I lost to Adam in the semi-final, but i went into the game knowing i had no chance, it was always gonna be Adam or Edward to win it, despite there being 99 players in the series. But since I had more wins and points that the other losing semi finalist I have (unofficially) awarded myself third place!
In the second numbers round, I factored for the following solution (179 x 5 = 895): 4 + 3 = 7 25 x 7 = 175 6 - 2 = 4 175 + 4 = 179 179 x 5 = 895 In the eleventh round, there was an eight in AVULSION, a medical term for the act of tearing or pulling away. You might have an avulsed tendon as a result of the dislocation of a joint, for example. In the twelfth round, another seven was FERMATA, the musical marking that looks like a semicircle with a dot under it and means you can prolong the note as long as you want to and as long as the audience can stand it. In the last letters round, there was a seven from geometry, QUADRIC. Not to be unkind, but it seem ironic they could get one maths seven and miss another, though admittedly VARIATE probably comes up more often than QUADRIC does. In the final numbers round, the contestants' solution was similar to one of the ones I saw, but I always try to solve low-target one-large games as "five-smalls" to increase the challenge, so this was the way I did it: 6 x 5 x 5 = 150 7 + 4 = 11 150 - 11 = 139 Another solution is: 7 x 5 x 4 = 140 6 - 5 = 1 140 - 1 = 139
I feel sorry for Adam Gillard. He was the only good player I've seen this series (I couldn't be bothered to see the whole series. :P) All of his scores were triple figures except this one. I was rooting for Adam to win the Championship. He was also Number 1 seed. I found it a big shame to see Adam lose in a few rounds this match and I'm very disappointed. :( I wish I saw him again and win a tournament for once.
here's another 139 ladies & gentlemen
5*4*7=140
6-5=1
140-1=139
Awesome performance by you and Edward :)

@mclarenguy22 Thanks for your support! Ed was an awesome opponent and is a great guy. No complaints here. £1000 was always the better prize anyway :p
