Discuss anything that happened in recent games. This is the place to post any words you got that beat Dictionary Corner, or numbers games that evaded Rachel.

Meanwhile, back in the real world, Brian is going for win No.7 today. He seems to have got over that midway blip last week, so hopefully I'll be doing his octochamp recap tomorrow.

Interesting having Jane Moore in DC this week. She's the 3rd Sun/News of the World journalist in DC since Jeff & Rachel's arrival and the previous 2, Jon Gaunt & Ian Hyland, didn't get universal approval, shall we say. It'd be interesting to see what everyone else thinks of her as the week goes on.

What do you expect from the sort of person who would write "cunt" on a family forum?

I'm not a fan.
She comes across (to me) as hard and not a warm person (reflected in her writing too.)

There's one good thing about being a maths 'o' level failure - I always see the easy way to get the numbers:

Round 5

50 + 4 = 54 times 7 + 3 = 10 (answer 540)

Why did they make such a meal of it??

2nd numbers (had TV off for phone call, so correct me if it had been done)

((6 + 7) x 8) + 75

easier way for last numbers game:

50 + 5 times 6 x 3 (55 x 18) = 990 - 7

He's also from West Yorkshire which means that statistically he's 92% likely to vote BNP.

That's twice today I've been happy with a solution ( I got this one the same way as Rachel) only for you to point a much simpler way. Maybe playing too much Apterous means we tend to overcomplicate things sometimes?

I thought Jane Moore was Jan Moir until I saw her name in the credits.

Jane Moore seems way too pleased with herself. Penny Smith was my favourite in a long time.

The charm of 2 large is that it gives a lot of ways to begin, and often they don't all work. You can use just one of the large numbers. You can use the 2 in tandem, as Brian did. You can combine them to give another large number. Occasionally it helps to divide one into the other.

This was a particularly dull example because most of the natural ways of starting led to a simple solution. Solutions based on 50*10, 50*9, 100*9, 150*4, 50*9+100, 100*5+50 all work quite easily. I assume Brian simply found that the first method he tried worked, and left it there. The challenger must have been paralysed by nerves.

Judging by your solution to R14, which I think was far from obvious (code for I didn't get it), you must be pretty good at the numbers game.

Fortunately, I'm 92 + 8% likely to never ever vote for the BNP.

Only 99.36%? Shame on you.

92 + 8% is 99.36, but maybe it was out of 99.36. You racist.
