Got a question for everyone that's currently stumping me at work. Any help much appreciated

The largest possible circle is drawn to fit inside a square of side 20cm. 4 identical small circles just fit into the gaps in the four corners. Find the diameters of the small circles

tomrowell

It most definitely was. Rachel tweeted that Countdown was going to be featured on the show at some point during the series

tomrowell

I managed to keep up with tradition and ensured that England went out on penalties

tomrowell

Very sad news. Was a top bloke when I played him last year and got me reasonably sozzled in the bar afterwards even though I had beat him. RIP Peter

tomrowell

Kirk asked me but I refused- didn't see how I could possibly come out with any dignity or credibility. Haven't seen it yet but judging by the adverts I was probably right

tomrowell

Gaoler

tomrowell

Not truly 27 as they both missed the first conundrum

tomrowell

Nothing worse than a disallowed blowjob

tomrowell

That was sexy stuff chaps

tomrowell

Think you're right Jordan great game so far

tomrowell

Conor is right- I spotted DIASTOLE and plumped for a vowel, JR is much better than me at spotting 9s.

Got to say well played to Jonathan he put me under pressure which forced a few mistakes and risks. Was glad in the end to get the conundrum and save a bit of pride. Generally i was so happy to be ...

tomrowell

Who gave the worst winning performance?

tomrowell

Depending on where Leicester are playing I might be there. Good to see another one in the Midlands

Ditto! An opportunity missed. Double max game so far? (Round 3 btw Adam for the pedantic among us).

Or the alternative (sadly invalid) nickname of BEVINATOR

tomrowell

Good game which swung back and forth like a tennis match. Well done Peter and Tom.

Question to you guys: Did the conundrum stump you both as it was already a word in itself?

Mauro

Yes Mauro. All i could think of for about 15s was 'Isn't parotitis a word?' Will be interesting to see if they go ...

tomrowell

I could have had CABRIOS in the ROBOTICS round as well

A few tweaks to mine, Charlie. I didn't have any crucials, i actually got 1/2 nines and i was 24 when I filmed it.

That certainly wasn't groovy baby

tomrowell

Jack Hurst is my favourite contestant ever

tomrowell

At least my worrying that he might get the magical 112 went out the window quite early on... what a great game that will go down in aptohistory

tomrowell

since apterous changed to a shiny new exterior i can't log in

You may or may not be interested to know i completed the course today in 2 hours 56 minutes, being narrowly beaten by a man carrying a fridge.

Hello all,
I would like to bring to your attention that I will be carrying the apterous flag in this weekend's Great North Run. I am running for St John ambulance and hope to be sponsored so I can recoup for them some of the money that Portsmouth FC still owe them.

If you would like to donate ...

tomrowell

I absolutely cannot handle the fact that 72 people out of 100 in this country doesn't know we went to war with the krauts

tomrowell

That was very good Eoin well done!

tomrowell

Can't help thinking RR should have worn a more appropriate dress in front of a minor

tomrowell

FIBROUS as a beater in rd 4

tomrowell

Right then, I will be coming but I will only play if you are short of numbers or as a standby as I have to dash off to the immensely important Leicester v Hull match at 3pm. i will return for social events afterwards. So if you need a right hand man Mr Clayton I can perform that role (badly) for you

tomrowell

Oh how i wish i had applied in time for series 62!

Hi I'm Tom Rowell, when a new feature comes out I don't bother to appreciate it or comment on it any way, I just demand more features. Also I'm a racist homophobe.

In other news, I've definitely had REVALUED twice now. And CASSOWARY. And CONNIVING. Anyway, you get the picture.

Great feature ...

tomrowell

We need a list to see how far up the mountain everyone has got and to see what percentage of conundrums they have solved to that point

HUMORAL in one of the early rounds

While playing Kirky yesterday I had SWELLEST rejected but the master reckons it should be in.

Thanks for all the compliments chaps, nearly messed it up!! Still can't believe I missed the 9 as I thought it was were but for some reason decided I only had 1 n to use when i had 2!
