Good luck to Joe on his 2nd game.

1 + 50/25 = 3
100 + 1 = 101
101 * 3 = 303
303 + 75 = 378

Well done for finding a solution, I could only get 376 so was quite pleased with that .

numbers game 1 solution (75+50+1) x (100/25) -1) = 378

I did it multiplying 126 * 3 so not only is it not impossible there is more than one way!

Theres probably not that many solutions though, so to some, it can seem impossible.

EMPANELS

DERAILING

REDIALING?

Seconded. How did they miss that?

I think in British English it would be double L. I got DERAILING too.

I thought I had taken the letters down incorrectly, good to see that it's been confirmed here too.

Well joe was unlucky. He did well spotting VAPORISE and EMPLANES. This new player looks half decent

cannot believe DC didnt get DERAILING, shocking.

EMPLANES was a quality word tho, so well done for that

Yeah, I saw DERAILING a few seconds after I declared danglier. Went blank on two numbers games and made some silly mistakes/misses. But I didn't set out to be a multichamp - I was happy to just to win one. And I was glad I lost to someone as pleasant as Andrew.

Not only pleasant but he looks like a really good player, bad luck Joe. I think you would have been more than a match for the average contestant.

Most people would be happy with just the one win indeed, so a very well done to you Joe for winning your debut.

Well done Joe. Not many people can say they got EROTIC on national TV

A feat I managed as well

I was amused by Susie's suggestion that you would find a DRAGLINE on a building site - I think they are a bit too large for the average building site.

Also there were DOZENS of 6s in R12

I know it ruins your laudable wordplay effort but there were only half a dozen!

Shit, bad luck Joe

None of us saw that coming, really unlucky to come up against such a strong opponent in only your second game.

When the game started I thought it was a pity that two interesting youngsters were pitted against each other, when for weeks you can get a succession of boring middle aged six-hitters.

Really bad luck Joe. Are you a love child of Graham Le Saux, by the way?
Console yourself with the fact that at your age (14) I couldn't grow sideburns, so congratulations on that

Just wanted to add my congratulations to Joe on what I thought were 2 games played to a very high standard, only the pressure in the final third of his 2nd game leading to a dip in performance.

I must say, like others have noted, that I thought your ability looked worthy of a final 8 placing and I'll be very surprised if the new champion doesn't go on to have 8 wins and what could be a #2 seeding. On the other hand you never know who is waiting in the wings....
