To contribute a few more recaps before they all disappear into the ether [read: James Robinson's keyboard] I shall continue my work on series 10. There are still three left between the start and Harvey Freeman's first game so I'll take those.

Joseph Krol

WENCHES was there somewhere

Joseph Krol

I can't believe you're even considering Soph doing a recap. (Especially as I would end up doing it.)

Joseph Krol

James Bradley put the following great anagram on Facebook yesterday:
OSAMA BIN LADEN = LOB DA MAN IN SEA

Joseph Krol

I beat Thomas 2-0, details on the tourney page.

Joseph Krol

Is it sjambok? I think it's a spear of some kind.

Joseph Krol

Then the top seed ( :oops: ) will get a bye and 2nd will play 11th, 3rd will play 10th etc. The 6 remaining will then play 1st vs 6th, 2nd vs 5th and 3rd vs 4th. The final will be a round robin; if no-one wins both games, the winner will be decided on points. So basically (because the 2nd seed will...

lol course but what is blind???

The letters disappear as they are picked so you have to memorize them.

Sorry to change the topic but apparently Osama Bin Laden has been assassinated. Discuss.

I'll just do what Ryan says (which I think is to replay).

You now know.

101-81 Ryan vs. me

Joseph Krol

When I was playing the duel today my connection was lost a couple of times. However, when I reconnected, it said that I had blanked the rounds even though I had not seen the full selection, instead of just resetting to the start of the roud like normal. This may be a duel only thing, I don't know, b...

OK may as well join

Some of you are familiar from elsewhere. I am yet to participate in anything on-topic, but am interested in game shows, including the eponymous one, puzzles and games. Like most of you, I guess.

Hello Chris, I'm sure you'll fit in - most of us are game show addicts too.

Amazing news... we can now participate... I think... (thinking about it, apterous hasn't existed for 18 years so the bots are theoretically eligible to play).

Joseph Krol

BUMP.

Just realised that if we can organise and categorize known locations and occupations then we can create some interesting statistics. Anyone interested?

Countdown recap for Tuesday 26 April 2011. Welcome to today’s Countdown recap, brought to you by Joseph Krol. As the royal wedding draws nearer, I remain in a state of complete unbotheredness. Anyway let’s get on with the show. C1: Champion Adrian Turner (1 win, 73 points.) An accountant from London...

but isnt that just totally unfair?

Tbh it is a bit inconvenient for us not to play the duel in fairness.

Joseph Krol

No. Perhaps Charlie could temporarily bring the tourney owl back in, or failing that you could use a randomizer to work out where we could go. Or I could just accept that I'll have to pull out.

Joseph Krol

I'm on holiday Friday - Monday. Will have to pull out.

Has anyone got any confirmation on the reported Scrabble rule change of proper nouns being allowed? If it happens I can't imagine what all the competitive scrabblers would do/say/blow up in protest. It's just a variant that was released last year, not for use in proper tournaments. Otherwise everyo...

I have, what is your idea for numbers and conundrums?

Joseph Krol

MINERALS in the PRALINES round.

Joseph Krol

Sorry, would love to take part but don't think that I'll be able to arrange so many matches, plus there's a lot of times I'm unable to play.

Joseph Krol

I beat martyn Simpson 111-101 in a crucial conundrum. (Not bragging or owt but I'm doing a bit of giant killing in this tourney)

Joseph Krol

Don't know if it was mentioned but I think Graham is 5th seed now.

Joseph Krol

R12 OUTWENT (I don't think anyone said it)

Joseph Krol

BONESETS R11, could have had BOTANISES had a final I been picked.

Joseph Krol

A few thoughts DROWSIER in the ROWDIES round, only saw it after the time. I used to do 4 large when I was on the show, but I don't practise at all now. One tip is to avoid doing 100+25 for 125 and you can't get anything out of 75 and 50, so do 75+50+7-100/25 = 128 (much easier). Knowing that 75/50 ...

I didn't get an almanac for this round: http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?ga ... 0#r6184710. The country in question is Cuba.

In. Nice idea.

Only a quartz, and I think it's about fluorite-ish as it's easily spotted.

Is the word you seek either NOSESTUMP or STUMPNOSE? I think it's one of those but can't remember.

Gonna do some Series 17, I'll take the first 20, though Mike's done two of them, so I'll do it up to Thu 9-Feb-89. P.S.

Joseph Krol

The final has been decided - Harry Newton vs. Hugh Binnie. I wonder who will win.

Joseph Krol

As the selections are same do we need to do recaps for all our individual ones?

Joseph Krol

Jack only had four wins - he lost against Matt Bayfield in the heats.

Joseph Krol

My pictures are available here, still uploading them.

Joseph Krol

I think that there is an Italian version called Paroliamo.

Joseph Krol

If it is done it should not be left to public voting and should be conducted in a controlled environment.

Joseph Krol

Sounds interesting, I'll register.

Joseph Krol

Just got first full pencil frontal. Don't know how to upload the pic though. Does facebook work as a photo thingy?

Joseph Krol

17 because it goes +1+2+4+8 and then repeats.
