Spoilers for Wednesday 22nd August 2018 (Series 79, Prelim 41)

Post by Thomas Carey »

Adam's back for game 7 of what could potentially be a very low scoring octorun. Tune in, or something.

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.

(25x7+7)x5+8+8=926 for the second numbers.

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

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

If the contestants only multiply by 7 once: (100-10)x7+5+2/2=636

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

Another repeated CECIL sequence is on the march. R3 yesterday matched R14 of this episode from November 2017, and all targets since have been the same.
I'm not dead yet. In a rut right now because of stress from work. I'll be back later in S89. I also plan to bring back the Mastergram - if I can find a way to run a timer or clock through pure MediaWiki without having to upload to Vimeo every time.

Well that was painful at the end. No offence to Adam but I kind of want there to be three 7 time winners just because it's such a weird thing to happen. If Adam wins tomorrow, a score of 74 would make his octotal match the lowest 15-round one so obviously anything below takes the record.

(Love the sig Johnny, one of many beautiful lines from that game)
