So I was casually reading about logic puzzles and found this, apparently the world's hardest doable sudoku puzzle.

Apparently in the Telegraph's 1-5 star hardness scale it'd get an 11.

Anyone else think the way Jonathan plays the game is frustrating to watch? He is missing some good words by constantly running with this awkward 6 consonant routine. This might be good as a method of getting wins, but I think he's a good enough player that he should feel that he doesn't have to reso...

Hey man, welcome I just had a quick look in the dictionary for you (the same one I received when I was on TV this year - therefore, by extension, the same one Susie will have until Summer 2014) and I believe GRANITES would be allowed because it's listed in the dictionary secondarily "as modifie...

ALTIPENIS has two solutions right?

Everyone seems to be too polite to solve all three. That changes here

Interesting to note that if BLEATINGS had been allowed last time around, Chris Ball would have elevated from number 7 seed to number 6 seed with the extra 18 points and ended up playing Eileen Taylor in the QF's and Andy would have played Jill Hayward! Furthermore I picked vowel here in case the ne...

Nice miss in round 6.

The end of series 69 is just before Christmas in terms of broadcast terms. In terms of recording terms it was this week.

ACLEANBUM was used in one of the 8 out of 10 cats shows as a conundrum

Andy Platt

Nice work. Didn't think it'd be so close to be honest.

I had a feeling 17 might be a good shout for mode (slightly better player wins conundrum and one letters/tricky numbers). Interesting stuff

Andy Platt

Hi Jen. Sarah won 104-77 or something like that.

Andy Platt

Wondered where I recognised Anne from, one of the Co:Edi crew.

Edit, I reckon I got about 5 or 6 maxes in that game. Was it just me or were loads of those rounds really awkward?

Andy Platt

Yeah, I guess almost everyone picks 4 vowels with that sort of selection, so we won't ever get to see it in apto-chat as a 9 teaser. And you know it's obscure when it's not a listed conundrum.

Andy Platt

Er I dunno

Graeme, where does "Ask Graeme?" rank on the list of all threads ever posted on c4c, sorted by post count?

Also Graeme knows we love him already <3

But cheers

No. Tell us what it is. This is the spoilers thread.

What are the mode and mean margins of victory?

And would it be possible to compare that to apterous?

Thanks

Lost my max game (

WARHORSE in round 7 as a corner-beater

Andy Platt

Yeah, surprised Rachel missed that. I wonder if she might have been looking for trick solutions like ((75 - 4 - 3) x 100 - 50) / 25, but got a bit mixed up.

As a sexist aside, how fit was the girl that answered the conundrum?

Andy Platt

Zarte: "To be honest, if you can't average 5 over ten letters rounds, you're gonna struggle with a Countdown audition"
Callum: "Or a book"

Andy Platt

Ha, he kept that quiet.

SEAGOING was there in one round to beat the corner but I missed it as well.

Andy Platt

Matrices in round 10 to beat the corner.

Andy Platt

Quality conundrum scramble from Damian there.

Andy Platt

Two eights in the STUDIES+LY round, not by my hand, but noticed them in lexplorer when checking something else. Anyone get one?

Andy Platt

Try filmon

Andy Platt

Haha, love it.

Andy Platt

Cool. VERBATIM alternative in the AMBIVERT round

Andy Platt

Were there any DC beaters in that game? Might have maxed it but there'll always be one little fucker that got away.

Andy Platt

Never seen HERSTORY before in my life, fair play to Bradley there.

One of the best non-apterous contestants ever, you have to feel.

I can't access, its just blank

Another quality performance from Bradley there. Is there anyone coming up who can stop him?

Anybody work out what SPRAINED+K was? SPIKENARD in R10. Edit Round 14: ((75 + 2) x 50 x 3 + 100) / 25, took me well over 30 seconds though. Unlucky Sean there, thought you played well enough to beat around 75% of contestants, but unfortunate to run into Bradley there. His only weakness seems to be ...

Andy Platt

Is Bradley an apterite under a psuedonym or one of the best non-apterites in recent memory? I'm not sure. After SFUMATO, I'm thinking the same thing. Sorry if I sound like an elitist prick, but I refuse to believe that anybody picks that up without apterous. The other alternative is that he has mad...

Andy Platt

Round 6 numbers: (100 x 50 - 75 - 5) / 5 - 25 = 959 as a Rachel-beater

Andy Platt

One of the best decisions to pick for a final vowel I've ever seen - was hoping Sean would capitalise there - AEROLITES for 9 in round 2 as a DC beater.

Andy Platt

Great game.

Standard wise pretty good too, especially the challenger in his first game (10-11 maxes maybe?)
Shame about Mark in round 9 and indeed the conundrum, as a tie-break would have been a very fitting end to the game.

Well played both, shame you can't both be in finals.

I think this might well be still valid on apterous, but following some debate after Wilson-Travers in the 30BC, it's now disallowed (as per the new contestant guidelines)

Cool. A live band also starts downstairs about half an hour or so after our presentations should be done.

And 25. Awkward.

Andy Platt

A) It was more complicated and needed more effort on our part with the spreadsheet B) Numbers rounds would be frustrating and long winded because the player who lost that round would need to prove they had what they declared even after the round has already been lost. C) Graeme's results ticker whic...

Get your priorities right Kirk
