Ian Volante
Ian Volante was a contestant in Series 56. He is a statistician from Edinburgh. He is also an Apterite.
He also qualified for the Series 29 Grand Final on Fifteen to One with 211 points (although was subsequently unable to appear in the Grand Final because he became stranded in Australia, due to which he was unable to make the studio dates), and has appeared on University Challenge, Mastermind and Only Connect. On 31 May 2010, he appeared on A Question of Genius where he came 2nd out of 6 contestants, beaten only by the previous day's winner. In 2014, he appeared on the revived Fifteen to One, reaching the heat final and eventually finishing 3rd. He made yet another quiz show appearance on The Switch on 29 November 2019.
He made his CO-event debut at CoNot 2011, followed in 2012 by an appearance at COEDI.
Volante will return to Countdown as a contestant in Series 82.
