Spoilers for Monday 7th February 2022 (Series 85, Prelim 26)

[Thomas Carey]

Will Dan become an octochamp or will he catastrophically whiff it? Let's go on this journey of discovery together

[Jojo Apollo]

Well done, Dan, on becoming an octochamp. Excellent set of games there.

[Philip A]

Equal 5th-highest octotal.

[Gavin Chipper]

Equal 5th-highest octotal.

Of 967. You're welcome.

That 4 large had a much easier method: (50 + 100/(75+25)) × (8+3) = 561.

51×11 basically.

[Toby McDonald]

Well done Dan!

NAILWORT in R8

[David Williams]

If you had to make 881 out of 75 25 9 4 2 1, can you think of any way of doing it that doesn't involve multiplying 98 by 9? And if you were writing the solution on the board, would you actually have to pause and work out that it made 882?

[Howie Myers]

r12: UNREAPED

[Fiona T]

Great stuff Dan - enjoyed your run. Congrats!

[Adam Latchford]

Fantastic from Dan, early favourite for the series.

Thought he had some tricky games too in there, at least two banana skins.

Excited to see series 85 break the record for the most octochamps in one series with 82 the way this is going so far!
