Spoilers For Monday February 27th 2012

Post by James Robinson »

So, we have entered the 8th week of the series, and hopefully 8 will be Peter's lucky number on Wednesday.

But, before we get ahead of ourselves, he still has to win another 2 games before even attempting to become an octochamp.

Back in DC for a 5th consecutive series is the 1991 World Snooker champion, John Parrott.

Join Eoin later for the recap. ;) :) :D

Just to be interesting:
(50 + 4) × (9 + 8) ÷ (8 + 1) = 102

Normative was great in round 4 for whoever spotted it, I found another interesting one which was MORAINE

Excellent again Peter, you're on fire at the moment. You've had some really good challengers recently too, which makes the high scoring more impressive.

Anyone else hoping for a final N in round 8 for JALAPENOS? It reminded me of the time when Peter got it against me on apterous.

Tks for the kind comments. Tks Jack, I was hoping for an n for jalapenos but it didnt come out.
Normative was a nice one but hit a blank there. All of the opponents were excellent players , and I would not like to play them again.
The results could easily go the other way.

There was Andy McGurn's last heat nearly a year ago, TERRAFORM, INTONATED and SOUTENEUR. (Rounds 7-9)

Interestingly, as you can see on the recap, the solver doesn't give POSABLE as in............ :roll:

Can anyone clarify please :?:

HELIX in round 7.

Another Weird 1st Numbers Alt.: 50 + (8 x 8) - (9 + 4 - 1) = 102

That does seem to be the last instance. Surprisingly, before today there had only been 4 cases in recorded history, the first being game 3967 in series 54.
