Spoilers For Thursday February 3rd 2011

Post by James Robinson »

So, Edward is now sitting comfortably in the champions' chair following his brilliant win yesterday.

Interestingly, his 115 is the highest debut score for any contestant since a certain Jack Hurst's 114, back in October. Is that an omen, I wonder :?:

I'll be back later with the Robinson Recap. ;) :) :D

115 is higher than 114 though, I don't get it.

Basically, I couldn't think of any higher from the recent past. I think the most recent is probably Andrew Hulme's 133, but since he didn't win his series, I thought Edward might be happier with that statistic, even if it is slightly flawed. :)

Edward is so cool! Although I'm confused as to how to pronounce his surname. Jeff started with [mˈkʌlə] and then moved on to [mˈkʌlək]. The other bloke seems very robotic sitting opposite Edward.

David's having a STINKER, but at least he showed some emotion this round.

Another top notch performance Ed - well played. That very tough conundrum appears to be invalid on Lexplorer so must be one of the new additions to the new dictionary.

1st Numbers Alt.: (7 x 7 x 10) - 25 - 9 = 456
2nd Numbers Alt.: (((25 x 3) - 7) x 5) + 8 = 348
3rd Numbers Alt.: (100 - 6) x (5 + 3) = 752

Well done again, Edward. ;) :) :D

By the way I think I had OSTEOIDS in an early round which hasn't been mentioned.

Edit: No I didn't.
