Thursday is here and so is Daniel, how a half-octochamp after his hard-fought win over Ben yesterday.
Can he up his game to be a 5-time winner tonight
I'll be around with the recap later.

It's my brother's birthday today (09/09) and he's called Daniel. What a coincidence.

FINAGLE is used in the song "Razzle Dazzle".
I can see both Daniel's eyes today, which I like.

Ouch, all Daniel had to do was add 50. Honesty wins the day again.
Also the challenger was close with his method: (75+50-2)x8-1 to give 983.

Alt Numbers 2:
((75 + 50 - 2) x 8 ) - 1
Surprised that Daniel lost his nerve, but he's on for his third century in 5 games.
Success - he got his century, but after a couple of dodgy rounds !

Did it take you 2 minutes to copy my previous post? Anyway well played Daniel, another excellent performance. Unlucky re: ALEURON - I think it's valid in Scrabble and I used to think it was in too until I offered it and realised it's only ALEURONE in Countdown. Pretty awesome today.
