All discussion relevant to Countdown that is not too spoilerific. New members: come here first to introduce yourself. We don't bite, or at least rarely.
Yeah, when I saw the Supreme Championship conundrums I wasn't really convinced PENETRANT was a real word either, much less the "intended" answer. Reminds me of a CoC game when the answer was clearly meant to be RELAPSING but the person guessed SPANGLIER instead.
Anyway, awesome finds JR Nice to see more of the second-greatest Countdown tournament of all time.
I'm not dead yet. In a rut right now because of stress from work. I'll be back later in S89. I also plan to bring back the Mastergram - if I can find a way to run a timer or clock through pure MediaWiki without having to upload to Vimeo every time.
He gave his answer as promptly as any other contestant would, and nobody would have known he'd changed his answer after buzzing had he not told Richard. Fair or not?
Fair or not? Fair, in my opinion. He came up with the answer straight after buzzing, without hesitation, repetition, or deviation. Oops, wrong game show
