Re: Who is more awesome: Kai or Conor?
I can't vote.
They both have a deal of charm.
(Although not as much as Jeffrey of course)

Re: Who is more awesome: Kai or Conor?
Do you mean awesome purely in Countdown terms, or generally?
I don't know anything about Conor apart from his Countdown success. His profile lists his interests as 'jack all', although there must be more to the man than just Countdown.
Kai, however, apart from his octochamp run, is an ace goal-scorer for his football team (16 goals in 6 games), a keen swimmer, a very competent student of AS-level mathematics and he plays double bass. He has made a huge contribution to the Countdown Wiki, is well-mannered, considerate, and funny, and all this at the age of 13. It's enough to put many of us adults to shame, so he gets my vote.
Maybe someone would like to list Conor's attributes, then the voting might be more meaningful.

Re: Who is more awesome: Kai or Conor?
Like Ralph I'm going to abstain on this one, the reason being that I don't know what criteria we are judging the two by.
I agree with all that Alec has said about Kai, but that still doesn't mean that he necessarily wins because, as I said, we don't know the criteria.
If Jimmy were to clarify how we are to make our judgements, then maybe it'll be easier to make a decision.

Re: Who is more awesome: Kai or Conor?
Given that the question is in Countdown General and not off-topic I'd say Jimmy's intention was a Countdown-ability based poll. If someone did another poll: Who is more awesome: Man Utd or Liverpool FC in Off Topic I'm sure the meaning of it would be quite plain.Howard Somerset wrote:we don't know the criteria
I think both candidates are equally awesome-o at the game so I used the 2nd interpretation as a tie-breaker. Kai rocks my socks off for the reasons Alec mentioned and then some so he gets my vote

Conor has a cute butt but Kai has a prettier face.
If I suddenly have a squirming baby on my lap it probably means that I should start paying it some attention and stop wasting my time messing around on a Countdown forum

Youngest ever series champ in what was an extremely tough series (including Paul Howe, Jon Corby and Matt Shore) and now currently studying maths at some oxbridge uni ....
Sorry Kai (and this time it's not because I have been swearing like a sailor) my vote would be Conor.

Re: Who is more awesome: Kai or Conor?
You can judge however you like, but as Dinos said Countdown will obviously be an(/the most) important factor. It's just meant to be light-hearted really but Conor and Kai are my two favourite contestants OF ALL TIME (of all time).Howard Somerset wrote:Like Ralph I'm going to abstain on this one, the reason being that I don't know what criteria we are judging the two by.

Kai is the future of this country, Conor will sell secrets to Iran.
