Spoilers For Friday February 12th 2010
The weekend is now upon us, so can Craig keep our spirits high by going the whole week undefeated
If today's challenger is anything like Catherine from yesterday, then Craig will surely have his work cut out for him, but they'll definitely have to be up with their numbers just to keep up. Still can't get over how he did that 1st numbers yesterday
So, let's hope Craig can do Apterous/C4Countdowners proud, and hopefully won't get any Rawsonitis....

Wow. Shocked both missed (7+7-5)x100-5. I put 10 points on to the challenger's score before the time was up. Oops.

Re: Spoilers For Friday February 12th 2010
1st numbers was silly easy.
7+7-5 = 9, x 100 = 900, -5 = 895
7+7-5 = 9, x 100 = 900, -5 = 895

Thought I had a nice beater there with BOVVERS. Unfortunately it's only listed as a noun, not a verb, so no -s.
BOVVERED likewise would be invalid.

You can pluralise nouns, Liam. The problem comes because BOVVER is a mass noun.Liam Tiernan wrote:Thought I had a nice beater there with BOVVERS. Unfortunately it's only listed as a noun, not a verb, so no -s.

Re: Spoilers For Friday February 12th 2010
They didn't go to DC in round 12 so these aren't really beaters but there were 7s, like STOMPIE, IMPUTES, TIMEOUS.

Anyone else think the challenger was a dead ringer for comedian Milton Jones from Mock the Week and other stuff?

It seems like he's so used to factorising to find solutions, that he didn't even see the obvious way. I too saw this in about two or three seconds.Mark Kudlowski wrote:1st numbers (easier)

If you cut a gandiseeg in half, do you get two gandiseegs or two halves of a gandiseeg?

Anyone want to comment on FUNNEST which was disallowed about a year or so because there was 'a note in the dictionary'?

Re: Spoilers For Friday February 12th 2010
The challenger had other things on his mind. His wife who came with him was taken ill, couldn't come into the studio and spent the whole time in the sick room. The start of the prog was held up as he wanted to go in and see her. I saw them next day and she looked terrible, I had a quick word, didn't like to ask but looked like a very bad flu.
