Rounds: Here.
Disclaimer: I watched this episode when it first aired, and although I
did not recall any of it I cannot rule out memory being a factor.
We start the week with Anushan in the champion's chair, after his victory over Rachel last week. Richard informs us that Anushan is able to walk on his hands and also manipulate things with his feet. He asks how that started, and Anushan says that it was when he was quite small. Initially he would lean against a wall, but then he tried pushing himself off it and just started walking around. Somewhere along the way he learned to turn off light switches with his feet.
Tonight's challenger is Kim Butcher, a music teacher and very keen op-shopper. She collects a lot of things from them, such as tourist scarves and vintage tablecloths. She tends to buy her clothes by the kilo; in fact she is wearing one of her op-shop finds tonight.
Kim took the early lead in the first letters round, but Anushan took it back in the first numbers round. The lead changed hands again in each of the next two rounds, partly due to an invalid word from Kim, and Anushan took advantage of that to move clear going into the second break. But he fell from grace by trying an invalid word himself afterwards, and with the final numbers round tied it was anyone's game going into the conundrum. It was Anushan who solved it first, getting his second win with a scoreline of 47 to 31.
I picked up a maximal game tonight, with the only way to improve it being to shave some seconds off the conundrum. A very happy start to the week for me!
As usual, details after the jump.
