Rachel's trying to disappear into the set again! Do they not employ anyone that thinks about colours?
If you cut a gandiseeg in half, do you get two gandiseegs or two halves of a gandiseeg?

Re: Spoilers for Friday 1 May
Alternative for 1st numbers, how about ( 75 + 8/8 ) x ( 7 - 4/4 ) ?

Re: Spoilers for Friday 1 May
Since we're on a roll, I might as well offer
(75-4-((8x7)/4))x8
(75-4-((8x7)/4))x8

Re: Spoilers for Friday 1 May
You could also do (75-4-((7x8)/4))x8, and (75-4-(7x(8/4)))x8, and 8x(75-4-((8x7)/4)). I got all of these within the 30 seconds.

OK - a sensible suggestion, CATENANE for a DC beater in round 6. If the challenger could do numbers, Hamish would be no more.

To be fair I think Hamish would still continue to exist, just perhaps not in the geographical position of the champion's chair.Kirk Bevins wrote:If the challenger could do numbers, Hamish would be no more.

Apologies to all for the delay, but I have finally got around to posting the recap (although it's not really impressive ).

Re: Spoilers for Friday 1 May
Apart from I've just noticed the only two rounds I didn't max were numbers rounds. Grrr....had they been easier it would have been one of those magic moments that crop up rarely - a perfect game.Joseph Bolas wrote:Apologies to all for the delay, but I have finally got around to posting the recap (although it's not really impressive ).

Re: Spoilers for Friday 1 May
If the second and third matches, if either Heather or John had added that final letter, Hamish would have lost by just a single point. Close stuff.
Does Hamish have the greatest discrepancy between highest and lowest scores ever?
