Surprise in round 9 there, had that in like 2 seconds. (100 - 2) x 8 - 50 + 75 / 25

Andy Platt

MITOGENS round 1

Andy Platt

^ Nice, didn't see that, the sixth consonant threw me off.

Andy Platt

Erm, PAVIORS in round 10 to beat

Andy Platt

And the same in round 9 is ((100 + 10) x 75 - 50) / 25 + 9

Andy Platt

Ostentatious 4 large alternative in R3: ((75 - 3) x 50 - 100) / 25 = 140.

Andy Platt

Alright kids. 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown recap for Friday 28th February 2014 Team 1: - Sean Lock, whose face will be familiar to the RSPCA complaints division. - James Corden, who is a rubbish actor who has never won a Bafta. Team 2: - Jon Richardson, who phones his mum every day. He's brought ...

Andy Platt

I kind of like it to be honest. Just realise that CJ's always gonna be a wanker and I can overlook that bit. Slightly harder questions and played at a faster pace than most quiz shows.

Andy Platt

Haha, nice.

Andy Platt

I wonder if we'll get the results soon

Andy Platt

Terrible intro to start by Nick, managed to be a dickhead to both competitors there.

Andy Platt

She seems to enjoy showing off by telling us there are a few ways but on rare occasions like today she gives something strangely inefficient or inelegant.

Nothing wrong with (50 + 2) x 6 + 9 for the 321.

Andy Platt

Cool, might be available next series or whenever they roll it out. Will look out for it.

Andy Platt

If Andy loses tomorrow, there's going to be some seriously interesting ramifications come the end of the series, with four people on 6 wins.

I'm pretty confident he won't though.

Andy Platt

Yeah 4 large doesn't count. Haha, I obviously meant 4 different, thanks for pointing that out so graciously and with so little attention.

Andy Platt

Looks like there's only SPOLIATION and SPOLIATOR in the ODE3 - I presume SPOLIATE is CSW valid, looks like it could be bloody useful in Scrabble.

Andy Platt

A little birdie told me this game featured all 4 numbers selections: http://wiki.apterous.org/Episode_5740

Didn't scroll through all the games by myself or anything. Nope.

Andy Platt

Yeah - I wonder how many games have featured four different numbers selections. Might have a look at the wiki but there's like a years worth of games to scroll through...

Andy Platt

(75+25-2)*3 - 50/10 in R14

Andy Platt

Yep, that was a great standard method

Andy Platt

Should have picked a 6th consonant in round 5

Andy Platt

That numbers was brutal. I had 8 away, but apparently 969 is possible, similar method to Bradley's

Andy Platt

Haha true.

What I meant to say is that it's possible, but not definite, and I could find examples for a lot of particular contestants. I just meant I didn't want to wildly accuse one person more than any other and that was one particular example.

Particular.

Andy Platt

Probably don't want to leave that sort of comment on a public message board, at least not attached to a particular person ^ But to be honest I agree, it's something that's at least possible. Not wildly accusing anyone in particular, but as a general example I don't think certain performances can be ...

Andy Platt

Always maintained that numbers are really hard when you're on TV. For contestants who aren't particularly good at maths or arithmetic naturally, and haven't done much practice before going on, and haven't been on TV before, then it can only get worse. That said, there have been some shockers recentl...

Andy Platt

INVOLUTE R13

Andy Platt

HETAIRA round 10

Andy Platt

DETORSION round .. 7?

Andy Platt

I'll do next week

Andy Platt

While the recap writer is down maybe Callum should have it

Andy Platt

Coolio

Andy Platt

Anyone got dibs on the recap?

Andy Platt

ANNOYERS in round 11

oh I knew that was coming ^^^

Andy Platt

Did not think there'd be a 9 there, well done.

Andy Platt

C2 saying "nowhere near" to 100 75 50 25 8 10 @401, is bloody hilarious.

Andy Platt

Unlucky there Brett, Andy was that rare animal of apterous standard without the practice. He looks pretty good for 8 wins if he can improve in numbers.

Andy Platt

ALONGSIDE round 13

Oh screw you Callum

Andy Platt

Was DISPROVEN the intended declaration in R11? It's invalid apparently, but cracking effort and necessary when losing.

Andy Platt

(100 x 75 - 50) x 3 / 25 as a cheeky solve in round 9 going over 20k

Andy Platt

From the desk of George Pryn: 75 x 5 + (100 + 50/25)/3 = 409

Andy Platt

Cool, welcome, your standard does seem pretty similar to most contestants at the moment so it'll be interesting to see how you get on. If you're serious about winning just come over to apterous.org.The dictionary used is like 99.9% accurate so you'll learn a few classics that you might not already k...

Andy Platt

Always kind of thought she just goes with what she thinks looks best if she has done it in 2 or 3 ways

Andy Platt

Another solid one there Brett, lots of tricky rounds there. Looking forward to see how far you go.

Andy Platt

Weird that I saw FLOUNCE but also thought it was 6.

Andy Platt

Yeah, that's the way I expected Rachel to show us, as she seems to like being needlessly ostentatious with numbers solves these days. Not that I'm criticising of course, that would be massively hypocritical

Andy Platt

PISHOGUE round 7

Andy Platt

Erm, STATION in round 2.

Andy Platt

ERGATIVE as an alternative for the CREATIVE round

Andy Platt

Rhyming with whack-a-mole

Andy Platt

Very comfortable there Brett, not just in margin of victory, but also in demeanour, been on TV before?

Never heard guacamole pronounced that way before, maybe I've only heard the US version or something.

Andy Platt

MODALIST in round 12

ZARTE

Andy Platt

Nice contest there. Thought C2 had done it when he went 13 ahead, but then he couldn't see how to make the 9 (must have been bloody tricky under pressure), but then got the crucial conundrum anyway. The fact neither of them saw a conundrum that's about as straightforward as it gets for a good 20 sec...

Andy Platt

(6 + 5 + 3) x 4 x 9 in round 6 if you want to avoid using the 100.

Andy Platt

Vowel was the more likely 9 pick in round 4 - could have been NOSTALGIA/LEGATIONS/ISOLATING

Andy Platt

STURDIER in round 1

Andy Platt

Credit where it's due, R13 was a class 6th consonant as it nearly gave TRIUMPHED or IMPRUDENT for 9.

Andy Platt

R3 I had ((5 - 1) x 9 + 75) x 8 but Rachel's way was more efficient. Graham still seems to be struggling a bit with his numbers under studio pressure and nerves!

Andy Platt

BOUTADE R1

Andy Platt

Nope then. Good comeback from C1, decent contest to watch with how close it was.
