Coral's back!

[Rhys Benjamin]

As is C4. Sadly. Thanks to that pitch.

Any else think Rachel was a bit lenient on the first numbers?

I'd interpreted it as Coral had read out the wrong method, as I heard her shuffle her paper mid-solution. Can see why you may have thought that Rachel was being lenient, though.

Felt a bit for Dave at the end, but it was a great comeback from Coral, especially her conundrum solve. Enjoyable game, overall. Hope she makes 8, but have a feeling she'll become a finalist whatever happens from here.

They normally allow a correction on the numbers if it's immediate. I didn't think it was overly lenient.

Coral Heath is a bit like Coral Reef.

1st Numbers Alts.: ((8 x 4) - 4 + 75) x 6 AND (75 x 8) + ((50 + 6) / 4) + 4 = 618
3rd Numbers Alt.: (50 + 25 + 3 + 3) x 9 = 729 (9 cubed )
