So, we return to a normal state of Countdown-ness this week, after the interruption of some thoroughbreds going round an oval or two. :P

Our one show last week gave us a new champion, Chris Dromey. But with Thomas Cappleman expected on Thursday, is his stay going to be short-lived..... :? :?:

Tim Vine continues in DC until Thursday, with Nicky Campbell taking over on Friday.

Join Andy for the recap later. ;) :) :D

Seeing the PIRATES in Round 1 reminded me of COREA 2013 when the pirates turned up.

With numbers games like that I don't expect Chris to last until Thursday.

Reading got another mention in the sp-reading round!

Apologies Tony, sadly no "Pirates" this year. Diane and Jessica will be going to Aylesbury for a Scrabble Tournament to get their quota of games in to qualify for the Scrabble Masters, while Natasha and I are going to Chelsea FC having registered for the Topps Match Attax Swap and Play Tour where we'll look forward to swapping doubles for needs to complete my Trading Card and Sticker collections :D

Indeedy do, a 14-maxer for me, as I couldn't quite solve the 3rd numbers game, which my mum got just after the time with: (((25 x 2) + 6) x 10) - 9 - 3 = 548

PARTITE in round 7 and OTTOMAN in round 12.

1st Numbers Alt.: (((25 x 3) - 5) x 8) - (9 - 6) = 557

1st numbers the same way, 3rd numbers I did (10+9+3) x 25 - 2. I think if I had been choosing the 4th numbers game I would have gone 6 small, just so RR couldn't choose 25 again!
Btw I read the conundrum as Celia Sold too.
