Excellent game again Toby - certainly producing the good words!

6 games...6 centuries!

I did get 943 in r14 (just) in time: ((8+6)*8-10)*9+25.

Elliott Mellor

Wished I'd picked a final vowel in R11 for OUTLINEAR, etc, but didn't notice that at the time. Was actually fishing for a D for ROUNDTAIL. Also, DC got SARCOID in R13 but they must have cut it out for some reason. I was wondering why you didn't fish for it too - and it would have been there. Still,...

Elliott Mellor

Excellent stuff again from the teaser monster. Been operating at 89.6% of the max so far, and 30 maximums from 45 - so very impressive work

Elliott Mellor

Brilliant game today, really excellent by both - 11 maxes by Toby too if I counted right. PARTOOK in particular was excellent, didn't see that one :) Best game of the series so far I think. Cheers Ell! PARTOOK was a lucky last second spot. :P They all count, last second or not ;) Looking forward to...

Thanks. Nick should be explaining these though. In case you can't figure them out? Basically. It's not like there's a second teatime teaser where you have to figure out the meaning. It's supposed to all become clear when it's revealed. I suppose it wouldn't be too hard to mention the meaning, but t...

Had a dream last night that I attended co:Manchester, which for some reason was being held outside the gate of the back of my house (the place is absolutely overrun with those tall plants that are those plants that explode seeds when you touch their pods in this dream).

Had one 2 nights ago where I was participating in the crystal maze. My team definitely included Bradley Horrocks and Tim Down. Richard O'Brien may have been hosting it. We'd arrived at out last zone and at this point had won 5 crystals, which was attributed to us doing exceptionally well in the firs...

Dreamt the night before last that me and a team of people (possibly including some apterites) had been selected to play some sort of American professional sport thing. I started practising this and I can only describe it as some sort of cross between hockey, golf and words (it seems the main part of...

The real problem is that there is so much debate over 2 marks in total...in an exam I'd just circle 0.38, 76 and be done with it. The only reason people are seeing problems is the context, had it been something completely different there'd be no question it was 76.

Elliott Mellor

For my answer I'll copy and paste what I put on Facebook*: blah blah blah blah So the answer is not 76. It is less than 76. Using the assumptions above, the answer must be greater than 40 and less than 76. You can't put an exact figure on it without more information about the likely bias of the spi...

Elliott Mellor

I'm fully with Noel on this matter, there's no reason to say any answer other than 76 really based on the data. Obviously it's possible this just happened by chance and it is a fair spinner, just as you could toss a fair coin 5 times and it could land on it's edge each time. With nothing else to go ...

Elliott Mellor

There's no reason to assume that every number is equally likely, so really the answer you'd probably get the mark for is A unless it's one of those annoying questions that tricks you into thinking the graph is in any way relevant.

Had a very brief one the other night where I was conversing with an apterite (may have been Spike? Not fully sure), when they mentioned they had seen a 9 that I'd "really like" which turned out to be KETONURIA scrambled up. I'm hoping they meant I'd like the 5vowel-ness of it, not that I a...
