Spoilers for Wednesday February 26th 2014 (S70 P38)
Andy Naylor's up to 5 wins, the first contestant to get this far since Andy Gardner a couple weeks ago. Can he get a 6th? If he can, 99 or more will get him to number 3, 105 or more will get him to number 2, and 116 or more will get him to number 1. Of course, if he loses, he stays at number 4. We'll see what happens.

I wonder what Susie's word on the pencam was. Surprised that Nick didn't ask her about it.

SEVRUGA is the only unusal word there, so I guess it was that, but as Nick knew it it wasn't considered unusual enough.Bradley Cates wrote:I wonder what Susie's word on the pencam was. Surprised that Nick didn't ask her about it.
MOULVI one of several alts on the VALOUR round.

If Andy loses tomorrow, there's going to be some seriously interesting ramifications come the end of the series, with four people on 6 wins.
I'm pretty confident he won't though.

Yes, he seems to be getting better and better (11 maxes today I think), in contrast to some of the other players this series who tripped up almost as soon as the words "promising" or "octochamp potential" were used to describe them.
The quality of the challengers seems to have picked up this week too.

I'm not going to bother posting an alt but I was surprised by Rachel's convoluted method to 321 as if to imply there wasn't a straightforward method. I suppose if that's what she saw she couldn't be bothered to find a simpler way.

She seems to enjoy showing off by telling us there are a few ways but on rare occasions like today she gives something strangely inefficient or inelegant.
Nothing wrong with (50 + 2) x 6 + 9 for the 321.

Cost me a MAX GAME yet again, and even more bizarrely, I was thinking about it earlier this week for some reasonMartin Thompson wrote:No - thought about ENCOMIA + S but it's already a plural.Tony Atkins wrote:Another 8 in the last letters from CINEMAS+OS anyone?
So, that's 3 games and 3 14-maxers this week. The other 2 will be dull failures for me I guess.....................
SHOALED/TOUSLED in round 4, TRAIPSED in round 8, BEFORE/MOPIER in round 12 as equallers.

(6 x 50) + 25 - ((9-1)/2) for my 321, which is quite a long way round the houses I guess!Andy Platt wrote: Nothing wrong with (50 + 2) x 6 + 9 for the 321.
The 'trouble' I have with Andy is that he has more than a passing resemblance to Ben Kingsley as the evil Hood in the 2004 Thunderbirds movie! He is probably hypnotising his oppponents!
