Re: Rare Entries Quiz I (New Series)
I need just one more set to make the quiz viable. If that entails answering "Susie Dent" for every question, so be it.

I think you should take a hint that Countdown clearly isn't popular on here...

Re: Rare Entries Quiz I (New Series)
There was a round with just 2 competitors before, I believe. But, please, if anyone could put answers together, I would appreciate it, as otherwise there wasn't much point me making the effort. Remember, all quizzes in this series count.

SPOILERS:
Did you know that on Friday, Kirk Bevins set only the second "perfect game" (a game where he got the best words/numbers solution) since the show's relaunch in 2001. He also holds the other one.
