Countdown recap for Tuesday 15 April 2014. C1: Champion Mark Murray (3 wins, 343 points.) He beat the excellent apterite Ciaran McCarthy 120-104 yesterday in a thriling contest. However he may be hoping that he doesn't do quite as well today, as Nick says that if he does he'll have to give us a rend...

Me at the screen in round 8: "vowel, vowel, vowel, vowel, vowel, oh for fuck's sa- oh actually that'll do."

MIAULED in round 4.

Callum Todd

Great game, Ciaran was fantastic and very unlucky not to win. Mark's really proving his ability here by winning games against very tough competition.

Countdown recap for Tuesday 1 April 2014. C1: Champion Ann Robinson (2 wins, 153 points.) She made a very impressive 39-point comeback yesterday, and with a little help from the Countdown clock she made the record books with the quickest ever conundrum solve. C2: Challenger Adaam Morali-Hosiene. DC:...

BEAMIER r2.

Callum Todd

Yep.

Yeah, he's good. If he can find play consistently at the level he managed today then he could do well. Looking forward to seeing Colin Murray in DC, haven';t seen much of him since he left MOTD2.

ORNAMENT round 2

Callum Todd

Decent contest, wasn't a mega standard by either player but a tight crucial always makes for a good spectacle. Cliff was fractions behind on the conundrum, I felt pretty bad for him to lose on an -ING crucial. I can sympathise. :) Shouldn't a more difficult conundrum be employed if it's a crucial o...

FA, take note.

GOLIATH disallowed. Let the controversy ensue.

Callum Todd

Watching the show i thought the contestant must have misspelt it with an extra e in the middle (ROPEIEST) rather than misdeclaring. That's exactly what the subtitler thought, as when I scrolled back I saw that ropeiest with the extra 'e' appeared on the screen. However, watching that part 2 or 3 ti...

Well, as errors go, that's a pretty big one!

thanks for pointing it out James, I shall correct it. Apologies to Cliff if he sees this.

Callum Todd

From experience, how long do they normally take to let you know if you got through an audition? I just had mine, played solidly mostly but had one fantastic round (beat 8 others in the room) and one mare (1 off a reasonably simple numbers) so I'm not sure either way at all. Am I going to have a wee...

Nice introduction for the new contestants by Nick.

Callum Todd

Bradley's nailed it. I don't really know about changes being made to prevent it, a lot of the suggestions here sounds like good ideas, but I just think people should be aware that buzzing before you have the answer is, at best, very poor sportsmanship and, at worst, cheating. Like Gevin has said, so...

Callum Todd

Surely the rules are you press the buzzer, Nick asks for your answer, and then you provide it without delay? If you do that, how would anyone know the difference? "How would anyone know the difference?" sounds like you know that it's something wrong and that statement would be used to sug...

Callum Todd

You press the buzzer and then when asked, you give the answer without hesitation. How are you doing anything wrong? It's far worse when someone takes an unduly long time to talk through a numbers calculation. That looks suspicious. If you don't have the answer when you press the buzzer, you are buy...

Callum Todd

[quote="Martin Thompson"]I thought I should have pressed the buzzer straight away and gambled on spotting it, as it was quite easy.[/quote}

You're not supposed to do that, it's kind of cheating.

This is awesome James, it's clear you've put a lot of thought and effort into planning and executing this. Thanks a lot, and please pass my thanks onto Jeff as well

I just need to get a good idea of what I'll be doing for accommodation then I'll send my entry fee to you

HETAIRA in the round where the contestants got FATHER

Callum Todd

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I joined apterous midway through .03 so I'm not sure exactly how these things work: can I apply for this series, even though I was in .03? Or do you have to sit out a series?

So is James doing tonight's then? I can do it if it needs doing, but if James can/is doing it I'm in no rush to steal it from him.

I should have mentioned, James is away tomorrow, so I'm doing the recap.

I'd really like to attend this but I'm not sure if the travel will be doable for me. Is anyone here getting there by train? If so, what station are you travelling to, and how do you plan to travel from that station to the venue?
