Oops, almost forgot.
On the first one you could have pluralized detainer.

Not particularly. It's her job to think of answers to the numbers game if the contestants can't do it. She's no more of a showoff than the dictionary people.

Why did the vector cross the road?

A friend of mine has been to see a few shows while they were being recorded (as a member of the audience). Carol actually does have much more time than the contestants to work out the solution. In one numbers game (in which neither contestant got an exact solution), she was very close to an exact solution herself but needed more time; the recording was then paused for two minutes for her to complete her solution. That’s what my friend told me anyway.

Re: countdown

I wasn't sure if number 3 could have an 's' on the end, so i left it at 7 letters.

Both right, Jane.
I think the worst censerors are the inhabitants of the Austrian town of Fuc***g.
Or maybe the people who checked the Brits get rich in China thingy the other day.

I got the Conundrum today!
