Spoilers For Monday January 6th 2014
So, 2014 is finally here for the regular season, and after an amazing 2013, this year has a lot to live up to.
In case you have forgotten what happened 26 days ago, Rod Chatfield had just become a 5-times champion, and he'll obviously looking for win #6 today. His conundrum record is also at 100%, so if it goes to a crucial, I know who my money's on.
In Dictionary Corner for the week is the sports presenter, and part-time critic of the looks of female tennis players, John Inverdale.
Graeme has retired from the Monday recaps, so Andy McGurn will be making his début in Recappers' Corner later.

513, one away: (100 - (9 + 7)) x 6 + (3 x 3)
EDIT: In fairness, I probably should have waited until after the break when Rachel got 514...

Re: Spoilers For Monday January 6th 2014
Happy to see the challenger win that game, must have picked up a good 7-8 maxes there, seemed bright and engaging which is hard to do in your first game.
Thought Rod might just have been good enough to make octochamp, but might be a blessing in disguise in a way as I felt that his 3-vowel picking made the game a bit stodgy and less enjoyable to play.

Re: Spoilers For Monday January 6th 2014
Rod was a nice guy, it was good to see him bow out with a signature conundrum finish, and I hope his 5 wins are enough to get him into the finals. Good luck to Bobby too, who seemed like a really nice cheery chap.
Did DC get a MAX GAME on the letters today?

Yes, they did.Callum Todd wrote:Did DC get a MAX GAME on the letters today?
Same for me.Andy Platt wrote:(100 - 3 x 9 ) x 7 + 3, outside of 30 seconds.
Slightly annoyed at missing VIOLATORS, but I thought Rod's risk was gonna be ISOLATOR, which was my 8 in that one.
DEHISCE in round 7.
1st Numbers Alts.: ((4 x 10) + 2) x 9 / 7 x (4 + 2) x 9 = 378
2nd Numbers Alt.: ((9 - 7) x 75) + (6 x 4) + 5 = 179
4th Numbers Alt.: ((6 + 2) x 8 x 10) + 1 = 641

Re: Spoilers For Monday January 6th 2014
When Susie was talking about MOUSES I expected her to get MOUSERS as an alt 7 to EMBRYOS.
Also alts of INCISED in the INDICES round and (50+8+6)x10+1=641.

Same as James for 641
378: ((25+9+4) x10) -2
but for 179: ((9x5) + 7) x (6-4) + 75

I did notice Nick say something to Susie towards the end about waiting all over the weekend for something, when we are led to believe Christmas happened since the previous edition

Re: Spoilers For Monday January 6th 2014
The word they were supposed to put on the front was QUALITY, but it was spelt out QUILATY, unless there's some I'm missing, that's a massive mistake, and no change yesterday either. Not watched today's yet..................Jon Corby wrote:No, what was it?James Robinson wrote:Also, did anyone notice the mega cock-up by the new sponsors of the show right at the beginning

They're trying to be clever. It's just a lazy attempt at anagramming, not a mistake.James Robinson wrote:The word they were supposed to put on the front was QUALITY, but it was spelt out QUILATY, unless there's some I'm missing, that's a massive mistake, and no change yesterday either.

Possibly the first contestant to accelerate with a mic clipped...

Besides they can hardly put up "AYLIQUT" and expect everyone to get it
