Not TV, but I'm sitting in a field near Macc watching Kim Wilde sing at Rewind North.

Nik Kershaw just finished his set. Ironically, while he sang "I won't let the sun go down on me", he let the sun go down on him...

The 1% club. I’m still in it at 15% but I’ve used my lifeline.

Snap! Us too.

 

[Mottie]

Wasn’t quick enough for the maths one.
Can’t even guess the 5% one…

Out, how can a plus be a multiplication

Out, how can a plus be a multiplication

I grasped the addition, but the multiplication lost me too..

Mens semis and final this evening in the 100m. Plus we have three women in the 800m semis, including one who is just seventeen.

I grasped the addition, but the multiplication lost me too..

The answer wasn't a multiplication. It was another addition.
There were four or five pairs of numbers. You then had to add up the sum of all those pairs.
imagine a clock face, for simplicity.
You add the1 to the 7 to get 8, the 2 to the 8 to get 10, the 3 to the 9, to get 12, ad infinitum.
Then you add up all those simple numbers, as in 8 + 10 +12 etc.
Or maybe easier to imagine the opposite faces of a dice, so 1+6, 2+5, 3+4 gives you 7,7and 7.
Then you add up the 7's.

Clare Balding is the worst presenter ever. How did she ever reach this position?
