This page was assembled from the skeleton data of Mike Brown's Countdown Page, and the recap written by Mauro Pratesi. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dumper (talkcontribs) 16:39, 16 November 2007

"NOTE: While it did not affect the outcome of the game, both contestants' offering of NOUGATS in round 1 should have been disallowed, as NOUGAT is given only as a mass noun in the dictionary, and therefore cannot be pluralised, so the final score should have been 47 - 37."

Are you sure about that? Where is the line drawn re consideration of foodstuffs as countable because you can have portions of them? — Stewart (talk) 16:42, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

In episode Episode 2935, Andy Porter was disallowed NOUGATS as it was a mass noun and could not be pluralised. I had that episode on VHS for several years, and it was definitely refused for that reason. Unless that was a change implemented during the gap between this episode in 1996 and the latter in 2001?
