Episode 6498
- 50 x 10 = 500
- 500 + 100 = 600
- 600 - 3 = 597
- 597 x 25 = 14925
- 14925 ÷ 75 = 199
Am I missing something?--Launchballer 19:22, 3 June 2017 (BST)
The part where you do subtraction before multiplication. PEMDAS/BODMAS, or whatever you want to call it. (50*10+100-3)*25/75 would indeed be 199, 50*10+100-3*25/75 is 599.

How do I know which guests do six episodes?--Launchballer 12:45, 31 January 2018 (GMT)
They'll have 3 recording sessions on https://itv.etribez.com/a/itvcountdown/countdown/welcome .

According to the above Internet Archive snapshot there are five quarter final episodes. Am I missing something?--Launchballer 22:25, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
Yes, only the last 2 of Dan Walker's would be quarter finals.
I'm going to wait and see if Phil Hammond is the guest for the 26th, if he is, I'll put the final taking place on 24th Dec (strange as it seems). Unless someone who was actually at the recording can give the right information.
Disabling editing rights for unconfirmed users
Is not a good idea. At all. You would dissuade genuine editors from contributing, and you would only slow the vandalism, not prevent it. My preference is that edits by unconfirmed editors be subject to pending changes; I will have to do some research as to how to enable it.--Launchballer 16:16, 25 April 2019 (UTC)

I don't agree that Paul Sinha's appearance deserves a mention in the article lede. None of the other guests are mentioned there; the fact that he attended last year's CO:LON is more relevant in his article. (I had actually intended to go to last year's CO:LON, incidentally, but the date of it fell two weeks after being ghosted, and I was at that point almost totally bedridden from depression. Might pop in this year.)--Launchballer 19:07, 26 April 2019 (UTC)
S72 US spellings
Are you sure? I had COZIEST disallowed in Episode 6158 because it was a US spelling? The Doctor 21:18, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
- It's US word rather than US spelling, and is fine in Premium ODO, COWAGE was similarly offered by Susie later that series http://wiki.apterous.org/Episode_6154.
ZoomDown OT
Hi Ray, how did you get the OTs for ZoomDown on Thursday? CDB is still down, which is how I normally do them? The Doctor 14:25, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
