Fixed now. As for Samantha's surname, the captions on Thursday said McLean, while those on Friday said MacLaine. I'd hoped they were reliable, but I guess not.

Can you provide a link?)Geoff Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11150696891132723600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2571384408188974384.post-84671104974010698282015-03-23T13:27:05.982+11:002015-03-23T13:27:05.982+11:00QUIET and QUEST and then INQUEST about the 30 sec ...QUIET and QUEST and then INQUEST about the 30 sec mark. <br />TARRIED<br />10*(50+10+4)+75/25=643 (3 off)<br />WHOOPING<br />FOLATES<br />(4*8-9+6)*25=725 (8 away)<br />BEADIER<br />I went the 5*135 route 3*(50-5)*(4+1)=675<br />MARMALADE (27s) Mike Backhousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05265408052872463790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2571384408188974384.post-25934721060462438252015-03-23T11:22:13.019+11:002015-03-23T11:22:13.019+11:00It takes a good answer to beat Anthony on number r...It takes a good answer to beat Anthony on number rounds.<br /><br />1.
