Episode ZD193

< Previous | Next >

Episode ZD193 was broadcast on 22 September 2026 as part of ZoomDown Series 6.

This game was played as the second semi-final of Division F in the Round of 64. Stephen Read played Tom Carey, with Stephen winning 113 – 103. The host was Darren Godfrey, and the lexicographer and arithmetician was Adam Latchford.

NOTE: There were two games originally played this day, whereby the second was the Round of 16 match between Adam Latchford and Fiona Titcombe. However, because that was played prior to the completion of the Round of 32, it was cut from broadcast and re-uploaded as a standalone episode once the Round of 32 finished.
