Tracey Mills is half way to octochampdom after getting her 4th win yesterday. Can she get a 5th today?

Join Jen for the recap later.

Her opponent today is a Gary Coroner. Hopefully, he won't need one by the end of the game....

Alt 2nd nos (75-10)x7+6

On the third numbers you can also reverse the multiplies and add 4 not 8 in the middle.

POGROMS beater in R10

Sombre, given the anniversary of the Holocaust.
Possibly DC had the word, but chose not to broadcast it.

BOMBSIGHT???!!! Well done to Tracey for getting that, considering it's a made-up word. I wouldn't expect a word like that outside a CoC game really.

No, they didn't, although weirdly I saw it while watching it today, but not while I was in the audience

Tracey actually beat me while I was in the studio watching, and kudos to her for spotting BOMBSIGHT, I wasn't anywhere close to that at all

DC did originally say TWEAKINGS was OK though, before switching back to TWEAKING......

2nd Numbers Alts.: ((75 - 10) x 7) + 6 & (75 x 7) - 50 - 10 - 6 + 2 = 461 (I didn't get either of those methods while in the studio either )

Made up? It's a thing, just not nearly as known of a thing as its homonym.

Also with 4 numbers, ((75-2)x7)-50 = 461

Sorry I'm catching up here but remember that one because I was so shocked I saw it so quickly!

I meant to reply to this at the time. But I think it's far too obscure a word to be a heat conundrum, but it seems it slipped in just because it has the same pronunciation as something far less obscure.

Got solved, so it can't have been that bad. Conundrums don't have to be known, just solvable.

Coincidentally, just after I posted about this today, we had today's conundrum which was neither known nor solvable and yet the challenger got it immediately. (Spoilers for a future episode. Sorry for those who are two months behind.)

A complaint about a word that people know...
