Spoilers for Thursday 22nd May

[JasonCullen]

Since the first show of the series I have held on for dear life in the top 8 of the Countdown series leaderboard. However, will the returning 3 times champion Carl Dundas (a past contestant already) cruelly knock me off the leaderboard today after months of struggle!? Only time will tell...

[Howard Somerset]

Good luck, Jason!

[JasonCullen]

ELONGATE

[Michael Wallace]

TRIOLETS in round 4?

[Joseph Bolas]

1st Numbers: (75 x 7) + (((100 + 50) / 25) / 2)

I think thats right.

[Michael Wallace]

bit of a shocker
7*75 = 525
(100+50)/25 = 6
525+6/2 = 528

[JasonCullen]

i did the exact same. Absolutely shocking from Carol

[JasonCullen]

TRIOLETS in round 4?

There was only 1 "T" Michael

[JasonCullen]

So far, its not looking good for me because the challenger looks weak on the numbers

[Joseph Bolas]

If you looked at the board it was: 75 50 100 25 2 7

if you see that 75 x 7 = 525, if you remove them, you are left with the numbers in order, to get the 3: ((50 + 100) / 25) / 2 .

[JasonCullen]

Phew! Glad his 9 didn't count

[JasonCullen]

OLDISH?

[JasonCullen]

100+25+4+4+2/2 = 134

[JasonCullen]

BEVATRON

[Craig Beevers]

Hmm he bottled those numbers somewhat, can happen to anyone tho.

I went 10*75 = 750, (50+6)/4 = 14
750 + 14 + 7 = 771.

[JasonCullen]

It must be my lucky day . If Barbara was here I would kiss her

[Dinos Sfyris]

My 8 year old brother did a Hansford. He beat me on the conundrum getting it in under a second. Then again normally he just reads it out so he probably just read LINGTHING as LIGHTNING.

It can happen to the best of players

Hence the ? - it was rather a last-minute spot, which might explain the phantom letters

[Joe Denniss]

That conundrum was poorly mixed up. Made me think of that psychological thing whereby you can read jumbled words as long as their first and last letters are in place.

My only contribution to the forum in a long time and it turns out to be criticism. A true C4Countdown attitude, I think...

[Dinos Sfyris]

Its all relative to the size of the word though, isn't it?

A four or five letter word can easily be unscrambled: SRUE NVEER BNIRG TAOTL etc as you only have a few permutations of the middle letters.

but do this to a big word: UTLCRAETANCHLARCISIY and its a lot harder.

But even some of the longer words can be UNCHARACTERISTICALLY easy .
