From Countdown
- ...that during Series 42 Helen Wrigglesworth had the word ROADSIDE disallowed by Mark Nyman, prompting Countdown to revert to the previous edition of the COD for adjudications during the rest of the series?
- ...that in his first heat game, Ben Nicholson had his offerings disallowed in five consecutive letters rounds – but still won by 32 points?
- ...that the third letters round on 26 September 2012 produced the selection SIENUEDST, which could be rearranged to spell the name of resident lexicographer Susie Dent?
- ...that eleven games have contained two numbers rounds with the same target, but it has never been possible to solve two rounds exactly the same way in a given episode?
