Countdown recap for Monday 29 February 2016. Apterite Paul is challenging for the number 1 seed of this series. A superior points advantage means he only needs a win today to do so. Will he do it??? C1: Champion Paul Erdunast (7 wins, 824 points) C2: Challenger Dave Higgins. DC: Susie Dent and Julia...

ROSTERED in round 4???

Sean Fletcher

Great, tense final to a rather unpredictable series. Well done to both, especially Jonathan. 4 series won by returning players in a row now. Interesting. How did they all do on their first appearance? All of them lost, although Jonathan's loss was certainly the cruellest of the 4, as he led for the...

Pretty sure it's 2/6. I missed BROADACRE, INNERVATE, RHODONITE and some stupid new addition I'd never heard of that Lee spotted.

Hello, I'm stepping in for this recap as Jen has not had time to do it. Apologies if I don't recap to her standard but I'll do my best.

Watching it now, I agree about getting the hang of it and think it's quite good. Can see myself watching it again.

Sean Fletcher

C1 and C2 both declare the same target in a numbers round, both not written down. C2, who declares second, transcribes his method to Rachel, who accepts it. C1 says "I've done it the same way". As there is no way of proving this, C2 (playing devil's advocate) says that C1 may have cocked ...

Couple of leagues to join there.

Thanks Dave, game is "currently updating" so can't join but already have a team on that one so hopefully will let me join later

Has anyone got a fantasy football league set up?

Sean Fletcher

I was quite wrong with my answer then

Great question though Mark

Sean Fletcher

Based on the rules of probability every time you toss a coin it's an independent event. You have a 1 in 2 chance of hitting a head or tail each time. So to hit 2 heads it would be 1/2*1/2 equalling 1/4 which is odds of 4-1. For the 5 heads from ten coins the best chance is 1/2*1/2*1/2*1/2*1/2 equall...

8. Harry Peters is controversially given a return appearance on the show, wins eight games with a record-breaking octototototal of 980, and qualifies for the quarter-finals. He beats the #8 seed in the quarter-final, and beats the #4 seed in the semi-final. In the final he faces the #2 seed Gary Go...

1) It's the same word with different pronunciation. Disallow. 2) If the word wasn't allowable at the start of the game it shouldn't be allowable for the duration of the game. Disallow. 3) C2 would have had to declare second either way. Allow. 4) If you replay that round you may open yourself up to h...

Tricia was clearly cheating on the second and fourth numbers games. In the second game After Tom declared his first answer, which ended by adding the one, she just changed it to adding 9 over 9. This conveniently meant that she didn't have to show her paper (i mean WTF adds 9 over 9 when theres a o...

FOREWARN in Rachel's IRONWARE round

Sean Fletcher

Alt first numbers (25*4+6)*8 - (9-7) = 846

Sean Fletcher

That seems really obvious now I know the why. Cool trick!

Sean Fletcher

I've spotted a link between the 7th number of the sequence being multiplied by 11 to give the sum of the first ten numbers. That is the how. I'm stuck on the why though!

Sean Fletcher

Tricia, love, the '50s called. They said they finished 55 years ago. Playing against her yesterday and today, both would have been a crucial conundrum and she would have beaten me today..great performance...Should be a strong contender to get to the finals I would have been 15 ahead going into the ...

Rigatoni in ROASTING round. Unsure whether I can put the S on the end for a nine though?

I got that too. Surprised Rachel didn't get the answer within the time though.

No jugate I'm afraid, not even in the ODO.

EXEAT in round 5, RAZOOS in round 8 and KRAALED in round 12.

2nd Numbers Alt.: ((50 - (6 x 3)) x 6) - 8 = 184
3rd Numbers Alt.: (9 x 8 x 7) - ((4 + 1) x 6) = 474

Really??? No points in R5 for me then

The 4th was a Friday. (I know because it's a holiday in my country, so no Friday night social dance for me...)

Cheers for pointing that out. It's been rectified.

Round 5: I had retailed and stopped looking but realised late on there was only one E. Had 2 choices - spot a word quickly, hence MODE, or declare a word that wasn't there

Sean Fletcher

Thank you, it appears straight forward enough (famous last words), just hope wit doesn't desert me on the day!

Sean Fletcher

I'll give it a go - Monday 9th it is then!

Sean Fletcher

Cheers for the advice Anthony. Don't have Sky Plus but I can get it on catchup through 4od on my laptop so can watch it repeatedly on that if needed.

Sean Fletcher

I've just remembered I have an exam on the 9th, can't find my statement of entry for it though, but I'm 99% sure it's in the morning. If it is in the afternoon i'll be home by around 15:30 (traffic dependent) so could do it off catchup. Would that be ok?

Sean Fletcher

Those are added after hitting "Make text recap" I assume???

Sean Fletcher

I've had a bit of a play with that and it seems straight forward enough. I've noticed on the recaps that some words come with definitions. Is that automatically done?

Sean Fletcher

I think Hodgson has chosen a very good squad with a nice mix of experience and youth which will, hopefully, bode well for future tournaments. I'd expect us to get out of the group and should be good enough to make the quarters but we'll lose to either Brazil or Spain then. Brazil vs Germany and Spai...

8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown returns on Friday, some recappers will be required for that. There's also a spare recap going next Monday (June 9), as Andy is on holiday. All enquiries welcome. 8-) I'm free that day so could potentially do it if you're really stuck. What exactly would I have to do?
