Excellent last conundrum before the summer break - even if I did get stuck at DIMSUMMER!

I got 129, didn't spot EXEUNTED.
I think Paul's got just enough time to win 8 before Chris Davies starts, wonder if he will?

I was chuffed with EXEUNTED - three Es; that word can't come out often. I got 131 but missed HESITANT, a good spot Junaid.Innis Carson wrote:I got 129, didn't spot EXEUNTED.

I got 132, missed EXEUNTED (was quite pleased with DETENUE) but had METAZOAN.

Re: Spoilers for Friday 24th July 2009
I'd be a little surprised. He's just an average player who happens to have won four. He may win another four, but if he does I think he might set the opposite record to the one Andrew Hulme has just set.Innis Carson wrote:I got 129, didn't spot EXEUNTED.

Re: Spoilers for Friday 24th July 2009
I wouldn't call him average - he's managed a few spots that an 'average' player wouldn't, he's just let down by ludicrous inconsistency (although that does seem to balance out to 'average'). That said, I think I'd be surprised if he manages to avoid coming across someone who manages to beat him before hi s8 shows are up, but I guess we'll have to wait and see.Gavin Chipper wrote:I'd be a little surprised.

Re: Spoilers for Friday 24th July 2009
When Beryl got SPIRALS I was convinced she was going to end his run, and if she hadn't blanked out on both the subsequent numbers games, she'd have held on. But then I though Carol Warren was going to beat him, too. I'd be amazed if he he wins eight, but it would be pretty cool if he did.Michael Wallace wrote:I wouldn't call him average - he's managed a few spots that an 'average' player wouldn't, he's just let down by ludicrous inconsistency (although that does seem to balance out to 'average').

Re: Spoilers for Friday 24th July 2009
last numbers alternative
100-7+7 = 86 * 8 = 688
Enjoy the summer break.
An opportunity for those who love their 'Countdown Fix' to revisit some of the last month's programmes on 40D.

Re: Spoilers for Friday 24th July 2009
Don't you mean 100-7-7 = 86 or 100-(7+7) = 86. That might make slightly more sense.Tracey Lilly wrote:last numbers alternative

Another alternative is:
100 - 2 = 98
98 x 7 = 686
8 - 7 + 1 = 2
686 + 2 = 688

Re: Spoilers for Friday 24th July 2009
I spotted METAZOAN and EXEUNTED (don't think I would've risked exeunted though). Surprised Paul's managed four in a row but he does come up with some great spots.
Can't wait for Chris!

Re: Spoilers for Friday 24th July 2009
Grrr was pleased with METAZOA but didn't know you could stick the N on. Likewise I didn't put the -ED on EXEUNT as it sounded nonsensical. See you in 4 weeks Coontdoon. At least now I might get a chance to do well on *gasp* resits

Re: Spoilers for Friday 24th July 2009
Paul's an interesting player, in the sense that he makes a lot of amazing spots (usually 'everyday' words with unusual letter combinations) but also misses some really easy ones. He's looked like losing all 4 games at some point - Carol especially looked a likely winner.

Whoops! silly me I left out the brackets - yep I meant 100-(7+7) = 86
Thanks so much for pointing out the error and clearing up the confusion for every one.
