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.

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.

Apterous is killing robots.

Equallers: STOOLIES, VELETA, UPSTREAM for SOLIDEST, ZEALOT, TEMPURAS respectively.
And UNGUENT to equal NEUTRON.
Alternative 3rd numbers (100-6)x(5+3)=752

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

Stinker of a conundrum too. I was nowhere near it.

Wp again Cullen. I love how vocal the audience were today, a lot of oooooohs and aaaahhhhsss. Greg Wallace is awesome, probably my 2nd fave DC guest.

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.

Watching todays show on +1 so sorry if this alternate first numbers round solution has been posted as don't want to see any other spoilers.

25 x 9 = 225

25 + 10 - 7 = 228

228 x 2 = 456

ARMOIRES as a beater in the CARRIES round

2nd numbers round alternate:

25 + 7 - 3 = 29

8 + 4 = 12

29 x 12 = 348

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.

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

Edit: No I didn't.
