Episode 29 of Letters and Numbers was broadcast on 9 September 2010, as part of Series 1.

Naween Fernando played Frances Weinberg, with Naween Fernando winning 94 – 10.

Fernando achieved the second highest score achieved during the show's tenure, just one point behind the record, and the winning margin of 84 points was also the largest in the show's history, larger than any ever achieved in the equivalent Countdown format.

This was also a rare instance of a game in (a close variant of) the 9 round format in which a century was available.
