Some great efforts there, although unfortunately, noone could get the 865. rhb, iamatiger, alcra, Mat and Starrman all got 864. Here’s their methods…
rhb
25 + 2 = 27
27 + 3 + 2 = 32
9*3 = 27
32 * 27 = 864
iamatiger
(25+2+2+3)*9*3 = 864
Starrman
2 x 2 = 4 x 9 = 36
3 / 3 = 1
25 - 1 = 24
24 x 36 = 864
Mat Kelley
9*25=225
3*3=9
225-9=216
2+2=4
4*216=864
alcra
(2+2) * 9 = 36
25 - (3 / 3) = 24
36 * 24 = 864
Favs got 872
9 plus 2 is 11 times one of the 3's = 35
35 times the 25 = 875
Minus the other 3 = 872 *Richard nods approvingly* *Carol shakes head, pointing out that 11x3=33* *Favs gets 1 star in her little black book of contestants, rated by intelligence*
And, now, over to our expert… *Richard looks hopefully in the direction of Carol* *Carol shakes head dejectedly knowing that people will now think that she is only as intelligent as the rest of the contestants. Except Fav.*
Unfortunately, I could only get 864 as well…
25*9=225
3*3=9
225-9=216
216*2=432
432*2=864
But I’ll keep trying to the end of the show.
Could alcra, Mat, Starrman, rhb and iamatiger post an *accepting applauses in style of recipients own choosing* post? I also need a *Sorry, I just popped out to the loo, but will gladly accept applauses now* post from OnThePiste for the previous round.
And, now coming into our final round of this game, the Countdown Conundrum, we can see that it really is a Crucial Conundrum. If wucky, rhb or Mat get it, then we will have to have a sudden death conundrum round between whoever gets it and Chris. If Chris or anybody else gets it, then Chris claims the game. *Sounds of brittle bones breaking in audience as onlookers clasp each others hands with the tension*
And today’s Crucial Countdown Conundrum is…
*** W O N C T U D N O ***
Fingers on buzzers, your times starts now.

Post your 9 lettered solution immediately upon solving it to get the rec.

*** C O U N T D O W N ***
*Richard claps. Carol claps. Other Contestants clap. Pensioners sit stewing as they don't like rude boys winning in Countdown.*
So all that means that Chris is our new chump, er.. champ. The leader board is all level at the moment, with Marcusr and Chris tied with 1 win each.
Game 3 coming up, right after these...

Hello and welcome back to Countdown, Game 3.

And moving straight into Game 3, round 1, the letters are...

*everyone else notices that richard has fallen asleep, WAKE UP RICHARD!*
*Richard sits up with a snort. Fixes glasses. Richard looks a little green. Collar and tie, slightly open*
Amm, Some great words there. *Richard breathes deeply. Has small hiccup*. Chris wants Carol to get her GIBLETS out. *Carol curtsies in direction of chris* Jacko, Alcra and Starrman all have a BLISTER on their hands from overworking their buttons since Carol's last costume change. Iamatiger is thinking of having some fun with GERBILS later. *Richard loosens collar some more. And puffs. Decides punning is too difficult when hungover!* wucky3 and GalaxyShield both match the 7s with PIGLETS and BRISTLE, respectively.
Slight change in rules. As you PM me the word in the normal Letters Round, can you also post a *Puts down pen and waits for clock to run out, while partaking in an activity of the contender’s choice* post at the same time, as I’m having trouble keeping track of who needs a rec or not. For the time being, can the winners of that round… Starrman, imatiger, chris, wucky, GalaxyShield, alcra and Jacko, please post an *accepts applause in own smarmy style* post.
*Richard looks relieved as he passes control over to Carol for Game 3, round 2. Takes big drink of water*
And the letters are…
