So, the champions' chair merry-go-round is in full swing, as we now have a 3rd different occupant in it today, with Paul Stevenson (and his fan club in the audience) in the chair, after beating Gwen Robinson yesterday.
He looks like a decent contestant, 10 maxes yesterday proves otherwise.
Can he win no.2 today
Find out with me later.

I'm guessing that's a typo/joke given James doesn't even average 9 per game (and a cursory glance of the top n players on apterous shows that not many average more than 10).Matt Morrison wrote:Harsh!

Correct, Michael. It was a slight gaffe, but I'm used to that by now.Michael Wallace wrote:I'm guessing that's a typo/joke given James doesn't even average 9 per game (and a cursory glance of the top n players on apterous shows that not many average more than 10).Matt Morrison wrote:Harsh!

Not sure why I added the "otherwise" bit at the end there. Should've been "it".
I was going to add to Matt's comment, "Wish I knew "

Really good contest today. My brain must have been going slow as I struggled even more than usual to come up with anything useful. I looked up only one on Lexplorer, which told me that ^HARDONS aren't allowed in Countdown.

Re: Spoilers For Wednesday May 12th 2010
Interesting that bit at the end about the Teletubbies, when Rachel said her favourite was "the one with the bag", and Jeff disagreed, saying "Tinky-Winky", but unless I'm not mistaken, Tinky-Winky WAS "the one with the bag".
Oh well.
A very good game again. Almost thought Paul had lost it, when he declared too far away in the last numbers.
HIJRAS as a contestant beater in round 1, GUIMPES as a DC leveller in round 4 and ERRATIC as a DC leveller in round 11.
1st Numbers Alt.: (100 + 9 + 2) x (6 - 1) = 555
2nd Numbers Alt.: (50 x 4) - (75 / 3) - 4 = 171
Oh well.
