So, we're into the final phase of October, which of course means Hallowe'en this weekend, and on Sunday, it's Countdown's 32nd birthday, with a certain CO-event in Edinburgh on Saturday too.

George "Pryn" Ford has been in spectacular form, particularly in the 4 large numbers games, which we certainly won't be forgetting in a hurry.

Dave Myers is in DC just for today, before Marion Bartoli's favourite, John Inverdale, comes back in for the rest of the week.

Join Andy for the recap later.

That was more of a standard method solve from George in round 3. I managed to get that one.

INERTIAL in RELATION round.

(100+2)X(25+4)/6=493

round 6 - why to stick to your guns by george "pryn" ford

((100+25)x4)-((8+6)/2)=493 for third numbers game

Nice spot, very neat!!!

And disappointing to see you only go up to 93,800 in R3 when you could have gone to 93,900.

I hope you aren't starting to bottle it.

Nice factorisation again.

Looking at that, I'm struggling to see how it seemed so hard at the time. It looks really obvious now.

Just seen that Ita was on in Series 44. But, great work again, George.

well done George..am loving the 4 big calculations..in awe at you being able to do them so coolly!

Thanks guys!!

BAASIE round 7 for an unusual 6 - knew learning the South African words would payoff one day!!!!!

BAASIE in round 7 but I wouldn't have gone for it. LIGULAR as an alt. to GORILLA in round 1 too. It was in the ODE 2 but removed from ODE 3 and is now in the ODO.

Very good again, George! Keep these awesome four large solves coming . Don't even think about ditching it for the evil two large again.

Typical, you wait ages for a baasie and two come along at once.

I know right, I hate 2L too I just didn't want to bore anyone... My mum told me off for it afterwards hehe...

Thanks!!

So she should!
