You can see my lovely lovely girlfriend Robyn behind the guy answering the conundrum when the camera is close up.

Chris Davies

TRAITEURS - I honestly can't rememeber whether or not I spotted this in the studio.

Chris Davies

Today's challenger is the brother of Series 60 finalist Hamish Williamson.

Chris Davies

A new record the the lowest max in a 15 rounder, 99 points.

Chris Davies

CYSTEINE, round 1.
TERRANES, round 3.

Chris Davies

ORDINAND in the round where the challenger got ANDROID.

I also had APPOSITE, NOUMENA and SEROTINE - lots of beaters today.

Chris Davies

Thanks very much :) The whole experience was absoutely awesome, but the SLEEPSUIT moment for me was just unreal. After getting back within 10 points of Innis, I was thrilled to still be in with a chance of victory, but I knew the conundrum would most likely be very hard, and I honestly didn't expect...

Chris Davies

AGITPROP, round 8.
PROBITS, round 11.

Chris Davies

First numbers, also 75 * (9-(9-1)/4)-3

Chris Davies

I was nowhere near getting the conundrum, and yet:

Chris Davies

((8+3)*7+25)*9+1 for second numbers.
Oh, Rachel got it. Thought she might.

Chris Davies

NOUMENAL, round 9.

Chris Davies

RUDERAL, round 3.

Chris Davies

http://www.apterous.org/viewgame.php?game=134666

An exceptionally hard Bullet Conundrum Attack - and agonisingly the only one I missed was relatively easy.

Chris Davies

BAHADUR, round 8.

Chris Davies

INHAULS, before first break (can't remember which round).
INTEGRAND, round 6.
DICENTRA, round 12.

Chris Davies

PLONGEUR, round 4.

Chris Davies

Although it was a week ago:

Chris Davies

CILIATE, round 6.

Chris Davies

(75*25+3)/(100/50)+7 for one away on the first numbers, I think Rachel probably did the same.

Got GOPURAM in round 8.

Chris Davies

My first max 15 rounder in three months

Chris Davies

ORGANONS, round 4.

This wasn't the greatest numbers attack game ever but it was very enjoyable to play against one of the greats of the game (Chris Davies). I played 6 small all the way and managed to lead after 19 of the 20 rounds (OK, so he misclicked twice) and I then changed tack for the last game (1 large) and w...

Chris Davies

REDBONES, round 8.

Chris Davies

FOOTSURE, round 13.

Chris Davies

Perfect Goatblitz!

What a wasted opportunity!

Annoying accent, maybe, but everything else you said went right over my head. What do you mean?

Chris Davies

FUSARIA and UAKARIS in round 8.

GODETIAS was a beater in Rd 4 I think.

It was - I was surprised when DC missed it.

Congratulations Jeffrey! Look forward to meeting you at the finals.

Chris Davies

BHUNAS, round 2.
ALCAHEST, round 6.

HIMATION, round 3, and ARANEIDS, round 4.

TERRANE, can't remember which round though - sometime in the second half.

and MISROUTED in round 11.

UNREADY, round 13.

Chris Davies

CANTEEN, round 13.

BLOVIATE, round 7.

Chris Davies

I've literally only just got on to this. I probably shouldn't let it get to me - nobody is liked by everybody after all.

Chris Davies

Well done on becoming an Octochamp, Chris. 8-) Really looking forward to seeing the quarters with the big three. Hopefully some more top guns to follow. :D Isn't this you? :?: :shock: Well, I feel I've been judged very harshly there. :( I felt really self-conscious throughout my Countdown run - I k...

Chris Davies

On for a nice pair of nines which Chris should get... And he pronounced it incorrectly. He pronounced it SCLEROTIAE and then even said "with an E on the end". Surely this shouldn't count. And, rather than Susie asking him to spell it, she spelt it aloud for Rachel spelling it SCLEROTI. Pe...

Chris Davies

Thanks everyone

Chris Davies

My dad went to the same school (St. Anselm's) as Paul O'Grady. I'm actually quite a fan of his and would love to meet him.

Cheers Kirk

Chris Davies

GAH! I was really hoping for "unairable" to be in. As in "Susie's comment at the start was almost unairable" No luck though :( Chris has been unlucky with so few 9s available so far (maybe 0? I've not checked) PREMORBID was available in Friday's game, but I'd never heard of it a...

Chris Davies

I solved this easily at home

God I'm rubbish under pressure.

Chris Davies

My mum got the second numbers game in the audience. I honestly thought I had it.

Chris Davies

oops

Chris Davies

I had two takes when I solved the cube. The first time, I realised halfway through the solve that I was going to take too long and asked for another shot (which got a big laugh from everyone). My average solve time with that particular cube was almost exactly 20 seconds.

Chris Davies

Ben Hunter wrote:Chris, did you know the word PREMORBID before this show?

Nope.

Chris Davies

Thanks everyone for the comments :) I was so nervous, you could see it all over my face and it was sort of agonising for me to watch! Ed was clearly gutted about losing, but he was nothing but nice to me. Seriously, it was terrifying. I was glad when it was over, but at the same time I couldn't wait...

Chris Davies

I got VIHUELA in round 9 while in the audience.

Chris Davies

SEIGNIOR as a nice equaller in round 11. Argh, I missed TERAPHIM yet again, ffs. Davies, how did you do in the green room? Were you annoyed to potentially play this scrabbler or was it reassuring to know he kept offering phoneys and isn't that great on the numbers? I was a little worried about pote...

AGOGOS in r2 - got this in the green room.

I can juggle 5 balls and solve a Rubik's cube in under 25 seconds. Doing either always elicits a response at parties. Also, when I first told my friends about going on Countdown (while in Wetherspoon's) some of them starting giving me anagrams to solve. One of them keyed 'RTBOHIKSKAAIDEAPI' or somet...

Eoin Monaghan wrote:Finally, after trying to max a 9 rounder, I end up with a max 15 rounder. It wasn't the hardest max game to get compared to the likes of Chris Davies', Innis' and Junaid's, but I am so happy.

That's a really good max game, actually, nice job!

Chris Davies

That's what happens when you feed the trolls. Bingo. All this guy wanted to do was to provoke angry reactions from many people. This is what gives internet trolls their reason to, well, troll. Unfortunately, he achieved exactly that just by throwing pitiful insults and lame threats around. If he ha...

It's important to learn the 75 times table, up to 75x13 = 975.
