Nice work, Sam!<br /><br />*chuckles* That numbers solution was a bit roundabout, Jan, but it got you where you wanted to go and that's the important thing. (Note that 6 + 5 + 3 = 14 also.) TINDERS is an interesting one; I think you would get away with it on L&N but Countdown would almost certainly declare TINDER to be a mass noun.Geoff Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11150696891132723600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2571384408188974384.post-89186342106138555602012-08-25T15:56:31.381+10:002012-08-25T15:56:31.381+10:00I had one numbers game that I really stuffed up on...I had one numbers game that I really stuffed up on, and I got the conundrum after Kiao, but who knows if David would have beaten me to it.

SPINNAKER nearly came up in Round 7.<br /><br />My answers were suspiciously like those of the hosts here, though the only thing that seemed familiar with the episode was Kiao. On the balance of probabilities, I would guess that I did see the episode in 2010.<br /><br />ODIOUS<br />FOLATE<br />Lily's way<br />CARBIDE<br />STEROIDS<br />Kiao's way<br />INSANE<br />Lily's way (quite quickly, had thought of 3*175 = 525 before the target appeared)<br />1.35sSam Gaffneynoreply@blogger.com
