Surely the easiest four numbers games in a single programme. Rachel will be embarrassed to collect her fee.
I'm embarrassed to say I only got three of them before the clock started.
1:10 "lot's of pressure on this one" . Traduction : "damn, these contestant are bad"
yes the pressure must have been strong on her because from that performance you wouldnt guess she won 8 games comfortably and most with 100+ points
251 I did 6-(7/7)=5, 50X5=250, and then 10-9=1 and added it on
TEASE!!!! I get the notice that I have to WAIT an hour!!!!!!!!
Thanks...

775:
100*8=800
800-25=775
8/4=2
9-2=7
100*7=700
700+50+25=775
50+25=75
75*9=675
675+100=775
Embarrassingly I never got the second one lol! As a countdown veteran I feel ashamed 😂
I missed an easy one yesterday... it happens👍
I missed the last one. Goodness knows how.
I did 152 by doing 75 + 1 and then 50/25 to make a 2, and multiplying them. Very easy set of 4 this time around.
All that uploading (thank you, Bjoern) and all the numbers done in seconds...
Still working on that conundrum, though 😊
I want to be a contestant and get an easy one just so I can take a dramatic drink of water
I think they should be able to press the button again to make it harder for the playoffs. 😂 I don't think I ever needed the clock to start.
50×10 = 500
9-7 =2
500/2 =250
7-6 =1
250+1 =251
Apart from the 251, which I failed to spot, all of the numbers rounds were so easy that, as Rachel said, deserved a re-press!
1. (75+1)x50/25=152 or (75+1)x100/50=152
2. (6x50)-(7x7)=251 or (6+10-9)x50+7/7=251
3. 5x100+2x7=514 or 5x100+10+8/2=514

6:03 - A Jimmy Carr shoutout! Is CatsDoesCountdown still a thing, or has that show run its course? Asking for a Yank...
It's more popular than the original of either, 8oo10c and Countdown.
The new series of 8 Out of Ten Cats Does Countdown starts in January!
@@PH4RX Trouble is, it is expensive to make with all the guest stars and stunts.
@@ramruma6330 It's Fabio's wardrobe that costs the most!

(75+1)*100/50
50/(9-7)*10+1
75/25 = 3 then 100 + 50 = 150 - 1
(75+1)x(50/25) or (75+1)x(100/50) = 152
50x10/(9-7) + (7-6) or (50-7)x6 - 7 or 50x6 - 7x7 = 251
5x100 + 2x7 = 514
8x100 - 25 or (100+50)x(9-4) + 25
Is it just me or are these way easier than normal...
100 + 50 + 75 ÷ 25 - 1 = 0 (easy start here)
50 × (6 - 7 ÷ 7) + 10 - 9 = 0 (still easy so far)
100 × 5 + 7 × 2 = 0 (surely it gets harder?)
(100 + 50) × (9 - 4) + 25 = 0 (welp, that was easier than expected)
Whenever I see Rachel standing off to the side looking up I think she must be reading the solution to the numbers from a screen. I know its not true.
251:
50*6=300
7*7=49
300-49=251
9+6-10=5
50*5=250
7/7=1
250+1=251
50-7=43
43*6=258
258-7=251
What is that sound at 4:03 ??! 😅
75+1=76 ,50/25=2 76×2=152
152:
75/25=3
100+50+3-1=152
75+1=76
76*100/50=152
100*25=2 500
75+50=125
2 500/125=20
20-1=19
19*8=152
For 251:
10 × (50 ÷ (9 -7)) = 250
250 + (7 - 6) = *_251_*
251
10 / (9-7) = 5
50 * 5 = 250
250 + (7-6) = 251
"Jimmy Carr lets me push the button again." Not if Joe Wilkinson has anything to say about it.
It would have been great if he had solved all 3 or 4 of the skipped ones as well, glad he got it in the end though.
152=100+50+75/25-1
152=8×(100/((75+50)/25)-1)
152=100/50×(75+1)=50/25×(75+1)
775=8×100-25
251=(9+6-10)×50+7/7
I admit I have no idea what it's like to even be a contestant, let alone a participant in the finals, but I was shocked that anyone would miss such an easy problem in the first numbers round, and I can only think it must be nerves.
75 + 1 = 76
50 / 25 = 2 (or 100 / 50 = 2)
76 x 2 = 152'
However, there were more complex solutions available.
75 - 1 = 74
74 x 50 = 3700
3700 + 100 = 3800
3800 / 25 = 152
75 x 7 = 525
525 - 50 = 475
475 x 8 = 3800
3800 / 25 = 152
25 + 1 = 26
75 x 26 = 1950
1950 - 50 = 1900
1900 x 8 = 15200
15200 / 100 = 152
In the second round, I saw both contestants' solution but I was expecting at least one of them to offer this:
9 - 7 = 2
10 / 2 = 5
50 x 5 = 250
7 - 6 = 1
250 + 1 = 251
I also had these solutions:
50 x 7 = 350
7 - 6 = 1
10 + 1 = 11
11 x 9 = 99
350 - 99 = 251
10 x 7 = 70
70 - 50 = 20
7 + 6 = 13
20 x 13 = 260
260 - 9 = 251
In the third numbers round, I saw both contestants' solutions and also had this one using all of the numbers (my next trick if I can't solve a 1-large as a "five-small", omitting the large number):
100 + 5 = 105
105 x 10 = 1050
1050 - 8 = 1042
1042 / 2 = 521
521 - 7 = 514
And another variant on the same idea:
100 x 10 = 1000
1000 + 7 + 5 = 1012
1012 / 2 = 506
506 + 8 = 514
And you could also do this variation that is basically what the contestant did:
10 x 8 x 5 = 400
400 + 100 = 500
7 x 2 = 14
500 + 14 = 514
In the final numbers round, another solution that's equally as easy is:
50 + 25 = 75
75 x 9 = 675
675 + 100 = 775
I also had these solutions:
50 / 25 = 2
100 - 2 = 98
98 x 8 = 784
784 - 9 = 775
25 - 9 = 16
100 x 16 = 1600
1600 - 50 = 1550
8 / 4 = 2
1550 / 2 = 775
50 + 25 = 75
75 - 9 - 4 = 62
100 x 62 = 6200
6200 / 8 = 775
Got UNDERFELT at the four second mark, which left me feeling pretty pleased, since this is a finals-level conundrum.
