Re: Add up the numbers...
If you use a probably conservative estimate of the 6 selected numbers adding up to over 100 half the time, it means (as there are 899 possible targets), there's a one in 1798 (we'll call it 1800) chance it will happen in a round. Therefore, I would expect this to happen on average at an approximate ...

For each of the seven games in the Series 77 finals, you give an answer of “higher” or “lower” in terms of the winning margin quoted – if you get your prediction right, you score 1 point per point you are right by, if you get it wrong, you score zero points.

Re: Series 76 Finals - predictions (may contain spoilers)
By the way, I think Elliott's conundrums are slightly overrated. He may have got them all but not in the impressive speeds of a really top player. I think they were mostly fairly gettable anyway. Good point - they may well try to "test" his 100% record with a horrible obscure compound wor...

Re: Series 76 Finals - predictions (may contain spoilers)
I'm not sure if I agree with there not being much between 2-7, I'd say they are all players with different strengths. I didn't see Lawrie's games so I can't comment on them, so I'll only do 2-6. Jeff and Wes are probably the strongest numbers players in the pool. Jeff showing he was strong on a var...

Series 76 Finals - predictions (may contain spoilers)
Stephen Read looks a massive favourite, but I don't think there is too much between seeds 2 and 7 - could lead to some interesting games! My predictions............ QFs Stephen Read (1) v James Slater (8) - Stephen to win by 60-70 points Jeff Clayton (2) v Lawrie Collingwood (7) - Jeff to be pushed,...

Re: Spoilers for Thursday 20th April 2017
Was a cracking game - nail-biting stuff! Berkan did very well in his run and was unlucky to be halted at this stage of his run, and Nick looks like he has the potential to do well. Hopefully someone had a word with him and he speeds up his selections for subsequent game(s) though!!!

Re: Apterites who have yet to appear on Countdown
That's interesting. She seems like one of the ones I wouldn't mind. Why did she do your head in out of interest? I won't be on the show for another 2 years or so maybe. Don't get me wrong she wasn't malicious or nasty or anything, and she was very friendly, but pretty much between every round of ev...
