*chris sits smugly knowing that carol is going to give him more than a t- shirt after the show!😛😛😛😛*
*Cut to chris, wearing a Countdown T-Shirt, and with a matching Countdown mug and Countdown pen that Carol gave him after yesterday’s show. Looks strangely disappointed.*
A tough round, that one. Darvlay, alcra and Jacko typically decide to clown around after getting 8 with MINSTREL. But our winners of this round are wucky3, who decides to keep it on the straight and narrow, with TRAMLINES and chris and Freddie, who decide they want a holiday in the pun, and are at the airport TERMINALS. *Ooooos of appreciation from audience. Could be wind.*
*Richard looks hopefully in the direction of the Dictionary Corner, and more specifically Gyles* Could we do any better? *Gyles looks dejected, and it can be seen straight away that he doesn’t have as good a word as the contestants.* I’m sorry Richard, the best word we could come up with was LATRINES for 8. LATRINES, queries Richard, I dig that word. *Guffaws all round. Except for Freddie, who leans over to alcra, and whispers “I don’t get it”*
Straight onto Game 3, Round 3, and its Carol with the numbers.
*Upon instructions of an inverted Sindarin lambe from darvlay, Carol looks confused, until darvlay states that the elven lambe looks just like an English T.* And the numbers are…
*** 25 9 1 5 3 8 ***
And Cecil sets the target as…
*** 619 ***

If you get the exact number, then post your solution immediately to receive the rec. If you get within 10, pm me your solution, do not post it. Closest person, within 10, receives the rec. In the event of a tie, all closest receive recs. If somebody posts the exact solution before you, feel free to post your different solution if you so wish.

26* 8 = 208
208 * 3 = 624
624 - 5 = 619

Yes, that's perfectly ok, Richard. I did it a very slightly different way...
(((((25*8)+9)-1)*3)-5)
And we'll be right back after a commercial break for Game 3, Round 4. But before we go, I have a letter here. Now, I don't normally do requests, unless I'm asked to... *Contestants point and laugh at Richard. Carol rolls eyes to heaven.* But Oliver De Place from Lancs, asked me to read this letter about his sons...
*Clears throat. Fixes papers on desk.*
I was watching Countdown yesterday, and I was just about to solve the Crucial Countdown Conundrum, when my kids burst into the room after school. And then the little bas... *Richard coughs. Looks around for help* I can't read that.
*Commercial Break*

Welcome back after that commercial break, and we're straight over to Carol for Game 3, Round 4; a letters round.
The letters are...
*** V R A M O E H S I ***
PM me your words

I'm going to scrap the awarding of recs for each round, as it has gotten too confusing as the number of players has grown. I would still appreciate *Puts down pen and tries to psyche out opponents in manner of players choosing* posts when you pm me your solutions, and *Accepts applauses in manner of player's choosing* posts when you have been declared the winner of a round. This is just for fun, and to keep the thread moving. Cheers.
