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.

Crazy, If Nathan hadn't missed that "open goal" i.e. the last numbers game, he would have won.

Re: Spoilers for Tuesday August 11th 2015 (S73 P32)
Hmm, think that's underselling the 404 slightly - working out how to make the 4 with which to multiply the 101 wasn't easy IMO, and it was certainly harder than some of the numbers games he'd missed previously. Only being able to get 400, however...*Steven M. McCann wrote:Crazy, If Nathan hadn't missed that "open goal" i.e. the last numbers game, he would have won.
(*Although he couldn't win unless he got all 10 points, so was probably only looking for the 404 - but even so.)

After tomorrow, seeds 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 could have 8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 wins. Has that ever happened before?
Anyone?

Easier to spot 111 x 9 = 999 than 27 x 37.
In the 287 Tony's way of saving the 13 and make the 4 a different way to x 75 by is a lot simpler than 72 x 4 - 1.
Seemed to be some unnecessarily complicated solutions today.

I just thought of the best headline ever for Nathan's performance in that game...Rhys Benjamin wrote:This is ridiculously easy to do, more so than you might think...Jennifer Steadman wrote:(*Although he couldn't win unless he got all 10 points, so was probably only looking for the 404 - but even so.)
"ERROR: 404 NOT FOUND"
You might be. I really, really, really want it to happen, but only without the bold type on the third "really".Rhys Benjamin wrote:Am I the only person who really, really, really wants this to happen?Johnny Canuck wrote:After tomorrow, seeds 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 could have 8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 wins.

Also, as I realised, an eventual 8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 lineup is actually inevitable, unless nobody ever wins more than one game again.

Does it mildly bother anyone else at all when a contestant says "I've got a risky 8... DESPOTIC" and then Susie says "yes, not risky at all" because it's valid?
