Excellent game and excellent performance over the whole series by both players.

By the way, what did Eoin declare in the ORGASMED round? I don't think the recap is up yet, and I couldn't catch it.

There's a bit of a clue here: http://wiki.apterous.org/Episode_5178

But, if you can't be arsed to look, it was RADOMES.

No - I just didn't think to look there. I'm not the expert you are but I assumed that the wiki recap and the one on the forum were somehow linked. I didn't realise two people recapped each game.

I think I might add 48 and 57.

A wiki version is generated automatically when the forum one is, but I think if the forum one doesn't show up after a few games then James tends to fill it in.

Yes, my bad. Was only thinking of the top apterous players and their series when I wrote that part of the post.

Quality stuff. Not much to say as so late to get to see it. Glad it was an almost-competitive final still, even though Jack was nigh-on unbeatable.

And shame on you all for not commenting on Andy Wilson's lovely story about watching the episode. That was the most heart-warming thing about the whole affair other than the (aforementioned by Charlie) lovely looks between Eoin and Jack mid-round 14.

The local Cambridge paper finally gives Jack a mention.

Interesting how they say he solved the final conundrum in a "lightning-quick 3 seconds".

It was a quarter of a second

Yeah I saw that in another article. They clearly just copy and pasted. I don't think I am even in the Leicester mercury today, there must have been minor act of vandalism somewhere which it was more important to report on.

I just tried this and found someone (Imogen Elsdon) who constantly posts status updates about her son (who is named after a geological feature).

Imogen Elsdon... Wonders if river keeps watching countdown if he'll be as good as jack (current contestant) in a couple of years??

Imogen Elsdon... River likes countdown. Or should i say river likes rachel the numbers girl on countdown...

Looks like we could have the youngest contestant and the youngest member of the Rachel Riley fan club (River is a toddler).

I think you're confusing the words "games" and "seconds" there, Charlie.
