Spoilers for Friday November 15th 2013

Post by Matt Morrison »

Michael Botto, vague friend from school days. Or more accurately older brother of good friend from school days.

He's the stadium announcer for AFC Bournemouth and "appear on a TV quiz game show" is one of his "Big List of 10" he's doing to raise money for British Heart Foundation.

Hopefully he can pull it out of the bag but the record of people what I know from my past going on Countdown is not good.

I'm waiting to see how many points he gets. I never give straight donations. (Phwoar!)

If I was him I'd have put "have sex with Rachel Riley" on the list. Is she really going to want to fuck up his fundraiser?

Surprising that 6 is the max in the PORTAL round - I foolishly went for "troopial" (s.b. troupial).

Did Simon not write the 920 solution down as it was so easy or as it was a late spot, I wonder?

"ruser" or what ever Ran said also needs a different letter selection.

One of the alts for 2nd numbers (9+9+2)x8

Strange cut away from Rachel giving the target there. Was there a wardrobe malfunction or what?

Has anyone ever done 6-3=3 before?

Nice and fitting conundrum there (nicely solved too - I thought it was "proodness").

I remember someone doing something ×1 and then being one out. This was years ago though. May Graeme can find it.

I think Michael Macdonald-Cooper did 6 - 3 in one of his games and didn't get it spot on but I'm not sure.

PINAFORE for a beater in R8.

Yeah, he did, as you can see at 5:40 on this clip.

I thought of LOTHARIO in that round, but it seems to be capitalised wherever you go. :P

COOTIES/TACKIES in round 10.

1st Numbers Alt.: ((75 + 2) x (10 + 2)) - (100 / 25) = 920
2nd Numbers Alt.: ((9 x 9) - (8 - 7)) x 2 = 160

Try and watch the show, or look at the Wiki. Can't be too hard for you. :)

But, if you can't be bothered, it's equallers, as opposed to beaters, mainly as by the time I watch it, all the beaters are already mentioned on here........

I actually knew, but I've noticed this bad habit of yours to put words without saying what they are!!!
