Hmmm, how weird. No spoiler thread for today's show

Oh well, I'll start it off then. Will James Penny be a hat-trick winner today

Find out with Anthony later.

2nd Numbers Alt. (Nearly the same as James'): ((75 - 2) x (8 + 5)) + 6 = 949

I got that too. Surprised Rachel didn't get the answer within the time though.

Yeah, as it was almost right there in front of her, but hey-ho.

Nice to see CONSONANT as a conundrum again, not seen since this episode just before Richard Whiteley died: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzLCuUPVBE0#t=287

TRIBADES in round 10 and NEMATODE in round 11.

Funny they were talking about parody songs, as the word they missed in R8, BHOONAS, features in one of Chris Moyles's
parody songs with the alternate spelling - about when Comedy Dave didn't get his dish in the Indian restaurant -

I predicted neither player would solve 955 but was also shocked when Rachel didn't get it in time.

Thought it was good when James told Nick, after his comment about maths teachers, that he worked it out by then, and in a different way. Probably that way.

Looks like piskie isn't in then. Piskies occasionally comes up as an alternative spelling of pixies, but maybe ODO spells the singular with a Y only, even though googling it will find it with an 'ie'.
