From Countdown
- ...that Jamie Ilett-Jones's score of 129 points on 8 September 2014 is the highest winning score posted by a challenger who went on to lose in their second game?
- ...that 13 December 2011 marked the first and, to date, only game of Countdown without a single L appearing in the letters rounds – possibly because four tiles were 'borrowed' for the conundrum MORSTELLA and its solution STEAMROLL?
- ...that Gino Corr (pictured) became the first ever contestant to score the maximum 10 points on a 4-large numbers round, in round 3 of the Series 19 grand final?
- ...that Tom Carey solved all eight conundrums during his octochamp run in a total time of 17.75 seconds, breaking Harvey Freeman's record of 26 seconds that stood for 29 years?
