It's fine! How are you doing with mine?
Well, it seemed significant that all of the candidates didn't get to interviews, until I saw Arjun.

I'm still thinking, but I wonder if its significant that a lot of them are consecutive firings...

I'll check back later.

Technically, Arjun didn't get to interviews, as Young Apprentice doesn't have interviews. But that's not important.

Do you need a clue?

I haven't looked at it in any more detail until tonight, to be honest. I'm a student and I was finishing a few essays!

Is it significant in any way that no-one fired in Week 1 is on that list or is that a complete coincidence?

Yes, it is significant... okay, a clue related to that:

Are people bored of these? I've had few responses to the last two that I've posted.

If people are bored of them, I won't do anymore, but I still enjoy them.

Okay, I'm going to give the answers now, because people have obviously lost interest in the Apprentice riddles. The answer to my first one is:

Spoiler


The answer to my second one is:
Spoiler


If anyone is still interested, I'll come up with some more, but only if there is clearly interest from the group. It's disheartening coming up with riddles that no one attempts.

Ack - sorry! Wasn't online over christmas, and I've stopped following the Apprentice sub-board since it moved off the front page.

Bring 'em back when series nine's on, I reckon. I do enjoy the trivia, but I'm probably not the only one who's having a rest from Apprentice-ness. Seen a lot of tasks over the last few years. Started with series 5 as it first broadcast in 2009, and finally finished series 1 shortly before YA3 aired. Still love the show, but my thirst for tasks is satiated 'til the next batch comes along.

Yeah, fair enough.

And you're the same as me really - I started with Series 5 as well (but I only saw a few episodes), and then I got really into the first series of Junior Apprentice - then I decided to swat up on the past series while I was waiting for the others.

Unlike a few people on here, I don't think The Apprentice format is dead. Lots of people seem to think that Series 8, and the last series of Young Apprentice weren't very good. I concede that Young Apprentice Series 3 was a bit of a fail, but I enjoyed Series 8 as much as normal, and I think if a series lasts as long as this, you can't expect them all to be brilliant. I fully expect it to bounce back this year. I really hope Young Apprentice comes back as well - the BBC still don't seem to have made an official announcement either way.

Well all of them had a 1-0 or 2-0 record as PM looking at it initially. I'll look into it more later.

Today is my last day in UK until 2 June. When I'm abroad, I won't be able to watch the new series as you can't get BBC iPlayer overseas. Of course, that means I'll get a quintuple whammy in one go when I get back which will be fun, but I am going to be avoiding the forums completely in the meantime so I don't get any spoilers - so that's where I am if anyone wonders.

I thought while I'm here, I'd remind people of the latest riddle. Anyone want to think about it some more before I go?

I've just realised that no one ever got the last riddle and I never said what the answer was, so here it is just to clear it up:

Spoiler


People apparently have no motivation for these anymore, so I won't put up any more unless people ask for them. I did mention it before, and someone suggested that I start again when Series 9 was on - which I did, and still there wasn't much interest. I still think of them and I have some great ideas, so if anyone actively wants one, let me know and I'll stick one up - but let me know first. It's disheartening coming up with riddles that no one attempts.

I think I have it, but I don't think James Max, Syed or Helen comply. Is it:
