How are you going to judge this? I could have a go, but I've already looked at them all for at least 30 seconds.hopeful traveller wrote: Time your answers, for you can spend no longer than 30 seconds. Faked entries will be disqualified.

Re: Countdown Game
Those who've googled answers or have clearly spent more than 30 seconds. Just as you can't judge the legitimacy of R15s and Z1s.GuyBarry wrote:How are you going to judge this?

Re: Countdown Game
I haven't googled anything, but it was impossible to read your post without looking at it for 30 seconds. Nevertheless, I'll try to give it a go as though it was an actual game of Countdown.

Re: Countdown Game
I only got one entry. I'll wait for at least another one.

I presume it was mine then!hopeful traveller wrote:I only got one entry. I'll wait for at least another one.
I've just noticed I made a silly error on the first numbers game - I must have misread the target. It's actually quite hard reading the questions off a screen.
