Although it's not mentioned on the programme, it's actually Hamish's 61st birthday today.
Let's see if he finds todays game a piece of cake!!

Rachel's trying to disappear into the set again! Do they not employ anyone that thinks about colours?

Since we're on a roll, I might as well offer
(75-4-((8x7)/4))x8

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.

Pot, Kettle & Black spring to mind here.
Perhaps you meant (75+(8x4)+7)x4.

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.

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

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.

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?
