Countdown Calendar

Post by Kai Laddiman »

Just to add any comments about this year's calendar. For example, on 23rd January the puzzle doesn't list HANDSPAN as an answer, yet it is in ODE2r. :?:

I think you're meant to send Damian a letter every time you find a mistake like that. Then at the end of the year whoever has spotted the most errors wins a prize.

When I clicked on the link, I thought someone was trying to organise a "Hunks of Countdown" calendar. I say whoever wins CoC gets to be on the cover.

This is what happens when the writer of the calendar asks for the COLIN 2009 date during October 2007!

(He got the 2010 one right though. :))

Why hasn't there been a 4-large target 209 yet then?
