Since you can't know your opponent's declaration before they give it, you can't really second-guess what they are going to say and therefore how you are going to react. So that needs a little thought. Even if you only thought of both your words at the very end of the thirty seconds, you've had a fe...

Jon Corby

And do you go for COMBERS? After 30 seconds your thought would have been to match your opponent. It may not be a new word you've thought of since, but it's new information you've thought of that's persuaded you it's OK. What's the difference? Yes, I would say it's okay to go for COMBERS. The differ...

Jon Corby

Yes, declaring the 8 is definitely not on. I think it's okay to consider (for a moment) what to declare though. I see a difference between that and actually finding words.

Jon Corby

I just went back and watched Steven's dodgy round, and I assume he's on about Thomas taking a long time to declare after hearing Matthew's declaration of eight. I'm usually hot on stuff like that, so it's funny how it didn't register first time around with me. Is it because I wasn't previously susp...

Jon Corby

Yeah, that was a great game. Especially as it looked like it was going to be a breeze for Thomas after the first two rounds. I just went back and watched Steven's dodgy round, and I assume he's on about Thomas taking a long time to declare after hearing Matthew's declaration of eight. I'm usually ho...

In what way was it in his own backyard? The fight was in Germany. Klitschko is Ukranian.

No, he held the title for 11 years in his own backyard. It was in his shed.

What's this thing with starters? Starters are clearly awesome, has someone said they aren't? Desserts are pretty meh, on the other hand.

Jon Corby

Probably should mention that they were exceptionally lenient to James on that 675 as well (and , tbf, probably several other of his numbers games during his run). Still, I suppose to his credit he stuck just at the extra 15 seconds or so he managed to eke out during his declaration, rather than goin...

Maybe we should use this thread to come up with other ideas for Stewart's Hallowe'en-Countdown thing, whatever it is. Maybe a round where you bob for apples with letters on, and then try to make a word with them? That sort of thing. Don't worry too much about the initial "666 numbers game"...

Jon Corby

It's Hallowe'en, so some of the other numbers have come dressed as sixes.

(Edit: I realise I'm the only one who has introduced the fact that it's anything to do with Hallowe'en, but I'm running with it.)

Jon Corby

Nice one Gev, my 102 was my first time too, didn't really enjoy it tbh. My mate's badgered me into playing Nazeing with him tomorrow though, so I'll update the thread afterwards. Probably won't even finish as I've got a broken clavicle at the moment and I can't really swing properly.

Jon Corby

6 6 6 6 6 2 - 666

If this is for Hallowe'en on next year's calendar, I'm going to duck out of the thread because otherwise it'll spoil it for me when it comes to 31st Oct 2016 (and 2017, and 2018, and 2019...)

if I've multiplied some big number by 7 which I think will get nearish the target, and I find that it's actually only 11 out but I've got a 2 and 3 left, I can use these to get it spot on. I'll often not really be sure of what the intermediate answers to the sums are (did it leave me 3 above, or 3 ...

Anyhow, I've seen bits and pieces of James's games so far, and just wanted to remark that he seems very strong on the letters. He has a good chance of octochamping.

In the first numbers game I would have declared 969 not written down (having seen it fairly quickly, then spent the rest of the time failing to find 968).
