Spoilers For Tuesday 27th April 2010
Well the climax of Series 62 will be recorded today and tomorrow and a select group of lucky people are in Manchester watching it unfold.
The rest of us will have to make do with the latest prelim edition of Series 62 which features 3 time winner Nicki who may or may not be back recording today. She'll definitely need to win today and tomorrow to stand any chance and the long awaited second octochamp party of the series could be next Monday.

Re: Spoilers For Tuesday 27th April 2010
Thanks Marc! Be a love and leave it next time I'm sure I've seen you doing plenty of "would have been XXXXXX there but it's CSW only" posts before, so dunno why this one got culled.Marc Meakin wrote:Wanted to delete the post but couldn't.Matt Morrison wrote:This is way more annoying than leaving whatever was there intact.

Re: Spoilers For Tuesday 27th April 2010
Slightly simpler version of the 3rd numbers : (6x25+2) x (10-6)
I do hope Rachel gets well soon

Re: Spoilers For Tuesday 27th April 2010
The contestants virtually did this. They said, essentially, 25x6x4+10 for their 2 away. They wanted to do 25x6x4+8 which is 25x6x4+2x4, which is (25x6+2)x4, which is what Rachel did. Job done.Ray Folwell wrote:Slightly simpler version of the 3rd numbers : (6x25+2) x (10-6)

Re: Spoilers For Tuesday 27th April 2010
Sometimes I get frustrated when Rachel's method is very very similar to the contestants and just involves splitmultiplicationising it, yet she presents it in a totally different-looking way.Kirk Bevins wrote:The contestants virtually did this.

I think usually the contestants don't see the link at all and it's a shame Rachel doesn't get another 10 seconds just to explain how they could have developed their method just slightly to get it right.

Re: Spoilers For Tuesday 27th April 2010
Agreed. I can appreciate that Rachel's got a few things to think about at the same time, while not forgetting her own solution. I can also see it could look like trying to make contestants look foolish, but Susie often does something similar ("You'll kick yourself") without upsetting anyone. It would be good to illustrate the tricks of the trade for viewers at home in this way.Matt Morrison wrote:Sometimes I get frustrated when Rachel's method is very very similar to the contestants and just involves splitmultiplicationising it, yet she presents it in a totally different-looking way.
