We had bags of time. I was all for it but Kate said you were just TOO hideous to ruin the climax of a final with.............

Only joking DamianJust face it Damian you chose an "easy" conundrum and MINESHAFT or PAYMASTER would have been worthy final conundrums.
Very much so Damian. Cheers for the opportunity (i'm presuming you had something to do with it!). It kinda made up for the disappointment of not playing in the finals. Felt like a bit of a numpty though but still it was a great experienceHope you enjoyed your stint on the national ITV news bulletin Jason

I was actually just trying to say something nice, since he's a member of the forum and all that.Damian E wrote:Martin Gardner wrote: So overall well done to David, clearly the best player of the Series and well done to Richard as well who deserved to be an Octochamp and should still return for the next CofC.

Funny you should mention the C of C. I've got 13 of the 16 participants sorted out so far, and was thinking about how many countless hours you would spend theorising and speculating over who will take part and why, their seeding, their likely pairing against another player etc.
I even thought about just posting the names up here, to deprive you of the pleasures, but realised it would be mean spirited of me.
If you can correctly name the 13 invitees so far, in 1 go, i'll happily lock myself in a room with you and Richard Brittain for 7 days in the name of entertainment.
Edit ** please delete the word happily from my last sentence.
It went great Jason, we've been inundated with women sending their panties into the office and clambering to get your phone number. My wardrobe never looked betterjasoncullen wrote:Well I was asked by Countdown to appear on the ITN national lunchtime news on Tuesday! I was asked on my views on the governments idea of having specialist teachers in our schools. It was a live interview so I was literally crapping myself when I went on air
. But overall I think it went okay and it was a good experience
Oh, could you PM me the names?Damian E wrote:I even thought about just posting the names up here, to deprive you of the pleasures, but realised it would be mean spirited of me.
Feel free to either post the ladies phone numbers through PM and/or preferably don't hesitate in sending the free panties alsoDamian E wrote: It went great Jason, we've been inundated with women sending their panties into the office and clambering to get your phone number.

Haha, I did say possibly. Perhaps you could threaten them with being locked in a room with me, Martin and RichardDamian E wrote:I can see it now Paul...............
"I'm sorry, but due to foul
play, a contestant on Countdown this afternoon was disqualified and the
victory awarded to the opponent, so today's edition will only run for 7
and a half minutes. After that, we'll have some music for you"
Did he really do it that consistently? I didn't see his octo run, but can't recall anyone on c4c calling him on it until the quarters, and he actually got beaten to the punch in one game. The only games we can be sure he did it were the quarters and the semis, although as you say it's hard to tell.Julian wrote:
Anyway, leaving aside the AS matter, buzzing
for the conundrum before you know the answer is cheating, end of. It's
like on University Challenge, when they have those occasional mental
arithmetic or similar questions, and Paxman will sternly say, "You must
work out the answer to this BEFORE you buzz" - so as to stop one team
buzzing and then umming and ahhing for 20 seconds working out the
answer, whilst the other team are out of it. Press-and-then-guess on
the conundrum is just as clearly wrong; it's more difficult to detect
though, unless you do it as often and as blatantly as Jeffrey did. And
even then there's not really much the production team can do about it.
