Re: Spoilers for Tuesday 27th March 2018
UNTESTED in R2...I chickened out on VROOMED in R1...
Had Glen got ORDAINERS in R13 and solved 530 in R14, he would have beaten John 76 - 72 but sadly that was not to be (Note that obtaining the former only would still have been enough to beat him, the score would have been 73 - 72! It hurts when you know you could've gotten it and subsequently win the game...
Alternative for R14: (75 - (8 + 8+ 6)) x 10

I didn't notice it in previous games but the champion guy was asking for letters like they were helpings of dinner. Instead of asking for a second one etc. he was asking for seconds and thirds.

Also asking for seconds when it was his fifth...
Anyone laugh at the unintentional harshness by Nick at the end..."Well played Glen, but not today"

Same- I dismissed him when he said 7, and me and my mum both sat smugly in our chairs because we thought we would gain extra points against himMartin Hurst wrote: ↑Wed Mar 28, 2018 9:30 amYeah - was a great spot. I was sure he was going to say "tomatos"

You are all bad people.When he said seven, I thought he might have had "tomatos", but I didn't think it was the most probable outcome. I was expecting to lose the round to him.

He would have been in very good company looking at the list of names that have done similar on Apterous before https://www.apterous.org/lexplorer.php?word=tomatos As I said, was a great spot and will be interesting to see how his progress continues!Gavin Chipper wrote: ↑Wed Mar 28, 2018 11:04 am You are all bad people.When he said seven, I thought he might have had "tomatos", but I didn't think it was the most probable outcome.

Not that far if every round is a numbers round.Martin Hurst wrote: ↑Wed Mar 28, 2018 11:16 amHe would have been in very good company looking at the list of names that have done similar on Apterous before https://www.apterous.org/lexplorer.php?word=tomatos As I said, was a great spot and will be interesting to see how his progress continues!Gavin Chipper wrote: ↑Wed Mar 28, 2018 11:04 am You are all bad people.When he said seven, I thought he might have had "tomatos", but I didn't think it was the most probable outcome.

(just saying!)
In the first TTT Nick seemed to be making the point that not all hygienists are female. Wonder why the tease-setter thinks they are......!

Nor me tbh! It was still pretty assumptive of the tease-setter though, which Nick picked up on too!
