A+

[Michael Wallace]

A+

I'd say A. Top effort, but you have to penalise slightly for slight of hand

Edit: Realised I didn't use enough emoticons to make it obviously a joke, so have some more

SECOND MAX GAME OF THE WEEK!!!

1st Numbers Alt: (75 - 4) * 6 + 25 = 451

[Ryan Taylor]

Nick highlight's today:

Nick: Marcia?
Marcia: A four.
Nick: A FOOOUR??!! I'm not sure we allow fours.

[the next round]

Nick: Jack, an improvement on 5 I trust?
Jack: Six.
Nick: *snorts* Marginal!


[after being told the definition by Susie]
Nick: My foot is always sole down. Unless things have got really out of hand.

Lots of Twitter hate for Nick but also some good Tweets too. Mostly people saying Nick has no personality. FTH!! Nick does need to speak slightly faster as sometimes there seems to be dead air in the studio. Not helped by the studio audience. It would be better if the studio audience were made to clap after almost every round.

Enough about Nick, the star of the show is Jack at the moment. Another excellent performance, sweeping aside your opponents effortlessly at the moment. Nice numbers skillz today and your conundrums are bang on. Big scoring too! I love the little kind of smile you give after saying your word each time. A few Twitter users have also commented on this too using words like "cute"! Groupies!

OCULUS is good isn't it?
SUDARIA too.

[Ryan Taylor]

OCULUS is good isn't it?

Yes. GLAUCOUS in that round coutesy of someone on Twitter who probably used a solver..

[Clive Brooker]

GLAUCOUS is pretty familiar to anyone with an interest in ornithology, although I did think it might only be specified in combination. I'll take the triple DC-beater though.

[Richard Priest]

Definitely noticed a difference today, Nick settling in and clearly more comfortable with everything.

Well done Jack.

[James Robinson]

Definitely noticed a difference today, Nick settling in and clearly more comfortable with everything.

Well done Jack.

Indeed, Nick definitely seems more at home now, but as mentioned above, the lack of an audience atmosphere was a bit more noticeable today. Very spooky.

Very well done again, Jack, especially that 2nd numbers game, which Rachel looked liked she'd done it differently or not got it at all........

NASALIZE in round 3 and CORNETTI in round 6.

Very nice, Jordan.

Indeed, Nick definitely seems more at home now, but as mentioned above, the lack of an audience atmosphere was a bit more noticeable today. Very spooky.

This was noticeable in Jeff's first few games as well. Odd.

My 1000th post which went unnoticed at the time.
