Toast 16,150 Posted February 18, 2020 1 hour ago, time said: I'm now on seven, with Kellye Nakahara, but still not a winner That's really broadened your winning opportunities though, as you have several unique picks and now only need one of those.

Bibliogryphon 9,588 Posted February 25, 2020 Don't everyone get excited this is not an update but I am currently in the Starbucks in Brussels airport which is where I started this thread over two years ago. As of Sunday the game will have reached the two year mark. Has anyone here had the misfortune to catch the ITV quiz show Tipping Point? That is where we are now.

RoverAndOut 4,746 Posted April 16, 2020 This is amazing. I don't check in as often as I should with you fine chaps and chapesses at the moment, but I happened to be on tonight and saw this thread trending. I thought 'has it finished?!' Of course not! Not fancying my chances though - my best bet is two rather sprightly-looking Dallas actors. I have got a 98-year old Grammy winner though, but that would put me in the seemingly never ending purgatory that is World Boxing Champions. Is there really nobody whose death would win it for two people simultaneously? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However @time gets an eight hit his third in Dallas but doesn' get any more permutations in his one to win situation.

Bibliogryphon 9,588 Posted April 29, 2020 There are five teams one hit away and thirty six names that will end the game. This is the league table with number of ways to win @time who has 10 ways to win @YorkshireBanker who has 9 ways to win @spadecooley who has 8 ways to win Bibliogryphon who has 5 ways to win @deathimpends who has 4 ways to win I bet you all got really excited then.

gcreptile 10,979 Posted April 29, 2020 I can't believe I'm still at least two hits away from victory. I also can't believe that Stephen Sondheim saw his 90th birthday, and that Sidney Poitier is still alive. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
