And it would be interesting to see those original results, Sam; I kind of regret not keeping my ancient scribblings.Geoff Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11150696891132723600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2571384408188974384.post-24712191911014860392012-05-30T12:17:46.685+10:002012-05-30T12:17:46.685+10:00I had seen the last three rounds of this episode o...I had seen the last three rounds of this episode on Youtube, but not the first six. There were two frustrations here: I didn't see Lily/Geoff's way to 742 until just after time, and ICEFLOES was a word that came up in one of my episodes, but I still missed it here in singular form.<br /><br />Because I remembered the winning approach to 431, I tried to find a different way this time. My answers:<br /><br />BARONESS<br />CERAMIST<br />160 = (7+9)*10<br />TOILET<br />DRAGOONS<br />741 = (100+25)*6-9<br />COMPARE<br />431 = (100/2-3)*9+8<br />(already knew the answer)<br /><br />I might not post much until the Masters, as I have seen all but one of the Series 3&4 finals too recently. Or I might just dig up my original Series 3 answers and post those (I will change my Jacob vs Anthony answers to make it look like I flogged both of them).Sam Gaffneynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2571384408188974384.post-58785810331138199552012-05-30T04:56:15.579+10:002012-05-30T04:56:15.579+10:00Well done, Geoff.
