Also FOETAL as one of the other alt beaters. Saw that too, unusually for me, but would have had to hope Susie didn't ask me to spell it, even though I knew it was there! Think there was apterite in the first round. So what do you call a trick-or-treater who doesn't frighten you very much? :?: :o

I was waiting for someone to say COOLANTS in that round.
Ok, so Michelle missed the 7 in the 1st numbers, but it was also a valuable lesson in doing your adding and subtracting first before multiplying by the same number, which would have given her the other 4 she thought she needed. Shame x 2!

Alt 2nd numbers: (75+3)x(7+5)-9-8 = 919.

2nd Numbers Alt.: (((8 x 6) + 1 - 10) x 25) + 3 = 978 3rd Numbers Alt.: (75 x 10) - 25 - 3 = 722 Did those two those ways too. 1st as Rachel and 4th alt: (100 x 3) - ((6 + 5) x (10 - 8)).

Re: Spoilers For Monday June 30th 2014
R9 alt: (75 + (6 x 2 + 1)) x 3 or 4x66 Or 6 + 9 - 2 for the 13. To me it looked a bit strange having Susie sat there and us not being able to see what she was looking at. She could have been playing games or doing Rachel's shopping for all we knew. I'm not sure it would help if we had the same view...

Re: Grand Final Spoilers For Friday June 27th 2014
Was it me or did it look like Andy had to hurriedly find an alternate solution to the 524 numbers round? Nick admitted he was worried for him as he explained his method. It looked as if he forgot to say he hadn't written it down, but had Mark not declared 'not properly written down' then Andy would ...

Second numbers (also out of time): (75+8) x (8+4) +10 - 25 = 981 Same way, but withIN time! Unusual for me ;) Shame RR didn't come back with the answer. Last numbers alt: (10 + 1 x 10 + 6) x 3 = 348. Saw parotid too! Must be awake today! Looking forward to the final though I'm a day behind again ;(...

Re: Spoilers For Monday June 23rd 2014
Couple of alt numbers games, sorry a bit late in watching:
481 = ((6 x (7 + 4) + 3) x 7) - 2
236 = (50 + 9) x (7 - 3)
481 = ((6 x (7 + 4) + 3) x 7) - 2
236 = (50 + 9) x (7 - 3)

Had ignorers too. It's ok then?Tony Atkins wrote:I rubbishly went for "SOIGNIER" while the correct word is SEIGNIOR.Bradley Cates wrote:IGNORERS in R10

Re: Spoilers for Wednesday June 4th 2014 (S70 P95)
Did Pad (the challenger) find a flaw in the conundrum? Having declared INCORRECT and the solve was shown as INCORRECT (like they normally have done) would he have got the points for being correct? He did well there. I think it's been discussed on here before that someone could do that. Also I like ...
