Round 15: F R E D C R O N E
C2 buzzes on 1.75 seconds to say REENFORCED which is incorrect.
C1 does not buzz.
The answer was CONFERRED.
Final Score: 113–58 (max 153)
An incorrect guess from our challenger Andy, our champion Toby does not buzz but it is left to a certain Rachel Riley to solve the conundrum. Take nothing away from Andy he gave as good as he got.........join me again too see of Toby can get his 5th win in the meantime......it is bye for now.
