So, we're still in the quarter-finals of Series 70, but as with Series 68 at this time last year, we're going to be forced off air, because of Channel 4's coverage of Royal Ascot.

Mark Foster will be in DC, and with Andy still off, I'll be recapping later.

Samir will not beat Mark with numbers like that! Alt 1st method (5+9)x50-100+(4x2)

MARKET+E=MEERKAT

How could Susie miss something so simples ?

Expected result really. Well played Samir, stuff like ADIPATES and REGIONALS are very missable.

Excellent performance, Samir. Some great words as ever and I certainly think you're Mark's biggest challenger for series winner, not that I'm discounting the others.

I'm sure REGIONALS appeared just a few weeks ago. That's the only explanation for me spotting it!

Never heard of ADIPATES so I was impressed.

Very impressive letters from Samir, just a tad off with the numbers, but should make a good final, if it is him and Mark, but let's certainly not count our chickens yet.............

BOLUSES in round 1.

3rd Numbers Alt.: ((100 - 9) x 6) - 9 - 3 = 534
