Spoilers for Tuesday May 28th 2013 (Series 68 Prelim 49)

[Jordan F]

Two new contestants join us today after Joe McGonigle became an octochamp yesterday. They right now don't need much to make the top 8, 3 wins will do it. Who will succeed, and could they sneak into the finals?

Join Jack for the recap later.

[Tony Atkins]

Alt first numbers (9x25)+(7x10)=295

[Peter Mabey]

First numbers alt: (25+7)x9+7

[Jordan F]

OLEANDERS for a real 9 in the SNORELEAD round.

[Tony Atkins]

Seems 1 away is best on the 3rd numbers.

[Tony Atkins]

FOAMIER in R13.

Jessica believes she scored her first maximum in today's game: 127 (unless I can't count). The question is the third numbers game: 100 50 1 7 6 1 target 781. Closest possible was 780 (unless someone got it exact that is) and Jessica got 3 away... she would still get the same points for being 3 away as 1 away.

Don't know where she found OLEANDERS though also SOCIETAL in round 10 and ARSENIDE in round 12 as DC equallers.

(Sorry if I'm going totally off the subject but in today's DCDL, there were two PRATESI+3 tens selections: PAPERTIERES^ (APPERTISEE^) and SPOILATEUR^ (TROUPIALES^). And worse still was the selection SSEESDESES !! Can't see that happening on the English version. Anybody care to say which has been the worst with the most duplicates?)

I believe by apterous standards(someone else can clarify if I'm wrong), that's considered a perfect score, but not a max game, since I believe apterous only credits a max on the numbers when you're closest to the target. Either way, a perfect score is very impressive.

FOAMIER in R13.

Also EMPORIA in the same round.

How would OUTRATED have been in round 4?

Regarding Rachel's remarks about Bob Holness as James Bond - he didn't play him on TV, but in a South African radio production in 1956. See this site for a list of all the actors to have played Bond (the earliest was Barry Nelson in 1954).

No OUTRATED^ unfortunately.

BASILECT in round 10.

[Andy Platt]

I've just done the wiki update without having watched the episode myself. I guessed the whole episode based on a letters probability distribution matrix, so if anyone can check for errors that would be great.

Round 1 here had only five different letters in it. Don't know if this is a minimum, but I know one person who'd be able to tell you.

[Zarte Siempre]

I've got this one to hand as well - bear in mind I let someone pick who I'm playing for me, if it's 2 newbies - and my little brother picked "the one in red" - so that's who the scoring is based on.
