Episode LAN256
From Countdown
Episode 256 of Letters and Numbers was broadcast on 22 August 2011, as part of Series 3.
Judithe Hall played Rebecca Skovron, with Rebecca Skovron winning 53 – 43, after a tie-break conundrum.
NOTE: The conundrum had two valid solutions: UNDERFLOW and WONDERFUL. Rebecca could've won without a tie-break conundrum, if her alternative answer would've been accepted.
