User:Mglovesfun/List of my amateur Countdown games

This is a list of Martin Gardner's Countdown games at the Edinburgh Countdown Club and COLIN 2005. This page is not really considered an article as its relevance to televised Countdown in tenuous. Instead it's a user sub-page and is part of User:Mglovesfun.

Edinburgh Countdown Club, 2004

Games were sorted only by points and not by wins. Therefore I know despite winning three games out of four I finished in the bottom half, as I got a beating from Melanie Beaumont in my final game, which was all that stood between me and four wins out of four.

Games 1 and 2

I don't seem to have a record of these games anymore. All I know is that I played two Edinburgh locals and won both games.

Game 3

Jenny Haldane played Martin Gardner with Martin Gardner winning 50-46. The lexicographer was Melanie Beaumont.
