I'm presuming that would be AFTER completing it under exam conditions? Somehow, I don't think they will see the might of the puzzlebrains forum as quite a fair test!!!

Oh, no, I just meant for private consumption, out of interest. Our clever sods would have to do it themselves. :D Hey, Laura, don't suppose you fancy being reserve 4 do you?

So, gentlemen, has this progressed at all? Are you going to go for it?

Well as (one of) the developers of the software I use to write code (as well as being an MIT puzzle hunter/one time setter) is now a series champion, I am a bit fired up again to ask for more Puzzlebrains to submit a team.
Surely there is some interest.

Same answer still applies to me. Would be hopeless under pressure. And recently I've found I'm doing an awful lot of blank staring when I'm at home watching the show!

Same for me, I love the programme, but definitely a lot of blank staring!

So is this still down to the whole "needing a fourth person just in case" scenario? That's such a shame.

No, it's definitely the purple rabbit, the Noddycar driver and the jester.
The fourth number can be made up by some anonymous person perhaps.
