    Yes please :)

    How are you coming with mine?
    It's to do with boardrooms.

    Really not very well! :blush:

    So far:

    Series 12

    Oliver
    JD

    Currently, Michelle, Natalie, Aleksandra, Mukai, Rebecca, and Karthik are definitely not in this sequence.

    One hint: the winner and the first to be fired are never in this sequence. It is also very rare for the Week 2 firing to be in the sequence, though, as Tim Stillwell shows, not impossible.

    Not quite. For example, in Series 1 Matthew is on the list despite never moving teams.

    As for jude_le's riddle, all of these were in the boardroom with the eventual winner. (You forgot David Stevenson in Series 11).

    yay, you were right! :D i thought that it'd be kind of easier. especially with season four.

    Week 8 has passed.

    I now know that Samuel is on the list and also that Frances is not.

    Djfunnyman's answer was coincidental for Series 12 (not any more since Samuel is on the list) but it does contain one interesting point which I will reveal later as it is a major hint.

    Samuel is on the list having been fired first time he was in the boardroom

    Not quite. JD is on the list despite being in the boardroom before. Consider all people on the list from all the series.

    After Week 9, Dillon has been added to the list.

    Currently, the list for Series 12 is:

    Oliver
    JD
    Samuel
    Dillon

    Week 11 has passed.

    Series 12:
    Oliver
    JD
    Samuel
    Dillon
    Trishna
    Jessica

    The winner can never be on this list, but at the moment if Alana wins then Courtney will be on the list. No one else can possibly be on the list.

    People fired on their first boardroom appearance?

    Not quite.

    The series is over. Here is the final list:

    Series 12:
    Oliver
    JD
    Samuel
    Dillon
    Trishna
    Jessica
    Courtney

    Here's a hint: the rule itself has nothing to do with switching teams. However, if a person fired on Week 2 is on this list, someone must have switched teams at the start of Week 2, which is relatively rare.

    Also, it is irrelevant whether someone was PM or not or whether someone has been in the boardroom or not, although it is possible that people fired on their first boardroom appearance are slightly more likely to be on the list.

    Series 13:

    Siobhan
    Sarah-Jayne
    Anisa
    Bushra
    Joanna
    Elizabeth

    Michaela's inclusion is unclear, as I did not anticipate the double hiring. What I will say is this:

    If Sarah had won alone, Michaela would be on the list but James would not.
    If James had won alone, Sarah would be on the list but Michaela would not.

    In either case, the winner can never be on the list so neither Sarah nor James is on the list.

    Will have to think about it, but this one might be too hard.


    Anyway, an easy one:


    S11

    David
    Selina
    Richard


    S12

    Samuel
    Dillon
    Frances
    Courtney

    S13

    Andrew
    Bushra
    Harrison
    Joanna
    Elizabeth




    Just like your riddle, the first fired candidate and the winner can never be on the list.

    Candidates that were fired having won as project manager but never lost as project manager.

    For my riddle, look at all of the past series as well. I will give more hints if need be.

    My riddle is still unsolved.

    In Series 14, the only two candidates to be on the list were Kayode and Daniel.

    Not quite. Sarah-Ann and Khadija would both be on the list if that were the case. Look at all candidates from previous series as well.

    Since no one is getting this, here's a major hint:
    For this season, you have to look at not just Kayode and Daniel but also Jasmine and Camilla. See if you can apply this to other series.
