Countdown

Xenophile

A young 17 year old genius who was the challenger yesterday won with a total 120 points, he worked out the conundrum in less than a second.

Worth watching today on Channel Four at 14.05 or Channel Four +1 at 15.05.

His private life could be just as exciting as yours, what makes you judge him without knowing him? Jealousy?

I wonder how many of the people who get 122 on Countdown are autistic?

I wonder could the same question be asked of high scorers in Mensa ?

Na, they just practice all the puzzles and stuff before hand. Anyone can score big in that.

I got the incumbents name wrong in an earlier post.

His name is Thomas Carey, a 17 year old 6th.year student.

Today he was one point behind 99 to 100 coming into the conundrum. Once again he worked out the conundrum in one second and won the contest 109 to 100.

Not often someone who scores 100 is beaten!

Xenophile

Young Thomas wins again today..............116 to 37

Today it took him a little longer to workout the conundrum ! All of four seconds.

Sergei Malatov

I would {mod snip}.

Again Thomas wins today 119 to 80. He beat a Dublin chap who sets the odds for Bookmakers.

Today he worked out the conundrum in two seconds.

No Countdown tomorrow because they are showing horse racing.

Again, Thomas Carey wins today, 109 to 41. He worked out the conundrum in three seconds!

Thanks, I haven't watched countdown in years. I do/ attempt the London Times Cryptic crossword every day though which helps keep the brain active

Xenophile

Thomas is an Octochamp he wins to day with the score 110 to 62.

He worked out the conundrum in two seconds.

He goes through to finals as the highest scorer.

He was pretty good as well.

Is Matt Le Tissier a genuine contestant or is it promotional in some way?

Normal contestant afaik but didn't see the start of his episode yesterday or today.

I don't see how an appearance on Countdown would be promotional.

Great first semi final yesterday.
I can imagine the guy who won pouting in a Calvin Klein ad.
Am contemplating taking a 1/2 day from work tomorrow just to watch the final.
