HELOTISM - round 5

Get yourself on the show fella! It's considerably more fun than living on this thread.

strange answer for a numbers round

Patricia did well to get out of this one, I thought she was a goner until the last couple of rounds. It reminded me a lot of my own 2nd show against Gill Ford, when she outplayed me on the letters and I only just got through by being better on the numbers and pipping her to the conundrum. It shows what a game of fine margins it is sometimes.

sorry - was it round 6?

I saw HELOTISM and I know it's only an equaller but I had SCROTAL in the last letters round which is the type of word you tend to come up with if you watch Countdown in your undies.

Annoyingly I'd remembered that if HOMIEST and HOLIEST are there there is an 8, but couldn't recall the word. SCROTAL is a great spot, not one to go shouting out in work..... in case you get the sack
