We've reached the final 10 preliminaries of the Stelling era, but are we still going to be treated with one more octochamp before Stelling returns to the Sky

Alex may not look like octochamp material, but he's still got some not unreasonable scores in the 80's and if he learnt how to write down his maths properly, a ton could easily be within his reach.

Can he get his hat-trick today

Join me later for the conclusion of my hat-trick of recaps later.

1st nos ((25 +6) x 8 ) -10
LADINO in R1
WHOLISM in R3

6x50-7x10+8 for the first numbers.

Or (25+6)x(8)-10

Shocked Rachel didn't get this in the 30 seconds, I would be embarrassed if I didn't.

ROQUETS over here!

OVARITIS was there in round 12 as a "nice" max. In round 10 I had (7*8-1)*6+9 but meh.

No WHOLISM, I'm afraid, Tony.

ISOHEL was a nice 6 though. TWOSOME in round 6, TONSURE in round 8.

3rd Numbers Alt.: (75 x (9 - 5)) + (6 x (1 + 1)) = 312

Not the highest standard by any means. Spotted ENTRESOL a few seconds out of time but otherwise I have no interesting words to offer.

1st numbers alt: (50-10-6)x7=238

AUGURED and TWOSOME as beaters today
