Spoilers for Tuesday 10th March 2020 (Series 82, Prelim 49)

Post by Toby McDonald »

Like the other day, TOREUTIC as a beater, in R4.
TOPAZES/MAZOUTS/APOZEMS in R5
RECOINED in R12

Felt a bit for Ann at the end. :( But like Rachel said, even if she did get it, she wouldn't have won because Steve getting the conundrum would have made the score 79-74 to him. She seemed like a decent player though, PRONOUN was a great spot.

Can anyone advise how the following would be adjudicated:
Spotted 'wheats' in one of the rounds, but on checking, it's a mass noun. Although a food I can't see it qualifies under the restaurant rule. However, the example sentences of 'wheat' include the words 'other feed grain wheats'. So it has to be allowed?

Probably. It's valid on Apterous as well, so someone else agrees with you.

Mass nouns are perfectly allowed on Countdown.
