RR: 570. (9 × 10 + 100) × 3 (10)
Score: 92–70 (max 127)
Sadly Laura blanks this round............Phil gets 4 away and secures his second win..............Ms Riley shows us how it is done but uses a less complicated method involving the 3 times table.........I used a different method of getting there.....sadly for our challenger it is Game over.
3-1=2
9*2=18
25+18=43
100-43=57
57*10=570
Otherwise known as the omelette method where you have to use all the numbers
Round 15: G E T I N C O R K
C1 buzzes on 19 seconds to say ROCKETING which is correct.
Final Score: 102–70 (max 137)
What a seesaw battle this contest has been....... firstly congratulations to Phil he will be going for his third win in the last of the series 89 heats, take nothing away from Laura she had some good spots slowly but surely Phil got the better of her..........you can join me again for that recap......I bid you farewell..........until next time.
