9 = 81
5 x 2 = 10
10 x 81 = 810 + 3 = 813

Ah wicked - yeah SUESANDER. I was screaming for a final T for SEDERUNTS and he chose a vowel. Next consonant out was T too.

I must have misread round 13 as I 'got' OPTIONED in a couple of seconds then looked away. Oops.

I was willing a final T to come out in round 12 for pentangle, but he picked a vowel.. next consonant would have been a T as well :/

I didn't! Well spotted. I like it if ever I key in the word 'QUEEN' on pred text, that appropriately enough it goes 'SUE/RUDE/QUEEN'Marc Meakin wrote:Did you notice it was nearly an anagram of your name in that roundSue Sanders wrote:Equalling DC in round 6 - UNDERSEA

Re: Spoilers For Tuesday October 6th 2009
There was a deceptively simple answer to the second numbers:
(75 + 8*6)*7 + 7
A few seconds late, sadly.

Re: Spoilers For Tuesday October 6th 2009
Round 2 - SLEIGH (no SLEIGHER unfortunately!)
Round 3 - ADOPTS & PASTOR
Round 6 - PERTAINS
Round 7 - UNDERSEA (not round 6, as Sue said)
Round 8 - OBLATES
Round 12 - ANGEL & PLANE, but there are probably millions of 5's!
Alternative to 3rd numbers:
25 - 1 = 24
24 x 9 = 216
Round 3 - ADOPTS & PASTOR
Round 6 - PERTAINS
Round 7 - UNDERSEA (not round 6, as Sue said)
Round 8 - OBLATES
Round 12 - ANGEL & PLANE, but there are probably millions of 5's!

Did I mean "deceptively difficult"?

Re: Spoilers For Tuesday October 6th 2009
I just wondered if when Rachel said before the break that she'd used the 7 twice, had she forgotten that there were 2 7's,Sue Sanders wrote:Yeah - that's what I spent the commercial break doing, then Rachel spoiled it by doing a 'solve'.Clive Brooker wrote:There was a deceptively simple answer to the second numbers:

Re: Spoilers For Tuesday October 6th 2009
I think, if I remember correctly, she wrote it out, but she then found out that she used the 7 three times, so a replacement sheet was brought on so they could do the shot again, with the slight error about the 7's.Liam Tiernan wrote:I just wondered if when Rachel said before the break that she'd used the 7 twice, had she forgotten that there were 2 7's, and actually had got the right solution all along?Sue Sanders wrote:Yeah - that's what I spent the commercial break doing, then Rachel spoiled it by doing a 'solve'.Clive Brooker wrote:There was a deceptively simple answer to the second numbers:

SEPTARIAN?
If I suddenly have a squirming baby on my lap it probably means that I should start paying it some attention and stop wasting my time messing around on a Countdown forum

For the first time ever my solution to the second numbers hasn't already been posted!
(75+25*(8-6))*7 - 7 = 868
(75+25*(8-6))*7 - 7 = 868
