With yours, I notice that many of them seem to have at least one team to be entirely one gender, but not every task, so that can't be the whole thing.

Does that have anything to do with it?

EDIT: Ah, I think I have it... is it

Yes, that's it!

Are you having any luck with Jack's?

No... I've honestly been thinking about it all day, and I'm having no luck at all.

I'm sure it has something to do with things going on over a number of weeks, because there is no one who was fired really early on, and all the winners bar two are there. Also it is apparently possible for Bianca to be added later... This is hard!

A clue! Bianca is now on the list after yesterday. She wasn't on it before.

A second (bigger) clue is that it is often (But not always) impossible for the first firee to be on the list.

A bigger clue is it's not to do with record and is similar in style to George's last one.

Without having checked through all of them, I think I may have this, just from memory.

Is it

Series 4:

Series 6:

Can I ask if this is a 'record' one?

That's correct George! Though I didn't include the door (otherwise Sharon would have been on it) and Bianca answered the phone last week hence why she's on the list now but not before.

I can't really answer that question, as it sort of is and sort of isn't. It is possible to work it out from Wikipedia, but it is a different sort of one to the ones I have done in the past. Sorry to be cryptic, you'll understand when you get the answer.

OMG I am so bad at these!

On a serious note, I do think these are becoming too difficult. Even me, who knows every episode almost inside out, has no idea!

They are really difficult, but I don't think it's impossible. You know, I got Jack's difficult one (with a couple of clues), rwebster got mine about the people spoken to in the opening boardroom...

I'm happy to do easier ones, but people like me and Jack and you would get them instantly, and there'd be no challenge.

I see your point. I'll see if someone else can figure it out.
