Millions of Brits play this game with a paper and pen and pull their hair out because they can't get the answer. Some people are just good under pressure, I'm not one of them.
I watch with volume low, as ticking clock distracts me too? 😂
the episodes start to get better when we have two players on each team :)
Regular watcher of both countdowns here. Started as a watcher of 8 out of 10 cat does and liked the game aspect of it, so watch the real thing now. I was distinctly average at maths in school, but I do have a knack for quick head maths, so I got the answer with 75x10-100+3=678 and the 50/25 gives you the 2 to take off.
You'll pick up a lot of countdown tricks for the maths and the letters, and once you know you 75 times table up to at least 14x75=1050, that helps a lot too. Also, helps to look in the letters rounds for the likes of iest ing out ish er ient ise iser and so on. I've gotten at least a few 9 letter words using both iest and ing.
The more you play the more your brain develops systems
Yeah.. you start to see patterns in mathematics... it's great craic !!!
more i play, more i drink.
We've grown up with the original countdown from 1982 to the present day. the more you play the easier it gets(ish).
The newer format moves to a team mate and one word round per segment instead of two. This alloys more time for comedy and Susie dents origin of words segment. You guys are such fun to watch, keep doing what your doing.
"alloys"?...spoked or pepperpot? 🙂🤦🤪
The game is only irrelevent if you find it irrelevent. If you enjoy the game that IS part of the fun 🤷♂️. You dont need to skip either.
I don't normally like 8 out of 10 cats does countdown reactions. I like this, because you actually play along.
You seem overly worried about how good you are, don't be. Us Brits have been watching the normal countdown for decades.
Too bad they suck at it lmao
They will get better tho. @@samhilton4173
I love that you play along.
Susie Dent doesn't just have a degree, she's a professional lexicographer and has been on the show doing this for over 30 years. And bear in mind that it's on every day. Her Wikipedia says that she's done over 5000 episodes. The dictionary is just to check the meanings if they're not sure a word is correct. She's not using it to find the words. And there are definitely times where she misses a word that the contestants or even members of the audience get. As for Rachel, she occasionally can't get the answer either and they give her more time and come back to her later in the show.
When Rachel comes back later with the answer, is entirely dependent on Jimmy not having sacked her, as he often threatens😮
Not to mention there are times when there is no way to reach the target number.
Susie Dent has got an MA and a BA..so not sure why you say she hasn't got a degree 🤷🏼
@@MetaFootballTV I didn't.
@@joepiekl Sorry. I misread. I do apologise.
Super cute you both play along…love it 😍🥰👍👏🏻👏🏻👍😆🇬🇧
The plan to skip to Carrot in a Box and then S3 is definitely advised. You'll see how much the show developed and how much more the comedy comes to the fore.
Also you'll notice how your maths develops as you play; you'll figure out little ways to get to the right number that you didn't do before.
Susie is basically the Mike Tyson of words. They have even contacted her in episodes of Taskmaster for clarification of certain phrases. Not to mention around 15-17 books, work with the dictionary and multiple podcasts about words. She’s GOATed.
I love that you actually play the game too, it's so endearing :)
The more of these you watch, the more it makes sense, and you get better.
Love these reactions! I don't usually play along with Cats does Countdown but I am doing with these 😄 I love that Jodi thought you could join numbers together! In maths, that operation's called 'concatenation' and it has its uses so don't listen to anyone calling you dumb for thinking of it 😄 Thanks guys ❤
Just for context, Susie Dent started working on countdown in 1992 and its literally a daily programme. On days where the 8 out of 10 cats version is on, twice a day. The length of the word she gets is only the longest she could in the time, viewers at home do get bigger words, it isn't the official longest you could have got. Its obviously similar with Rachel Riley with numbers. Daily/twice daily shows means they literally live it!
There are 3 carrot in a box segments (IIRC). The first two were with Sean Lock and Jon Richardson. After Sean passed, the third was with Lee Mack and Jon. They need to be watched in order.
Yes it is vital you get the order right
There was also a Naked Attraction special they did, along the same lines. I'll leave it to your imagination what they substituted for the carrot.
@@JamesLMason Hehe...
Take as much time as you guys need on the problems. This is like the best combination of watching the old shows again and seeing something new on top of it.
Hi Jodi and Nick. You do have a point that degree level study of maths and English does not involve learning how to play the Countdown games. At most, you might expect that people who *can* play these games might be inclined to choose those subjects to study if they went to university. Great review as usual.
I'm sure you've been told before, but this '8 out of 10' version of Countdown is a late night comedy version of the standard daily quiz which has been on TV every weekday since the mid-80's. It's VERY popular in the UK! it still has Rachel & Suzy on it, but the contestants are regular members of the public. Most contestants though are REALLY good, scoring 8 & 9 letter words quite regularly. You should really find the standard Countdown show on RUclips.
Absolutely fantastic! Thanks guys!
I had worked it all out, but the dog ate my homework.
Actually I was munching food whilst watching this, cannot wait for more!
(food and future eps, that is!)
I have read (and I'd not be surprised if it's true) that Suzie Dent (Dictionary Corner) has some form of help. either a) an earpiece where she can be told the best answer, or b) a screen on / in her desk where the best answer can be displayed. The best answer can of course be found quickly using an online app. I'm NOT saying that she's not very smart, which she is, but it would be humanly impossible to come up with the absolutely best answer every time. Rachel, on the other hand, is a case of "what you see is what you get". There will very occasionally be a set of numbers where she can't come up with the correct answer. If that's the case she will get mercilessly torn apart by Jimmy.
There is a computer search. Taking a set of letters and finding matching words in a list is a trivial program that can search the whole oxford dictionary and provide matches in milliseconds on any computing device. Anyone who works in programming should be able to come up with the code to do that in a couple of hours.
The more you play your mind gets quicker against the clock. Great vids
That maths was impossible for a normal human. Picking 4 big numbers is something only a lunatic would do
The reason i like watching you is because your reactions are genuine and you give honest opinions, don't change ❤
Susie Dent has a BA in modern languages from Oxford.
She has a Masters Degree in German from Princeton.
She has published sixteen books about language.
You didn't know 'ware' was a word.
Good luck with your astrophysics!🤣😂🤣
An MA from Oxford is not just a degree, in the same way a masters in a subject from
Harvard isn’t. Although remember UK degrees are specialised, you only study that subject, absolutely nothing else. Every bit of reading, every bit of study and research, every lecture is on that subject.
The point of highlighting that isn’t to say why they’re good but because many outside the UK assume they’re just presenters with no other knowledge or ability
I got the last one but I've been playing this game since the late '80s and you learn little tricks.
As the series progressed they had two members per team and more crazy distractions whilst the contestants are working out the answers.
You’re so defensive 😂🤣
Relax and enjoy the game. 👍
Loving these !, Play along if you want too.. Two taps on the keyboard or screen for those who wanna skipe you sharing your finds
I've never failed to get the numbers when possible but i absolutely suck with getting words
Rachael may have a degree, but she loved math as a kid too so it's a talent she just rolled with in life.
The normal version of this show, which is screened much earlier in the day, has members of the public as contestants. It's a serious show and has some real big-brained egg-heads playing (the type that you wouldn't want to sit next to at a party 😂) This is just for fun and you are missing a lot of the funny antics by playing along.
On the normal version aren’t the big numbers not multiples of 25? I saw one episode like that and it made my head hurt. 😩🤣
Great Reaction both❤️❤️Jodi, the circle of words works better if you make the circle bigger and let your brain bring the letters into the circle to make the word👍🏽Nick, I get what your saying about them having a talent as well as an education, I agree👍🏽👌🏽keep em comin
Nick is spot on, I suck at maths and science outside of flying planes. It's all done for me at work where it's all done for us and we do routine. Don't expect a history teacher to recite the 13th Dynasty of China when they've studied the pygmy wars of Sumatra.
Us Brits have been playing g Countdown for 40 something years. Don't worry, you will definitely get better. It's just a bit of fun.
Rachel is especially talented at this, more so than most math degree holders
A typical episode is witty banter, then 2 letters rounds and a numbers round, then the same again.
In furure episodes Sean and John have partners.
The only person who might have any luck with this game, is someone with a Degree in working within 30 seconds! lol
Rachel is the type of person that takes a math problem to park on a sunny day.
"Join numbers together!!?? LOL
i was amazed by that as well
You'll both get better and better at as time goes by 💯
Better than a circle is to leave the letters scattered around so that you don't get a pattern, that way it's easier to find words, because if there's a pattern, it will always catch your eye and prime you to the letter sequence of that pattern (hence why a circle is not great either).
My partner used to hate maths, after watching all of cats does countdown she got a lot better. You pick up a few tips and tricks along the way and start figuring out little shortcuts.
She always demolished me on the letters round, but she gets a few of the numbers faster now too
Suzie Dent the lexicographer actually contributes to writing the dictionary. She is not just someone that is good at anagrams. The real show has been about since the 80's as well ( not sure how long the two ladies have been involved but they have been doing this for many years.
I write my letters in a circle and for me personally I find that it helps. Also if you do a lot of crosswords and other types of word games it helps your brain be more agile around random letters. I don't know if you learnt the times tables in America (or multiplication tables), but we learnt them up to 10 when I was at school (over 50 years ago). Rachel knows much higher tables (like the 75 times table) so she can get starting numbers very quickly. In this one she probably knew that 13x52 was the right answer so she just had to see how she could get to 13 and 52.
She even gets most of the conundrums, )the last round of countdown ) when sometimes none of the contestants manage to get it
This show gets better when it moves to two people per team
Nick, don't worry about the numbers. On the standalone "Countdown" programme, frequently there are contestants with mathematics degrees, even maths teachers who struggle with the numbers. Only quite recently a contestant who was head of mathematics at a school was a complete apparent numbskull when it came to the numbers rounds - and I'm talking about answers where the target number was very easily reached with the given numbers. But she was just unable to see it. She stayed on for a few progs as the "champion," but that was based largely on her wordsmith abilities. On her last programme (when she was beaten) she finally managed to "get" a numbers round correctly.
keep on doing it as the stress will get easier , i had the same problem when i started and got better as it goes along.
I don't think people were complaining, I just think they implying on how smart suzie and Rachel are
Susie Dent is a lexicographer and has been on the show for 30 plus years, Rachel Riley has been on the show for 15 years I think so I think your muscle memory on solving these challenges will be easier for them.
Yeah, pointing out their qualifications isn't an attack on you or the American people lol
We've watched the proper show for years , Susie used to be one of several representatives of the Oxford English dictionary ( the full 20+ volume version being the prize at the end of each series) and eventually joined the show full time . Rachael is so good you believe her if she says it can't be done . It's nice if you get a word or number the contestants don't but it's awesome to watch the best ones . The 8/10 Cats version is far more about comedy , although this is early and it may even be the audience was from normal Countdown as it's the same set and toned down . Carrot in a box is classic .
Geez, it's only a game! Lighten up.
Rachel has a masters degree from Oxford in mathematics,covering quantum theory,fluid mechanics and applied mathematics.
good stuff guys! as always
It's funnier when they had two teams of two.
That comes in later series
You will find that the more games you play the better you will get. You may not get to Suzie or Rachel's level, but you may get to Jon's.
Numbers game 1: I panicked and in the last couple of seconds got 10+6=16 then 16x25= 400... My brain was trying to get 8 for 8x50 but it wouldn't cooperate... I hate maths!
Letters: I got "Pequod" stuck in my head and proper nouns dont count... (Pequod, Is the name of Ahabs ship in "Moby Dick").
Yeah the banter matters. But there is a history they develop and jokes that only make sense if you've seen previous episodes sometimes.
With the numbers the only time Rachel Riley will not get the total is if it cannot be done, she really is that good.
The later series become comical with more members being incorporated into into each team.
As well as the circle method you could try grouping the consonants together in different variations and look to fill the vowels in where needed.
Nick has that look in his eye that every red blooded male has when Rachael comes on the screen, full doe eyed.❤😂
You’re right about the skills/degrees/intelligence etc, I’m great at English but cannot do word games. One does not follow the other.
Also maths super nerds can’t always do the maths game. It’s a party trick, not genius, just the way your brain’s wired.
Sorry but the 676 took me 20 seconds, but the trick is to recognise that the numbers can be divided to produce a number for use in + or - activity. Rachel is very quick recognising number links, and that is a capability which even great Mathematicians can not display.
factorising, though there are other methods too
People generally only do math degrees in the UK if they have a natural very high aptitude for mathematics. She would still be able to do the numbers game even if she hadn't gone to university. It's only mental arithmetic - not proving theorems.
Did you know, in real life Joe and Rachael are best friends? ❤️🇬🇧
I've heard that a lot of the contestants actually write down their times tables before the start. There's nothing in the rules that states that you can't. So, having the 75, 125 and 175 times tables in front of you would be very helpful.
Countdown is awesome, it's so good for your mental agility, don't worry you'll get quicker. 👍🏻
You are missing the point. She was hired as a mathematical genius as was Carol before her.
2 American teachers, that explains a lot
Have you two got a PO box? I need to send Nick a British booster seat!
Also, a tip for the numbers is to start with the target number and Take away rather than adding up. It helps sometimes.
I think it's more the case that Rachel was gifted at mathematics which allowed her to accomplish her degree rather than the other way around. Not sure what was commented on in previous videos but that's probably what they meant.
Thanks. I agree
As long as you say math and not maths you’ll never be able to speak English 😂😂😂
Ok now im know you're actual imposters- no way I believe you're all teachers now. I believe you all went to clown school though 😂
Try and find the episodes with Adam Buxton. His humour is all internet based. Very funny.
It helps if you know the 13x table. Basically look at the last two digits of 678. So, 78 its factors are 13 and 6 the factors of the remaining 600 are 100 and 6. So, if you can find a way to make 113 (100+13) then just multiply by 6. I say this purely as advice. I’m crap at the numbers round. I just know how to do it, but I’m way too slow. Give me five minutes.
Please don't beat yourselfs up... it's a learning curve, it' gets better the more you play!!
I'm also an English teacher, and I'm rubbish at this game too. Anagrams are nothing to do with English, really. But I find that looking for prefixes and suffixes in the letter selection is the best way to get long words.
As a computer programmer and data analyst I'm great at math theory and solving mathematical problems using computers. I'm God-awful, however, at mental arithmetic which many people find odd as they always assume I will be brilliant at the numbers game
Before Rachel Riley, it was Carol Vorderman. She retired / quit from the show. Rachel was the new girl which I wasn’t sure about, but she never disappointed
She’s a mathematic genius like carol , and she’s also likeable and has charisma. After carol it was big shoes to fill, but she’s done it brilliantly. She’s now almost a legend of the show in her own right.
Obviously you know this a comedy / satire version of the actual countdown. ( weekdays on channel 4)
Cats does countdown certainly wouldn't have worked with Vorderman. Riley is some kind of superwoman, beautiful, very intelligent and able in many things, quick witted, funny and willing to be the butt of a joke too. There has to be something wrong with her, though. Yeah, she's married... Nobody's perfect.
@@drcl7429 chill son.
I failed everything, everytime in the maths section
Lmao, "you didnt have a class on countdown in your major"??
Normal ppl all got the same as you. She is nothing short of a mathematical genius
I'm terrible at the game but I love the show
I got 675 as well. In a numbers round, if neither contestant gets to the exact number then it's the player who gets the closest to it that 'wins' the round, although I don't recall if they still score the points for that or not. So 1 off isn't too bad as it's as close as you can get to it without actually getting it.
10+6=16x25=400
Did it the same way 👍
The number rounds don't always add up. Remember, both the number choices and the number viewer are unknown and random.
You should look up "Countdown - The Most Extraordinary Numbers Game Ever?" on youtube.
dont worry the more you play games like this the easier they get.
I admire that as teachers you put yourself out there but I expected better :)
You got POWER but missed POWDER
How do you think they'd get on watching jack dee with his deadpan humor
Is Jodi sat on a cushion 😂😂😂
I’ve only ever seen Rachel not get the maths answer once.
and when she didnt get one right the guest footballer matt le tissier got it right
The more you do them the better you get at it .. just like anything else I guess!
I am 100% a dyslexic so the numbers are the things I do get the right answer for.. most of the time, but the words are like "How the hell does that word exist amongst those random letters" the best I can do is a four letter word.
Might be worth casually playing along in your head as you’re missing a lot of the comedy
You'll love the "Poetry rounds" in later shows
Hell Mr RUclips user...on your way to make a RUclips comment...
