Alt last numbers (100+8)x7-(3x3), so unlucky to Mr Joyce for messing it.

Tony Atkins

Alt for 2nd numbers (3x3x100)-75+6-4

Tony Atkins

Just found that RAMSONS (plural noun) is a plant as an alt to RANSOMS.

Tony Atkins

Alt 2nd nos (75-8-1)x(3-1) and 3rd nos (5x8-9)x25+5

Tony Atkins

DOLERITE as alt to LOITERED

Tony Atkins

Alt 1st numbers (but not a standard method) (100+1)x(9-5)+25

Tony Atkins

DOLLAR as a contestant beater in the ROADKILL round.

Tony Atkins

Beaters available in the ENCASES and PASHED rounds, but I could only manage the alt to PITTA of PUTTI.

Tony Atkins

Shame he missed the 3rd numbers to not get a pefect end to his outstanding run. Anyway, well done Jonathan.

Alt 2nd numbers (3x75+7)x4+2

Tony Atkins

James Robinson wrote:Another interesting record that Jonathan could have is being in the lead in ALL 120 rounds that he has been involved in!!

... in this run (not including his previous attempt).

Tony Atkins

Shame Jonathan risked a wrong 9 when there was a real one available. Otherwise well done again.

Tony Atkins

Well played by the challenger there, and well done to Jonathan for keeping ahead.

Only beater is in the BREATHE+UN round, I think.

Tony Atkins

Alt 4th nos (100+9-1)x4+25.

Was pleased to beat him one round - I did manage to spot and spell LIAISON. Great score though for Jonathan!

Mark Kudlowski wrote:3rd numbers alt :

((50 x 5 ) + 9 + 4) x 2

And I thought the obvious way was (50+3)x2x5-4

Jonathan only missed one max so far - those missed by DC in round 4.

Tony Atkins

(((50+(2x10))x10)/4)-2 for the 3rd numbers but out of time

Tony Atkins

Alt first numbers (8x10)+50+7

Steven M. McCann wrote:Has Gyles got a new book out? you would think it would be mentioned.

Maybe he can sell it with Susie's book as a TWOFER (beater in R10)?

Tony Atkins

Thanks to Jonathan's nervously quick buzz I managed to win today, but I hope to lose to him lots of times later this week.

Tony Atkins

PANDEMIC as alt 8 for those who don't want the 9.

Tony Atkins

Chris could have added the D for an equaller with AVIATED.

Tony Atkins

Several alts around for first 3 rounds eg DOMAINS, SORTABLE, (3x25+(6/6))x5-9

Tony Atkins

The winner of this should be called the Co.mk Don. Don Dylan Taylor then (8 wins 509 points, then winning the final 61-71). Second was James Robinson (7 wins 502 points, then losing finalist). 3rd was James Rowan and 4th Jack Worsley. Thomas Carey won the Beater's Raffle and Graeme Cole the best ma...

Tony Atkins

What's the recommendation for parking? Does it have a car park or is parking on streets nearby possible?

Tony Atkins

The correct style in third numbers is 75+50 to make the 125 and not 100+25 as you don't have two numbers
that divide left over.

Tony Atkins

Beaters available in R2 form PISTOLE+GU and in R4 from HAUNTER+BI.

Having got GASPER myself I guessed the Catsdown-style joke was coming.

Peter Mabey wrote:Alt 2nd numbers (9+7-10)x8x9

That was my first way (432 is my favourite 3 digit number) - expected them to do 9x50-10-8 or (50-9+7)x9 and not their way.

Tony Atkins

Darn - just spotted the alt of (6x10x10)/2 + 7x8 for the last numbers.

Tony Atkins

I assume Susie tried to reject REMOTER, hence the odd comment from Nick about having to edit it.

Tony Atkins

Has anybody else ever got the same score three days in a row?

Tony Atkins

I think there's a 7 in the OOTIDS+XGA round.

Alt of HOURIS to HORRID SHROUD

Alt last numbers (8+5)x75+25-100/50

Tony Atkins

UNSNAPS to beat SAUNAS

Tony Atkins

Oh well 8-7-6-5-4-3-1-1-1.

A beater around in the GAITS+PPUZ round.

Tony Atkins

This was held at Christ Church in Woodley, near Reading. This is the home too of COREA. This was the third team event for the local non-apterite players to take part in, without the embarassment of not getting good answers playing by themselves (previous editions were in 2013 and 2011). I was host, ...

Tony Atkins

I'm in - money sent to Ben.

Tony Atkins

Std method for last nos: 50x10-100+3+1

Tony Atkins

Went for "piggiest" - that's my max game gone.

Tony Atkins

(6-1-1)x75-10-3 one of the alts in 3rd nos.

Tony Atkins

(50+100)x(4+1)-9 is an other method Rachel didn't see for 2nd nos.

Tony Atkins

If you can't find this programme online, C4 have indexed it under July 10th!

Tony Atkins

Like Jack I beat Rachel on 3rd numbers but didn't see the West Indian snake.

Tony Atkins

One beater today - available in the SUNDAE/UNSEAL round.

In R13 I happily ended round early with DOMINIES and missed the 9.

Tony Atkins

Alt 1st numbers (10+4)x(25+1)-9+7

Tony Atkins

The SLU round has knocked dear Cilla off the yahoo no 1 news story:
https://uk.screen.yahoo.com/tv-and-film ... 59499.html

Tony Atkins

Is it mandatory for newsreaders to tell the "No F in Fog" story?

And no show (apart from Catsdown) until next Monday! What can we do? Play more apterous maybe?

Tony Atkins

Bradley Cates wrote:RHENIUM in R5

Isn't there a 9 there from RHENIUM+UT?

Tony Atkins

Yes - cracking game!

Standard method for the first numbers (though sadly out of time) is ((25-1)/3) x100 +75+2

Tony Atkins

Wow well done to Liam for that studio-max/13-max game.

Only missed longer words in the ratters round and the meiosis round.

Tony Atkins

Oh and James I make this episode 19 of S73.
It's hard to check on CDB as there are two duplicates and one missing (13th July) though the Wiki agrees.

Tony Atkins

Wasn't there a beater in the BONESET+EI round?

Tony Atkins

Monday's thread didn't show a number and Tuesday was one higher than the show prior to that. According to my records I got the count correct yesterday. There was an alt 9 to TONSORIAL and a 8 beater in the SNAKIER+US round. Standard method on the 1st numbers was (4x100)-50-25+(3x6) though I did do i...

Tony Atkins

ODE3 says the singular and plural are the same at SCAMPI and wikipedia agrees, but
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/scampo says that, like Italian, SCAMPO is the singular, but
notes that the normal singular in English is SCAMPI. As we use Oxford then SCAMPI is the correct answer.

Mark Deeks wrote:People change on Apterous entirely so as to not be readily identified, and it rather undermines that when you say things like the above.

I just cut and pasted from what James said on Monday.

Tony Atkins

Judy Bursford is our 7-time champion but today's opponent is scheduled to be the Apterite Liam Moloney (or Liam [deleted], as he now is on Apterous).

Tony Atkins

A tasty beater available in the KAOLIN+IZC round, I think?

Surely you risk RATIONERS not RATIONER?

Alt 1st numbers (3x7+9+1)x25-5=770, (10x(50-10))-100-(3x7)=279 in the third
and not sure why Rachel didn't do 2x5 to make the 10 in the last.

Tony Atkins

Alt 2nd numbers (25x4-6)x(8-1)+8=666 and 4th numbers (6x3+1)x25-7-8=460.

Tony Atkins

As well as PUJARI, beaters available in R4 (the CHIME/CHEAT/THICK round), R8 (the POINTE round) and R10 (DRACONE round).

Tony Atkins

Alt 4th numbers (100-3)x(8/2)-1=387

Tony Atkins

A few beaters available in the later rounds.

No wonder Phil was nervous all the way through if he know he had to rap at the end of it.

Tony Atkins

I was shouting "go for an A" in round 8 and he got it - but sadly the contestants missed the 9.
I was so excited that I messed the next numbers up being 100 out...
