Andrew is certainly tough to beat on the conundrum, though.<br /><br />The many spellings of GARROTTE is something that I've had "up my sleeve" for a fair while now... but I don't think I've ever seen it in practice. A bit frustrating, really. *chuckles*Geoff Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11150696891132723600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2571384408188974384.post-43617466441071868472012-07-31T19:04:18.291+10:002012-07-31T19:04:18.291+10:00I had a decent game and it was still game on at th...I had a decent game and it was still game on at the conundrum but Andrew just beat me to it - I pressed just after his buzzer sounded.<br /><br />STAMPED<br />BOUNCER<br />605 = 8*75 + 10/2<br />CHOIRS<br />CURATED<br />845 = 8*100 + 75 - 25 - 4 - 1<br />GAROTTED (wow, so many variant spellings allowed!)<br />550 = (7 - 2)*100 + 50<br />2sVictornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2571384408188974384.post-76399949059108685742012-07-31T17:51:08.349+10:002012-07-31T17:51:08.349+10:00Jan: I've mentioned IMPASTE a couple of times ...Jan: I've mentioned IMPASTE a couple of times (episodes 301 and 323) but usually chosen PASTIME instead. Similarly, in the relatively recent episode 6 I mentioned IMPASTES but opted for PASTIMES. Good game from you, which would have been made even better if you had chanced IMPASTED!<br /><br />And a really good game from you, Sam.

Another second or two and I would have got the conundrum, and I wish I had written down IMPASTED in the first round. Has IMPASTED come up before?
