Rounds: Here.
It's the crucial fourth night for Barry Harridge, and it looks like we're out of talking points for now. Richard asks whether Barry practised being the carry-over champion over the weekend. Barry manages to work in a comment about trying to do the crossword by DA, but really there's no substance here.
Tonight's challenger is Frank Rice, an education consultant who loves applying mathematics to everyday situations. When asked for examples, Frank cites using Pythagoras' Theorem to check that they had correctly marked out their tennis court. And that's it... two short contestant chats today; were they already running late this early in the filming?
It was another one-sided game, with Barry jumping to an early lead in the first two letters rounds. Frank was not able to get anywhere with the first numbers round, and Barry took a 21 point lead into the first break. He extended that in the next numbers round; Frank managed to stop the rot over the next few rounds but was not able to peg Barry back at all. Barry was safely ahead going into the conundrum; he buzzed in with an incorrect answer, but still finished a comfortable victor, 54 to 15.
I managed to match David and Lily throughout, but then messed up on the conundrum by buzzing in too early. So close!
