Cheers! I did write SAILINGS down, but I wouldn't necessarily say that going for it meant I would have got the record. Once I got the 3rd nine, I tensed up as I knew the record was on. Hence why I missed SITUATED the round previously. Losing that round, I was able to sort of give myself a little pep talk to refocus myself and I definitely played better from then on. If I hadn't have done that, I might have gone for something silly like BILLIWACK for the conundrum, which was actually my first thought.Gavin Chipper wrote: ↑Thu Dec 12, 2019 2:54 pm Great game. Shame he missed the 8s in round 11 for the record score though!
Overall, I predicted James would win by around 60 points and in the end, the margin was way higher at 87 points in part to the plethora of "Nines" available here. Third highest-score in the History of Countdown, and to top off all three highest scores now were set in 2019! (This is surely a good year to remember eh?) Nah, regardless of whether you broke the record or not we would still support you. There's nothing silly, you should be proud of it after all!James Haughton wrote: ↑Fri Dec 13, 2019 1:51 pm Anyway very happy with 147 (nice snooker ring to it as some pointed out to me afterwards) and I'm not really on Zarte's or Elliott's level, would be a bit silly me being in the 150 club with them.
