Yea ZEMINDAR for round 2 is a nice one, well other than it being a tax collector in India.

Alternative second numbers: (7+7+9)x6=138

BTW, nobody's commented that Rachel put up ^GAMETS for GAMUTS (subtitle was wrong, too) :) :!:

According to subtitle, he said ^DOSIEST, which is invalid. :o

I'm guessing the crew were a bit sleepy by the time this was filmed.

Anyway fairly unremarkable one-sided game otherwise.

Ahh shit. DOSIEST should have been disallowed, can't believe myself, Susie and the team missed this.

As for the GAMET board-shot, this was an editorial error. Not our finest hour by an means on this particular show. Majorly pissed-off. :evil:

I went for DOSIEST too. :oops:
Now it's being disallowed, I only got 95, instead of 102. :cry:

I noticed Rachel only put up 8 letters in one of the rounds as well, and the bulbs had gone on about 5 segments of the clock. Innis' biro was leaking everywhere too.

Shoddy.

Well played Innis, another solid ton win. SPHERULE was excellent also. 8-)

Also another hilarious week with the legend Tim Vine :D

SLIDABLE in round 7? Also spotted PATRIATE but Kai beat me to it, was rubbish in all the other rounds tho

Another great showing Innis, really enjoying it so far, Spherule was brilliant spot

What must make it worse is that there is such a large diverse community of highly-functioning members of society who would notice or care about these errors.




That was sarcasm BTW.

I was pleased with ZEMINDAR and SLIDABLE but I was truly trumped with the speed of the conundrum and SPHERULE. Best word of series 61...so far. Just managed to stay ahead 101-97 but I'm in an armchair and I'll be shit in a studio etc...

As good as I've come to expect Innis. Hope you can keep it up; I think they'll be even better to come!!!

The look of sheer glee on Innis' face when he gets a good word (spherule=awesome) or the conundrum is fantastic. Many more to come, I'm sure!

In the ANODISER round, when the other guy declared 9 I thought "I bet he's spelt it wrong" - I wondered if Innis was thinking the same thing when he declared 8 (if I were in that position I don't think I'd manage to keep a straight face as I panicked about what 9 I'd missed).

Damn, thought I'd done great to get PATRIATE and SLIDABLE, only to have my hopes dashed as I rushed to the comp having watched it today to post my finds.

I noticed the DOSIEST thing as well, but assumed it could be spelt with an s as well.

Great start Innis. You seemed really confident and relaxed.

Well played so far. It would be a good week for Scotland if you become an octochamp and Andy Murray wins the tennis.
