Spoilers for Thursday April 5th 2012 (Series 66 Prelim 58)

[Jordan F]

John Bird got his hat trick in strong form again yesterday, and despite only having 3 wins, he's currently occupying the number 8 seed. Can he improve his chances with a 4th win today? Finally saw Anneka Rice yesterday and I'll say better than a lot of guests this season, but probably not one of my favorites.

Join James, who is guaranteed to give one of my five favorite recaps of the week, later on.

....really? They get AMNIOTES yesterday and they miss it today? Also, wasn't it round 1 that had AMNIOTE and round 3 that had AMNIOTES yesterday?

[Jordan F]

Good effort from Rob, I discovered that he's an apterite as well so his training appears to have come to good use.

Yes lol, luckily I got it.

3rd numbers game, 1 away (think its the best you can do):
(6 x 25)+10 = 160, 2x3=6, 6x160=960, then 960-2 = 958.

[John Garcia]

p.s. I missed round 1, just watched it on C4+1.

Just realized - AMNIOTE in R1 and AMNIOTES in R4.

Exact same thing as yesterday which also had AMNIOTE in R1 and AMNIOTES in R4!!!

What is going on???

Maybe the letters shuffler needs to be axed.

TREFOIL in round 7.

1st numbers: ((100+5)x3+4)x2+2 = 640

Very good debut by Rob, he looks capable of winning a few more.

And if you don't like MATINEE or AMNIOTE there is TEMENOI (lands next to Greek temples).

[James Robinson]

3rd numbers game, 1 away (think its the best you can do):
(6 x 25)+10 = 160, 2x3=6, 6x160=960, then 960-2 = 958.

Yeah, it is. I got 956 by ((((10 + 2) x 3) + 2) x 25) + 6

COUVADE in round 2, POOFTER in round 7, LISSOME in round 9, FOREIGN and PIROGEN in round 13.

ORRERIES in round 11
