Spoilers for Thursday 6th May 2021 (Series 83, Preliminary 89)

[Toby McDonald]

OUTWAITS in R4

R14 Alt.: (5*2+7+100)*8 = 936

[Adam Dexter]

R1: Love that Champ played BOSTIN - this is a very Black Country word so nice to see a local playing it and it being in

R6 solve: (((50 x 10) - 7) x 2) + 5 = 991. I'm surprised Rachel missed it... a simple split multiplication.

R8: SMOOTH+E = SMOOTHE... would have thought Susie might have mentioned it but maybe sparing contestant's blushes.

Felt for Challenger in R13 - always painful to find a good word that was valid, but misspell it...

R14 Alt: (((50 + 5) x 2) + 7) x 8) = 936. Thought Rachel's way was unintuitive - seems strange to make two separate parts and add them when it divides by one of the smalls.

Edit: Made a mess-up in R6

[Gavin Chipper]

Round 6 must be 50 × 10, not 100 × 5 because you've used the 5 twice. Otherwise it works!

[Mark Kudlowski]

In the '361' numbers round, alternate solution is (25 - 6) x (8 + 8 +3). That's squares for you.

In the round where Susie got REDCOATS (with the P unused), is there a 9-letter answer there connected to something she does with Gyles Brandreth ?

[Gavin Chipper]

PODCASTER is in, yes.

You are quite right - edited. Silly me

You might say that it is More Than A Feeling

Alt r6: (50 x 5) + (75 x 10) - 7 - 2 = 991, but out of time
