Congratulations to both players for a great game, although nerves clearly played a part. For me to be ahead of Kirk at the second break hasn't happened since that big boat with all the animlas on

Keith Bevins

Congratulations to Chris on becoming S61 champion. Well played too to Andrew and the rest of the QF and SF contestants for making the final stages so memorable.

I was absolutely hammered by Andrew today, well played sir. EXTRINSIC was amazing.

Just an alternative numbers R5

RENEWAL in R9
OAKIEST in R12

Keith Bevins

Just a couple of number options:-
R10 75*10-(7*(5+5))-2
R14 three ways none of which go up to 400 and down again
(9*4-5)*10
((4*10)-9)*10
(9+4-10)*100+10

Carol Vorderman - see if she gets more than 30 Victoria Beckham - see if she gets more than 3. if POUT is there she might Gordon Ramsay - not enough F's and K's i guess. Gordon Brown - he will learn by his mistakes. Alex Ferguson - should do well if you give him 4 extra minutes. That should wind a f...

Keith Bevins

The opposite to Kirk for me. Managed to outscore Innis for the first time today but it took 14 maxes to do it. (Checked with Kirk and I outscored him too which is as rare as rocking horse ****). Innis is playing so well though and well done to him. Be interesting to see how long he holds on to numbe...

Keith Bevins

Not surprisingly i gave Kirk a vote based on combination of apterous and on show achievement, plus I am biased but balanced it with a vote for Junaid who I thought was awesome on last series (sorry Charlie).

Keith Bevins

I would have had a pb if I noticed that COSTABLE which is a no no is an anagram of OBSTACLE. oops!

Keith Bevins

I got 151-58 against the champion and 151-20 against the challenger so would have been 2 records: highest score and largest margin. I couldn't believe it when the C came out for CAVEWOMAN though. Where did you miss the one point? Was it hotspur? Spoke to Kirk earlier and yes hotspur was the one poi...

Keith Bevins

As a suitably proud dad I have to say well played Kirk and commiserations to Jimmy. I thought all the QF'SF's and Final were excellent to watch and what makes me happy above all else (as a watcher of the prog since day 1) is that it firmly lays to rest any fears that Countdown wouldn't be the same w...

Keith Bevins

Well played to Neil and Kirk.
Can anybody tell me where doctor Phil lives so I can go watch round his house. I nearly had a heart attack today. That was so awesome a game.
Both players slaughtered me today, my one bit of glory was first numbers:-
100-(8*2)=84
84*(7+4)=924

Keith Bevins

Can't believe the contorted way I arrived at the 450 to subtract the 1 in R14. Completely missed 75*6!!! Oooops

75/25+6=9
9*50=450
450-1=449

Keith Bevins

When Hamish got his 2nd numbers wrong by using the 3 too often he could have done:-
(75-3)*(9+8-7)+3
I see Hamish as a dark horse to win (but i hope I am wrong Kirk before you kill me

)
I did get fractious but missed portioned.

Keith Bevins

I've voted for Kirk but I might be a tad biased :D Yep, because surely if he did win he would have told his own Dad, so if he didn't you love him so much you'll even rewrite history for him. ;) Sorry to disappoint you Derek but despite many desperate attempts by me to trip him up during conversatio...

Keith Bevins

Damn I missed the Kirk plug too.

Just one spoiler
Equaller in R3 COLITIS

Keith Bevins

I've voted for Kirk but I might be a tad biased

Keith Bevins

Just the one - KINESIS in R11

Plus a dodgy engineers term DEBURRS in R4 but could be hyphenated

Keith Bevins

3rd numbers alternative (100+6/2)*8-(10-9)=823

Keith Bevins

CANDIED in R7
NITRIDE in R8
CHANGER in R9

Keith Bevins

just a couple of 7sin R 6 - SHUTTER HIRSUTE
and CLOISTER in R8
Was feeling smug with VALANCE till Susie put a D on the end.

Keith Bevins

I really like the show. A word of warning Kirk the arguing over the cash isn't always at the end. Yesterday it was half way through as the contestants lost their 2 allowable liflines early on. Felt really sorry for lady today. It was mostly down to her that they had decent money but they had lost 2 ...

Keith Bevins

Annoyingly TV went off for rounds 2 and 3 so couldn't get a full score.
EVASION in R 8
last numbers (75-8)*4-(9+4-10)
can't believe neither of them got conundrum

Keith Bevins

MiNGIEST in R8
2nd numbers (50+4)*(9+2)-1=593
3rd numbers as already mentioned above

Managed to pip Jimmy today for the first time, primarily due to obituary in R2.

Keith Bevins

Also Vaguest in R3
and Blouson in R7
was feeling smug with unearths in R4 till Jimmy de-smugged me.

Keith Bevins

DIETARY in R13

Keith Bevins

Pass the humble pie. I should never have doubted him should I.
I did tell him I would eat my hat if he didn't become an octochamp though so i must have had some faith in him. (I don't like hats they get stuck in my throat)

Keith Bevins

Round ? ARBORIST in the round when Kirk got ARBITERS. DC didn't mention it and my humble dictionary didn't have it in but Kirk tells me its ok.

Keith Bevins

Can i change my mind? my 875 is approx 109 average which i thought about right after 2 games and now it seems a low total but can the 9's keep coming? I hope you prove me wrong kirk. In any case I am one very proud dad. (Eating humble pie but like i said before my hat is safe

)

Keith Bevins

Awesome is the only word i can think of. And thats only a 7 which seems inadequate.

Keith Bevins

What can i say. After the euphoria of beating him yesterday i got absolutely destroyed today. If you weren't my son kirk i'd hate you

or then again maybe not.

Keith Bevins

Likewise Junaid. I beat him with crucial conundrum. Can't believe he took so long.

Keith Bevins

Sorry kirk i voted no (because Ryan told me to). I am going for 875. Ryan still says you're a pro though

Keith Bevins

I agree with Phil and others about using weird words when simple words of same length are safer. Obviously if the weird word is longer thats a different story.

Don't know if its been done already but for 760 i did:-
(((25-7)*4)+9-5)*10

Keith Bevins

I do wish you would all stop calling kirk god. Having aged another year last week i feel old enough already without being gods dad

Keith Bevins

Alternative numbers R5:-
75*10-((4+3)*(5+2))=701

Keith Bevins

I agree with Debbie I think he made the right decision. I think he was trying to do the honourable thing and return the show to a dancing competition. Unfortunately however he will be criticised for it one way or another and therefore was in a no-win situation.

Keith Bevins

Just PRAYING as an equaller in R9

Keith Bevins

Mistake as equaller in R12

Keith Bevins

Jerboa in R2
(((8*8)+(10*6))-2)*6=732
And i went for BOUNTIED in R8 (as in placed a bounty on someones head) but it wasnt mentioned so assume its invalid

Keith Bevins

SURETIES as equaller in round 7

Keith Bevins

I take your point jon and fully agree with you and won't be playing him again but if it didn't get highlighted he could keep spoiling games for others.Btw my rating nor game counter altered when he quit.

Keith Bevins

This has happened twice when playing Chris. The first time i assumed a crash and upon re-entering the resume option not appearing. The second time I was suspicious but having read Matthews post it appears that he did the same to me.

Keith Bevins

Its a long standing bone of contention between myself and dartsmeister kirk. I know you could argue till the cows come home about it. It gets him going though

Keith Bevins

Sorry Kirk but darts is a game not a sport. Check dictionary if you don't believe me.

Keith Bevins

Well played again Charlie. I actually managed to outscore Charlie today ( can't say beat him as we were not competing directly) for the first time ever either on his TV games or online.

Keith Bevins

So sorry to hear that Charlie.

Keith Bevins

Dentists.
Closely followed by flying.

Keith Bevins

Aston Vanilla for me

Keith Bevins

Round 10 numbers:-

536 can be made as follows:
(75+25+10)*5-(7*2)

Whether that is how CV did it is of course unknown.

Keith Bevins

I agree with Julie's comment. It wasn't pretty especially as i was, hopefully jokingly, labelled a murderer.

I played, and lost to, 3 of the 'names' and all were pleasant enough and as Charlie says don't let it get to you.

Cheers

Keith

Keith Bevins

Helixes is a valid alternative to helices according to my dictionary.

Cheers
Keith

Keith Bevins

Carol didn't get 643 either but its quite staightforward really.

(100+8)*(4+2)-(8-3)=643

Cheers

Keith

Keith Bevins

Cheers for that Jon. I was tossing up between wariest and waryest and chose the wrong one.
