Another fine round from our champ Isabella with her 7 Surgeon ..........Jagaurs is a word but there is no A in this selection of letters......sadly Susie has to say no........but there were a fair few 7s hidden away.........again not a lot to whinge about !
A veterinary surgeon they help sick and injured animals, then sometimes spay or castrate your animal if necessary

C1: 738.
C2: 737. (100 + 3) × 7 + 8 × 2 (10)
Score: 49–37 (max 82)
Plane sailing when it comes to this numbers game.......a really good solve from our challenger James that bags him 10 points which proves very useful..............but I found another way of getting 737 if you turn your attention to your 8 times table
7+2=9
100-9=91
91*8=728
728+9=737

C1: 626. (6 + 3) × 7 × 10 − 4 (10)
C2: -
Score: 84–50 (max 120)
Another fine solve from from Ms Heward.......sadly James doesn't even get close
Round 15: M A Y P O R T E R
C2 buzzes on 6.75 seconds to say PORTRAYER which is incorrect.
C1 does not buzz.
The answer was TEMPORARY.
Final Score: 84–50 (max 130)
Our challenger James guesses the conundrum incorrectly..............our champion Isabella doesn't buzz so nobody gets the conundrum, a great game all round our champion Isabella is taking steps toward octo-champdom .........but take nothing away from James he enjoyed the experience despite the nervy start he will be happy with his goody bag and 50 points............you can join me again for any future recaps..........in the meantime it is bye for now
