Spoilers For Tuesday October 20th 2009
WOW Brian Selway completely annihilated John yesterday. Is it just me or did anyone actually expect that to happen.
Anyway, can Brian make it 2 in 2 or will he do a Drinkwater and just plummet out of the running

I get the impression that between his love of Abba & Doctor Who there might not be a Mrs Selway.

1st numbers:
(7-1)*75 = 450
(9*3-8)= 19
450-19= 431
(7-1)*75 = 450
(9*3-8)= 19
450-19= 431

I wondered if QUAYING is allowed? probably not, don't think QUAY can be a verb.
Brian only beat me on that round, and I got the conundrum before him, all good practice, going on in just under two weeks!

Re: Spoilers For Tuesday October 20th 2009
I originally replied to Phil saying "Yeah, she got it after the fucking break and I posted after about 60 seconds!" but then I confused myself - I think it was the 2nd numbers that I thrashed her on, but yeah I think Phil was possibly right that I didn't need to post the first one, I'm not sure. Don't care too much eitherMark Harrison wrote:She got it out of time as well, the same way, but after the ad break.

Re: Spoilers For Tuesday October 20th 2009
Is the dictionary that Suzie uses not in alphabetical order? When Brian declared ACING, she said: "let me just check that ACE can be a verb", she looked at the dictionary which was open somewhere around the letter 'I' it would seem, then said: "yes, that's fine".

Third numbers (not in time):
75 / 25 = 3
3 + 2 = 5
100 / 5 = 20
50 - 4 = 46
46 × 20 = 920
75 / 25 = 3
3 + 2 = 5
100 / 5 = 20
50 - 4 = 46

Impressive there, Alec. I wasn't sure it was possible personally, although there were slight worries for me there.Alec Rivers wrote:Third numbers (not in time):
75 / 25 = 3
3 + 2 = 5
100 / 5 = 20
50 - 4 = 46
46 × 20 = 920
Firstly Rachel said that 150 x 10 = 1050. Then, secondly she said her best was 924, which odd considering that 923 was much simpler and anyone with half a brain cell should have got 923. I, like Jack got 918 which was (100+50+(75/25)) x (4+2)

I think I was being pissed off by just about everyone yesterday and I just took it out on my favourite TV show, for a very unjustifiable reason.
Once again I apologise to anyone offended by my unnecessary and thoughtless behaviour.

Btw, I consider my special episode as "1st Time: Part 2", since that wasn't part of an official series. So, I say I've only been twice, which means I could go back for a 3rd time.
