*ba-da ba-da ba-da-da-da BOWWWWWWW!*

racefan12: 7 (SCREENS)

Cheery Dog: 7 (SCREENS)

I'm getting deja vu here - I could've sworn this happened just a couple of rounds ago. Oh wait - it did :P

DC:
Would you believe there was a niner there? UNCREASES would have scored you 18 points.

21-14, and Cheery Dog can easily make a comeback as they make the picks for this numbers game.

I was just trying to will the A to become another N for a nine.

I feel like making it feel difficult.

9 10 7 3 4 8


Let's see...

999


That's the highest number you can possibly get on this. Best of luck getting there...

*ba-da ba-da ba-da-da-da BOWWWWWWW!*

Cheery Dog: 999

racefan12: 998

Alright, let's look at that 998...
racefan12 wrote:9×10=90
7+4=11
90×11=990+8=998
Nothing wrong with that, but let's see if Cheery Dog really did get it dead on...
Cheery Dog wrote:

(8+3)*(7+4)=121
-10=111
*9=999
And they did!

10 points will bring Cheery Dog out into the lead 24-21, and it's really an exciting match now as we start the second half with some letters from Cheery Dog.

I believe that's the first time both players have submitted with different final answers. (although I did go through 998 before finding the solution)

six consonants and three vowels.

*ba-da ba-da ba-da-da-da BOWWWWWWW!*

Cheery Dog: 6 (RATION)

racefan12: 6 (RATION)


You know, that's the third time in four letters rounds you've both come up with the same thing. Keep this up and you may break a Countdown record :P

DC:
Sixes abound with this round, but just the one seven, AIRPORT.

30-27, and racefan, it's time for some catching up, methinks.

EDIT: Bad math now fixed.

*ba-da ba-da ba-da-da-da BOWWWWWWW!*

racefan12: 6 (AMORAL)

Cheery Dog: 5 (MORAL)

One letter makes all the difference, and it's racefan that gets the points that time.

DC:
Couldn't do better than that, though there were equals like MORTAL.

Racefan caught up! It's now 33-30, but Cheery Dog, there's still time for a comeback as we go to the last letters of this game.

yeah letters aren't my strong suit.

I'll go for 6 consonants and 3 vowels again.

Stopping the clock, I appear to have gaffed and put up the wrong letters. (That's what I get for trying to update around midnight :P)

Corrected letters will appear this evening.

*ba-da ba-da ba-da-da-da BOWWWWWWW!*

Cheery Dog: 7
(SNAILED)


racefan12: 7 (SLIDERS)

A good try there, Cheery Dog, I can see what you're getting at, but I'm afraid it's not in our dictionary. Still time to catch up, though, so don't lose hope yet. That means racefan12 gets the points.

DC:
SLANDERS, RAINLESS, and SARDINES would have earned you eight, but add an I to that first word and you would have ISLANDERS for 18 points.

Still a tight game in Countdown terms, 40-30, and racefan12, this is your chance to put it out of reach. Pick us some numbers, please.

And your target...

557




(expired on 2017-07-05 22:45:00) to solve it, what with it being Independence Day in the USA. If both players submit sooner, this may be cut off for the sake of moving things along.

Results to be edited in later, but both players made it for 10 points each. Racefan12 needs this to win, Cheery Dog needs this to force a tiebreaker. Here we go...

Countdown also to be added later.

Luck of the draw that it was posted before my lunch break instead of after... otherwise you'd have seen it first.

Good game

No time to update ATM, but results will be reflected in OP sometime soon. Next game starts around the end of this month.
