TRANSCRIPT · AUTO-GENERATED

Dr. Dot. The daily five minute skilled emotion. For everyone who's simply dotting about Alexa.

Hey guys, Robin here. Wimbledon starts tomorrow two weeks of tennis goodness. And so let's have a second tennis related skill. We are looking at or revisiting number tennis, which we first looked at over 600 episodes ago.

And it's a bit like Fizzbuzz for those people that know that, but with tennis with a tennis theme. I like because I open number tennis. Welcome back furious, Mashi Salamander. How many players do we have today?

One. Let's get a single player game started. The first rule in the game is every multiple of five you should say plum. I will go first.

One. Two. Three, four. Plum, six.

Seven, eight. Nine plum, eleven. Twelve, thirteen. Fourteen plum, sixteen.

Seventeen, eighteen, nineteen. Plum, twenty-one. Shucks. That didn't sound like a correct answer.

You could have said plum. If you think you said a correct answer, you can say a little challenge that. You scored 520 points. Keep up the good work.

Furious, Mashi Salamander, you are seven hundred and fifth on the leaderboard. Let's get some help. With a high score of 520 points. I think you can do even better.

Shall we see if you can beat your high score? Help. Number tennis is a counting game. All you need to do is count to twenty-one.

Twenty-one. But every time you get to twenty-one, a new rule will be added to the game. For example, every multiple of ten, you need to say carrot instead of the number. If you then completed the level and had a rule added that for every multiple of five, you need to say potato.

You would have to say carrot. Potato for the numbers ten and twenty. If you want to speed the game up and get more points. When it is your turn, you can choose to say two or three numbers at a time.

If I get a decision wrong, just say, allow it to challenge that. Yeah, I think I should have done that. Say play again to start a new game. Stop.

Okay. Okay. Thanks for playing. Plum, twenty-one.

That should have been alright, shouldn't it? So, yeah. You start adding in different times tables, different multiples. And so if you had, I don't know, six times table and three times table.

You'd have to say two things for six and twelve, etc. Fizz buzz. Fizz is, you know, whatever you want the first time table to be. Buzz is, you know, adding on another one and pop and bang.

And I think you can just go on and make it as hard as you like. There you go. It's basically Fizz buzz with a tennis, a tenuous tennis connection or theme. Guell, this is Robin signing off and we'll speak again tomorrow.
