Yeah I have no idea who the hell would share the draws and tell you to go out telling everyone. No real reason if the show's gonna reveal it themselves. Plus, I took advantage of the private disclosing and I wanted to hear solely the people that were participating. Leaving the draw as a surprise sti...

Andres Sanchez

Big thank you, Jack. Also I'm very much enjoying the new challenges; not gonna spoil anything to anyone who hasn't seen them but definitely take a looksie.

Andres Sanchez

Really wish I coulda met the guy, looks like he always had a good time when I saw him on Zoomdown. Thoughts and prayers to him and his close friends and family.

IV for CoC!
We could even dedicate the whole thing to him. CoC IV!

More like CoC IV × IV

Andres Sanchez

Had a dream that a bald Philip Aston played against some hirsute guy name Rob and won with 182 points with four nines. Have absolutely no idea how any of these ideas jumbled together.

R9 Omelette solve that I feel like deserves some credit:

25 + 10 - 9 = 26
26 × 7 = 182
182 + 5 =187
187 × 4 = 748

R14 Omelette solve also here:
100 - 8 + 7 = 99
99 × 6 = 594
594 + 75 - 50 = 619

Andres Sanchez

I honestly don't give much of a shit on who's going up against who. I have ideas of who they might involve, like the three 1k club members, but in the end it's gonna be a hell of a CoC regardless of who's gonna be drawn.

Andres Sanchez

Looking forward to a Cappleman-Lynes showdown! After discussing the ethics of offering a back-hander to set up a first-round match between the two of us, we've decided on an alternative course of action - neither of us is allowed to lose until we meet :lol: You two played so well on Team Countdown,...

Andres Sanchez

As an American, I have absolutely zero idea of the "propaganda" in the UK in relation to the Queen. All I know is that she's lived a really fucking long life and I hope whoever is next in the line holds the same if not better leadership than the Queen has.

Andres Sanchez

Also when Colin asked Joseph what he got last time he was on (29) and said 30 would be a victory for him, I think he trumped anything Anne did. I'm out. He's all enthusiastic and everything, which is great, but he has zero tact. I'm just watching this now to recap, and personally I don't really see...

Andres Sanchez

To be honest I don't know what other formats there are other than the groups of threes cycling around and Bristol style. I've only been to one and I thoroughly enjoyed the former that it did.

I have a few in mind.

Fastest conundrum solve?
Person who's declared the most nines?
How many nines have been declared on the app overall?
Who's won the most Daily Challenges?

Granny smiths are better in baking than they are in actual consumption. I will stand by this thought.

Andres Sanchez

What's the most amount of Apterites involved in an octorun? Think Mark's the third or fourth Apterite involved in a run like this and I feel like we may have more soon.

RIGOLET in Round 1
MAUDLING in Round 11

I more so get sleep deprived some of the time and my Countdowning maybe seems to vary wildly; I got a 13-max game against someone late at night, but at the same time I've gotten worse after. Just depends on what I'm feeling, really.

Andres Sanchez

Dearest Graeme, Assuming the subject has not been broached prior to now, I wonder could you furnish us with details of returning contestants, and what the shortest (and perhaps longest, while we're at it) gaps between appearances have been? Thank you. Think his could help with some of it, thank Ste...

OHMYGOD WE'RE ALMOST DONE WITH SERIES 84!!!! Hey guys! The work/college life is starting to consume me slowly, but that doesn't mean I'm gonna stop these recaps here.

No worries, mate! Now it may help if I knew where the other previous events are in this forum so I could patch up those.

Andres Sanchez

Hey I'm deciding to do the recap of the final for the wiki page, and I'm getting the points tallied up to be Bradley winning 87-81. Can someone check over to make sure I'm not going insane?

Andres Sanchez

Stat Time! Over his journey, Quinn has gotten: 8 nines (DRAGONETS, PLANETOID, SPEARMINT, BRIMSTONE, UNROASTED, ROUMANITE, MODERATES, MULIERAST) 5 conundrum solves MEZZANINE (1.5s) PROMOTION (2.25s) UNBRANDED (2.25s) CONFUSING (1.5s) CERTAINTY (6.25s) 6 centuries, with a high of 124 and a low of 86 5...

Andres Sanchez

Alright, I might as well make another one of these. Quinn's won six games with a total of 656 points, averaging about 109 points per game . At this rate, he'll definitely reach the #2 seed unless we somehow get a game where he wins by 31 which is HIGHLY unlikely. I think he will be well sat in the 8...

Andres Sanchez

Sounds good, maybe after the semis we can all coordinate on what games to recap? Just tossing the idea out there

Andres Sanchez

There are only two finals games left, I plan to do Ahmed vs. Jeremy and I think Christy'll do Stu vs. Florence. We're gonna need a big catch up for S85 though. Lots of episodes to go through and thankfully there's a good little portion done already thanks to the patent-pending Mills & Matt Buddy...

I'm fine with both, in fact I really appreciate the 9-letter teasers for the same reason people enjoy 8-letter ones. They're good words that can pop up and 9 letter ones can really help aid you if you spot some shit like ANALGESIC; boom, 18 points up.

Mark Deeks wrote: ↑Thu Jul 28, 2022 10:57 am What is the point of:

a) armpit hair?
b) pubes?

I'd say sweat collection, but after Googling it says that the hair prevents skin-to-skin contact and reduces friction when doing certain things like running, any exercise, or just plain doing it.

Andres Sanchez

I've been having this question in my head and thinking about where to post it, and I think here might be a good spot. I've been using WebRack a lot to host weekly games in my Discord and it's been great fun. Recently though I've been introducing some of the variants that Apterous has through WebRack...

Now let's dig into some statistics! Over his journey, Ed has gotten: 5 nines (ADULATION, MARKETISE, LAUNDRIES, NOTARISED, FRONTSIDE) 7 conundrum solves WHISKERED (0.75s) TITILLATE (1.25s) STUFFIEST (1.25s) RESURRECT (1.5s) HANDBRAKE (2s) LOATHSOME (5.5s) OVERLYING (20.25s) 8 centuries, with a high o...

I knew that this man would stare into the camera for the two easy numbers solutions. Boy was I right, my buddy and I was laughing our asses off at the timing of it.

But regardless, congrats to Ed! Very deservedly needed octorun for a spectacular player.

Andres Sanchez

Felt like wanting to say because I only found out yesterday that Spotify has officially acquired Heardle. As an American hopefully this'll mean I'll get to use my VPN less since there have been a few times when the song wouldn't be available in my country.

Andres Sanchez

You are running a co event, and observe the following Host reveals crucial conundrum: HRRAAEIOD C1 "Diarrhoea" (pronounced correctly) C2 "Spell it" C1 "D I A H R R O E A" H "I'm afraid that's not the right spelling" C2 "Diarrhoea D I A R R H O E A" ...

I still play the MAIN version and Heardle, but honestly I don't pay much attention to every other variant out there

I very much enjoy OK Computer and In Rainbows, but to me Hail To The Thief I feel also goes right up there. Lemme put my current fav songs from each. OK Computer - Honestly all of the tracks from OK Computer are great, the ones I'm not particularly fond of compared to others though are Climbing Up T...

Andres Sanchez

Alright, I might as well given we're about the halfway mark. So far, Ed's racked up 5 wins with 599 points, an average of 119.8 a game . If he keeps this up he'll be inching at 958, the same octotal as James Haughton, and will be the 28th member of the 900 club. He's also been managing a pretty good...

Very solid play from Ed, can't wait to see him continue!

Andres Sanchez

Alright then, I do feel like we should make a group chat though with the other recappers to coordinate this stuff though if I'm being all honest.

Didn't see this and posted the recap myself. NIGHTYPAL was the scramble and I think it was 2.25 seconds? I looked at the video on Facebook that Chloe posted, thankfully. Didn't know you made one, sorry mate.

Now I'm curious on what the least likely seven would be that's been spotted in a televised round.

That has to be the absolute closest two player's runs have been.

Fucking amazing that game was, loved every bit of it. Big congrats to Dan and the biggest commiserations to Matt. Probably the best final I've seen.

This thread reminds me of the most recent job I had. I worked at a place called Texas Roadhouse for about 6 months; in comparison to the other job I worked at, this was the longest I've worked at.

As someone who's been on the internet for a while, I will say that's like a fourth of the way down in the cesspool of trolls.
