Re: Spoilers For Tuesday October 18th 2011
Very good contest between two good contestants. Must be close to a record for the most identical words/numbers solutions in one show. I got LEGATIONS but otherwise had a shocker. I even missed the first numbers game, and the numbers is usually my biggest strength! :oops: Edit: Andy, Tom actually is ...

Re: Spoilers For Monday October 17th 2011
I'm wondering if today's contestant has been on before - http://wiki.apterous.org/Anne_Haley I remember the name, just can't for the life of me remember what she looked like. It may explain why she seemed quite confident for a challenger. The wiki now has two articles on people called Anne Haley so...

Re: Spoilers For Monday October 17th 2011
Nikki had a bit of an off day but Anne played really well. It looks like she's going to be tough to beat.
Got EMULATES in one of the early rounds where DC found the nine but my performance was average today.

Same for me. ENTRANT in round 11. 1st numbers alt: (4x4+7+3)x25-10=640Andy Platt wrote:Horrid stodgy letters there and fairly easy numbers, kind of the opposite of what I enjoy. Would hate to get a game like that if I went on.
Good luck Nikki for the eight win!

Re: Spoilers For Thursday October 13th 2011
Nikki seems to alternate between strong performances and less impressive performances each day.
WAITRONS in round 1, FENDERS in round 2.
2nd numbers alt: (((75-7)x3)-1)x2+10=416
When was the last time Rachel failed to solve any of the numbers games in the 30 seconds?

Better performance from Nikki after yesterday's disappointment.

Re: Spoilers For Monday October 10th 2011
I FINALLY beat Rachel on a numbers game: ((1+1)x100+10)x4-6=834
TAUNTER in round 7, LOUDEST in round 8. 2nd numbers alt: (100-1)x6-(10x2)=574
Not a great show today, some obvious words missed by both players.

Re: Spoilers For Friday October 7th 2011
Not as good as yesterday from Nikki imo although she would have beaten be today. SOULMATE coming up twice in three rounds was bizarre, although it took me until the last second to spot it the second time.
Also, how on earth did the challenger get the first numbers game wrong?

Re: Spoilers For Wednesday October 5th 2011
Not a classic today as I would have beaten both quite easily. I'm sure a decent contestant will come along soon though.
TAILORS in round 4, GRENADES in round 6 (though DC came up with a 9 in both rounds), DIURNAL in round 7 and PETITION in round 13.

Re: Spoilers For Tuesday October 4th 2011
Congrats Jayne on octochampdom, very well deserved in my opinion. A female octochamp has been long overdue so I'm glad she did it.
My performance was average today. Got GENRAL in round 6, SONATAS in round 7, as well as the conundrum, but somehow missed CABINETS having found CABINS.

Re: Spoilers For Friday September 30th 2011
Got CHAMOIS in round 11 and LOCALS in round 7 but otherwise I had a poor day, not helped by the poor letters selections.
Both contestants did well today with what was available imo. The numbers games were a bit easy though.

Re: Spoilers For Thursday September 29th 2011
Good contest today, with the letters selections a lot better than yesterday.
LANDTIES in round 6, RELOADED in round 7. Also, is TONNAGES allowable? DC only mentioned TONNAGE today but I'm sure I've seen it allowed before.
3rd numbers alt: (75-3)x5-10=350

Re: Spoilers For Wednesday September 28th 2011
I agree with Tony, not a classic today by any means as the letters selections were poor, although I somehow managed to find three eights.
3rd numbers alt: 9x3+10+75+50=162, surprised Rachel didn't see an easier way.

Re: Spoilers For Tuesday September 27th 2011
Good close contest today with both players spotting some good words, especially POMANDER and COURANTE. Jayne had me beaten with those and I think on this form she's got a decent chance of making the finals. It's great to see a female contestant having a good run for a change.

Good performance from Jayne again, and a great spot for RAINSWEPT. Still annoyed with myself for missing it though.
