+Tracey Mills, while I know the typical norm for the Countdown audience is only to politely applaud, I have to wonder, when Nick announced that Dylan broke the record, was the response that followed from the audience by any chance a bit more enthusiastic than usual? Because I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case.
He averaged over his 15 appearances 120.3 per game, his high score was 129 & his low score was 108, and he was a very talented player to not score above 130.
For me I think the most impressive bit is watching him with the conundrums. The speed at which he can rearrange the letters and form the word is absolutely phenomenal
Funnily enough, despite most people having more intrepidation with the numbers on this show (or any version of it), it isn't Dylan's ability with the numbers that is truly amazing... it's the words that he comes up with that is extraordinary!
Clearly a photographic memory, but I wonder if he's able to memorise meanings of words too. What an incredible gift that would be, to have the dictionary at your recall, any time.
Very intelligent young man. I think many might fear him due to his high intelligence. Others could be very intrigued by him. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 It will be upto the idevidual to decide on his high degree of being a SMART ARSE!!!!!😁😁😁😁😁
@@TehLiquid nah, says in an article he's unable to get a job and go to uni bc of autism and the problems surrounding social interaction (at least he didn't a few years ago)
I don't know if this is his real twitter, but after looking for his wiki after watching this, it doesn't seem he is in the most stable place sadly twitter.com/dylantaylor793?lang=en
I'm in America, so I wouldn't know.. But is there an episode where he's playing against, Jon Richardson? If not, shouldn't there be? it would be awesome to watch those two go head to head in this game.
Not necessarily. Jon played on 8 out of 10 cats does Countdown, which is a comedy spin off of this, the actual show: Countdown. Jon is good enough, but he does it all in the capacity of a comedy actor/panelist. He also isn't the sort of person that wants/needs to go on game shows like this, and even if he did, he honestly isnt up to the standards of the best players in actual Countdown. As for the other way around, him being on 8oo10cdc, there has been crossover of some pros going on the show for an episode or segment, but this guy gets stressed out with social pressures and stuff, plus i believe he's autistic so he wouldn't do so well on a comedy show, which is built around innuendo, sarcasm and subtle facial expressions (autistic people generally believed to share a common inability to "read" social cues or understand anything but the more literal interpretations of what is said to them - some can, but many cannot) And then theres the matter of time. I don't know when these episodes were made, but Jon doesnt do 8oo10cdc anymore, so it would have to have been during a specific window and i guess it didn't pan out to be a thing in the end.
You saw high functioning autism. And no, i am not trolling. And no, it's not really a blessing. It's not necessarily a curse either but in 99% of cases it is a curse.
That was the method Rachel Riley used, and the only reason I know, I was playing Dylan Taylor at the time for C of C 14 and lost but very happy to take part.
I'm honestly fogged as to why the first four large numbers game was included (100 25 75 50 9 6 ---> 717). Wouldn't it have been more impressive if he had gotten the answer correct? It's not as if 718 is the best solution possible. In fact, there's an easy way to 717. 100 / 25 = 4 75 + 4 = 79 79 x 9 = 711 711 + 6 = 717 The second four large (75 25 50 100 6 4 --> 942) isn't much more impressive, though at least he gets the correct solution. But all he's doing is multiplying 150 by 6 for 900 and 7 by 6 for 42. Distributing in numbers through addition or subtraction prior to multiplication is basic mathematics. There's nothing about this solution that is in any way surprising or extraordinary when considered in the context of a four large game. It would have been more impressive if he had seen that one could apply the 937.5 trick to solve it, but he didn't. For any person who doesn't know what the 937.5 trick is, it's based on the fact that 25 x 50 x 75 / 100 = 937.5. Therefore, 75 x 50 / 4 [100 / 25] and 75 x 25 / 2 [100 / 50] both equal 937.5. If you can use the small numbers to get to some interim target that is a multiple of 2 or 4 over the target number, you can use the large numbers to get back to your target. The reason why this would have been more impressive is that there's another aspect of the 937.5 trick: multiplying 50 by 25 first, then multiplying by 75 and dividing by 100 to reach the target. It's not often useful because the target has to be a multiple of three and you can only go up or down by multiples of four (since the ratio between 75 and 100 is 3 : 4), but it does apply to this instance, as follows: 50 x 25 = 1250 1250 + 6 = 1256 1256 x 75 = 94200 94200 / 100 = 942
WOW I love seeing young people knock the older people into oblivion. You're brilliant - but you know that. So seven years on, what you up to? Been back on Countdown?
Watched this since I was 4. My mum told me I wanted to marry Carol Vordermann, lol. Always wanted to take part but don’t think I’d ever be good enough lol. I bet this guy gets a lot of girls that want to marry him.
I bet he doesn't to be honest. He has autism and there's only so many girls that can deal with the condition. As brilliant as his mind is, it's pretty much 100% preoccupied with what he showed off here and other interests like it. Imagine you are a girl that wants a man who can spend quality time with you and have kids etc. You go outside and you see a cute little baby in a stroller and go up to it with Dylan. As you chat with the mother of the baby, Dylan is busy counting the spokes on the wheels and factoring them into the number of buttons on the canopy and rearranging them so they form a harmonic number in his head. As you ask Dylan for his input, he spurts out a very obscure word from the dictionary that he might not even be able to explain the meaning of. Then he starts fiddling with his buttons on his shirt while he pulls the tongue move at 14:05 in the video. Trust me, i know how autistic people act in day to day life. They aren't as good husband material as you might think... Unless the girl in question actually is a perfect match for him. Which of course can happen, but those kinds of girls don't really tend to go chasing guys so it's a matter of chance.
Cadde I know how that feels. It’s why all the girls stay the heck away from me. It’s not my fault I’m like this! The “habits” i would have are all gone now. Trust me, they took ages to get rid of.
