Hurray for the final E: TENSORIAL for an even more interesting 9 (or ROTALINES if you want an even more so one).

Tony Atkins

If you don't like the standard method: (50+7)x10 -25 =545

Tony Atkins

Dave Costello can make it half way to octochampdom if he wins today.

Tony Atkins

All he needs to do now is apply the method he used on 2L to 3L...

Tony Atkins

There's a beater available in R1, and OUTLAND is one of two beaters in R5.

Tony Atkins

Dave Costello's third game - but he still does not know the standard method: (9x25)+50+3=278

Tony Atkins

No beaters today I believe, but an alt from my shows RAVELIN, one of several 7s in the UNRIVEN round.

Several standard method solves for 231; shame the contestants missed them.

Tony Atkins

Just treble checked: Jon Hinchliffe is correct.

Tony Atkins

I hope 153 is a decent score, because that's what I got against John today. How many did you get against Dave? (I assume by John you mean Jon Hinchcliffe - today's player - it's been set wrong on the Wiki) But with a couple of beaters around max was at least 157. Cracking show though - after Ann's ...

Tony Atkins

Yes well done indeed - shame that switch from 3L to 1L cost an even higher score!

Tony Atkins

Nick Ferguson seems determined to get in the record books.

MARIMBA as an alt to BARMAID. And ELEGIST one of the possible 7s to FUGLIEST.

Tony Atkins

Second nos but well out of time: ((100-9)x8)/(10-8) = 364

Tony Atkins

A few beaters about today, but not got by me sadly.

Alt last nos 3x75+7x10-7

Tony Atkins

Alt last numbers (100+3)x(50/25)+75

Tony Atkins

POTENCE alt to CONCEPT/CONVECT

Tony Atkins

Finally a std method 3L!

Also I knew she was going to say BEGAN is an alt to VEGAN as we had the same in a recent game (I read it as BE-GAN
then thinking it was a bean-eating vegan...).

Tony Atkins

alt 2nd numbers ((5x10+4)x2x3)+3

Tony Atkins

TROLLIES one of the alts for LITERALS etc in R1.

Tony Atkins

Ann back for her sixth show - will she keep on winning?

Tony Atkins

He is Ben Manuell on Facebook.

Tony Atkins

I thought Mannuel, but I was doing my ironing...

Tony Atkins

Lot's of 3L action - but not a standard method in sight! Ann needed to subtract the two ones before multiplying to make
the 213.

Tony Atkins

Did 1st numbers same as Rachel, but just spotted the Std Method solve: (10+1)x25+50+8-5

Seems she AWOKE and was AWAKE for round 1. They needed to TWEAK the letters before round 2.

Tony Atkins

Ann is back for a fourth game. Hope she had a good night's sleep!

Tony Atkins

I don't think I have seen anyone have so much fun selecting the letters as John did today!

Jon Corby wrote:That said, I saw UNPIRATED but would never have gone for it - is it an ODO noob? Surprised not to have seen it before if it isn't.

Not in ODE3.

Tony Atkins

Harder game today without all those 9s, so well done to Ann for getting over 100 again.

CAPTURE as one of the alts to GAUNTER and PUNCTAE.

Tony Atkins

For those who don't know Ann was on before in 1989 when just a teenager.
See http://wiki.apterous.org/Ann_Dibben

Tony Atkins

Alt last numbers (50+1)x(7+8)-25-4

I got all three of the 9s but didn't risk the last one (stuck at URINATED).

Tony Atkins

Great to see Ann on the show and doing so well!

Tony Atkins

James Robinson wrote:Interesting that during this particular show, a discussion about apples arose in the audience, and when it took Graeme a bit of time to wonder what the conundrum was, I just mentioned our chat and it came to him!!

Golden!

Tony Atkins

I am told there is 9 available in round 1, but otherwise I think only alts - eg DUPPIES for YUPPIES.

Tony Atkins

Well out of time for last numbers (50x100+4)/(2x(75/25))=834

Tony Atkins

The show is over and no spoiler thread? Everyone else must be at the finals!

Tony Atkins

Hmm went for DUPIONS but there is a valid anagram of that and another 7 in R1.

Alt 1st numbers ((50+5)x2+1)x8

Tony Atkins

Alt 4th numbers (and well in the time) ((25-5)x50)-(4x7)-5 - the trick was to make the 20 the other way to John.

Tony Atkins

Johnny Canuck wrote:Has the time been changed? I'm just seeing adverts, adverts, adverts right now.

If during the ads you ever get to the silent dancing figure 4, then stop and restart as you have lagged out.

Tony Atkins

Alt 3rd numbers (((75+50)/25)+4)x100+4

Tony Atkins

OBVIATES alt in R1

Alt 1st numbers (75+9)x8-(50/25)

Tony Atkins

Sean back for a 5th show.

Tony Atkins

Apterous allows both spellings.

Tony Atkins

With the talk of mediaeval stringed instruments, shame they missed LUTHIER in R4.

R10: "Not much about there...." actually an 8 and a 9.

Tony Atkins

Sean Cooke now has three wins and if he got enough sleep will be up for getting five more starting with today's show.
And Tim Vine in DC - should be a fun five shows.

I did (9x8)+25+10 (not the std method), but don't know what the players did as the streaming crashed.

Unless he is Sean D and not Sean C for some reason, then possibly not. Maybe somebody who was there knows?
Good that he has found his feet and gotting a cracking score, which was bad news for Heather though.

Tony Atkins

Nice to see Rachel earning her keep today.

Quicker 603: (100+50)x4+(75/25).

Tony Atkins

Thanks to the 15 people who came today and raised over £200 for charity.

Congrats to Tom Cappleman who got BOMBSHELL as a crucial conundrum to beat Paul Erdunast 94-85 in a close final.

Zarte Siempre wrote:(75-6-100/25/4)*10 (R6 numbers, before Rachel if she gets it)

But sadly not a standard method solve.

Alt 3rd numbers ((2+6)x25-3)x3-5

Tony Atkins

Well done on that one Conrad, definitely settled in nicely after lunch there.

At least a couple of other beaters around today.

Tony Atkins

I did manage the declared 598 as ((4x3)-1)x9x6+4.
Managed 608 (well) out of time.

Tony Atkins

A 9 available in the CASTLED+II round (my word was an alt SILICATE).

Tony Atkins

Alt 3rd numbers ((6x8)-4)x10+75

Tony Atkins

Alt 2nd numbers (100-6+1)x10+2 or (100-6)x10+10+2

Tony Atkins

PRIMROSES the alt 9

Tony Atkins

NANOBE alt in R4

Tony Atkins

If Conrad had picked a last vowel in round 1 then at least 3 nines were available with the A.

Tony Atkins

I wonder how much sleep Conrad had overnight? I suspect none (I didn't get any). The 21:00 finish followed by 09:15 start the next day is really a killer and he did well to struggle through to win, despite all the yawning and head holding. Colin Murray's 5 shows were recorded on Sunday 21st February...
