Those letters were really tricky today- probably the nastiest set I have ever seen on the show, and the numbers were not easy, either. Score to prove it, too

Tom S

What a shocker that last letters round was!

Tom S

I need specific. Where people are sending me ranges I'm taking the middle value. (If anyone who gave a range reads this, I will allow them to pick a number within their range to be more specific, but otherwise, middle value) People have actually done that? What kind of lunatic would send you a rang...

Tom S

Also an alt R14 solution. (100-5) × (5+4) - 3

Tom S

Despite getting his lowest score today, Tony had the most maxes in his run so far. Felt for his opponent as he is probably one of those decent home players, but studio pressure got to him today.

Tom S

Hi Zarte,
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but do I have to state a specific number for the margin, e.g. X beats Y by 9 pts, or can I give a region, e.g. X beats Y by between 5-10 pts?
Thanks.

Tom S

Tony is a consistently good player- after watching his past few games, think we will be seeing a back to back run of octochamps.

Tom S

This is a high quality game so far- Locoman was a fab spot, never heard of it myself!

Tom S

Great solve by Tony for the numbers. Stumped me completely.

Tom S

Also had Primmed in Round 1, did doubt it a bit, but was a tad surprised that it was not raised by DC considering Primed was spotted (by one of the players I think).

He won 2 shows in 1999, too. Seems a decent player.

Tom S

The regular Nick statement "2 good players" did resonate today , and felt for Paul as he would have probably seen off Adam off. Tony seemed like a good all rounder- maybe he will octo and we will see the series standard increase... Luck of the draw though!

Impressed by Tony's Dwarfing spot, but Paul seems capable too from these 1st 3 rounds. Mentula/Almuten to equalise in r2.

Tom S

Finally an octochamp! But unfortunately he's got the lowest octochamp score of the new 15 round format. Why is it unfortunate, out of interest? I think you're trolling a bit there. I think any other forumer could have got away with what Owen said! Just thought Owen's comment was a bit rude (nothing...

Craig would have done better on a different day and actually thought he was better than yesterday's challenger.

Tom S

Well done Adam- best I had seen him play today.

Thomas Carey wrote: ↑Thu Aug 23, 2018 1:01 pm How's Adam going to end his run? Another 7 time winner? The first octochamp of the series? Will he score more than 74 with a win to avoid the unfortunate record? Find out in like an hour I guess

Judging by it so far, yes to all bar being a 7 time winner.

((5x25)+7)x7+8/8=925

Was essentially looking for the 37 to be multiplied by the 25, but could only conjure 8 off in the end!

Tom S

Hipster as an r7 alt. Would consider Adam to be one with his laid back attitude, myself.

Tom S

Thought the 926 sum was very tricky, personally couldn't even find a way to get 1 away....

Tom S

Rooting for Adam to do 8, wouldn't be the strongest one I have seen, but the show needs one and he seems a nice guy, too. It's really the numbers he needs to practice.

Tom S

Hejiras as an r4 alt

Tom S

(75+2) × 4 × 2 + 9 as an alt method in R3.

I thought this at first too but, being a fan of Van Halen and other classics, I think it might have been intended to spell out "D. Lee Roth".

Rachel could have just subtracted the 8 and 6 to get 561- bit surprised she could not find it, but it was the 4th recording.

RESHOWN as another R2 beater.

Most impressed by Adam's Mailshot declaration.

Commiserations to Steve too, hopefully he enjoyed his run on the show.

Yeah might be worth a watch someday...

Cannot copy and paste pics on my computer, but was watching the show "Celebrity Money for Nothing", and one of the upcyclers, Sarah Peterson bore a striking resemblance to Ann Dibben. Google "Sarah Peterson Upcycling" and you will see what I am on about

How long do you's reckon Eddie will last? I don't know whether he will octo, but he put in a good performance yesterday, not quite as good today, though he solved the conundrum very quick, which stumped me. Well everyone has off days. So if he has any more off days but they don't cost him the game ...

On the other hand, IMO Matthew's win on Friday can be attributed to just pure luck with his risky words since he genuinely did not know whether it was in or not...but seriously, someone please end the Octochamp drought, we should have had two by now and we have none! :( I don't think so at all.

Maybe it would be re-filmed and a new one would be put in place, but agree with your point, nevertheless, Mark.

Guess Matt's just an afternoon person, not a morning one (assuming he ended one day and started another).

Another player that looks good briefly and then falls away. I wonder what today's winner will go on to achieve. I kind of had a gut feeling that Matthew was not going to go far, even though he put in a very good debut. Bar the blip on the last numbers, Eddie put in a solidly consistent performance ...

I wonder what would have been done though if someone did declare Relucting, as I spotted.

I would agree. I suspect he will come fresh faced in the finals, and as it stands, I still find him a threat to do very well in the finals.
