I agree entirely Kirk- Conor is on another level when it comes to the game, but frankly, so is Chris, and he has been since he first appeared- wuld you believe it- 6 years ago. let's not forget his record against Conor at CO-events.

Slightly more elegant R5 solution than Carol's- (100-2)*8-25.

Piece of piss to work out, surely- 225= 15^2= 3^2 * 5^2, therefore the number has to be divisible by 9 and by 25. The first criterion means its digits must sum to a multiple of 9, and as we're using only 1s and 0s, it must therefore contain 9 1s. It must also be divisble by 25, meaning it must be a ...

Aye, the polls were pretty good if I recall correctly. Anyways I was thinking more just a general discussion/slanging match at first.

No worries. <Hand of mod> Thread locked. </the hand>

Also the above post was written by the greatest untrophied player in the history of Countdown. With the possible exception of Allan saldanha. Ah sod it, there's only one answer. Gevin mate, can you please start a 'Greatest Countdowner ever' thread in the general forum/ I promise not to delete or lo...

Many thanks to you all for the kind words. :-) COLIN 2009 will absolutely be going ahead- and as it's the fifth COLIN, I might do something a little special for it. Not sure what though- it'd be hard to top Stewart Holden's generous gift of a free calendar for every participant! :) I might also come...

Many thanks to all those who came for helping to make COLIN 2008 a huge success once again. :) Full results will be up on the website in short order, but a quick summary- 1st Conor Travers 5 wins 386 points 2nd Jon O'Neill 5 wins 375 points 3rd Chris Wills 5 wins 362 points 4th Mark Tournoff 4 wins ...

Please say that on msn so I can put it on the quotes page.

Nicely done, btw!

To be fair I've seen a lot of start-up forums with something like 30 sub-forums that all die very quickly. IMO 5 is an ideal number- while I'd personally have had just one subforum for recaps, I see no issue with the way it's set up now. CO-Events don't really need more than 1 thread each- and photo...

Getting in here early- the fourth annual COLIN is just days away and I do have spaces left for anyone who wants them. Pit your wits against some of the best to have ever appeared on the screen, including no less than five series champions, compete for fun spot prizes, and watch exhibition play- with...

#1 looks about 90% certain to be Futurama. My other two are Lincoln Cathedral and Van Halen (I'm nothing if not eclectic in my tastes). My back-up subject is Red Dwarf.

Where's Philpot when you need him, eh?

By happy coincidence I had an audition for Mastermind this Thursday just gone in Brummieland. Didn't do too badly but it remains to be seen if I'll male the cut...

I am Ben Wilson, the Nebagram, Countdown champ in 2001, Countdown internet addict since 2002 and organiser of COLIN since 2005. Speaking of, there's still places if you're interested.

George, in as much as he was possibly the most underrated musician of the 20th century.

Gotta say I can't find room for mushrooms in my breakfast. I don't mind tomatoes that much though.

Big question is- fried, poached or scrambled?
