A retired teacher from Scotland, Kennedy first appeared in 2000 where he blundered on a crucial conundrum and lost by 18 points. He returned 17 years later in another close game. He got a crucial conundrum wrong again, but this time wasn’t costly as he was 7 ahead and Alex Smith comically drew a blank.
