What the heck happened? How on 839 did they not add the second 6???? They could have been one closer... My favorite solution for that one uses all the numbers in the order they are on the board: (75+6)*10 + (5*6) -1
If either of them would have gone for 837 then they'd have been the only one scoring that round and it wouldn't have gone down to the final conundrum. Weird.
Also did 839 diff. to Rachel (sort of): I really like this one cause it uses the board left to right: 75 + 6 = 81 81 x 10 = 810 5 x 6 = 30 810 + 30 = 840 840 - 1 = 839
It doesn’t matter how many of the numbers you use as long as you can get to the target. Once there was a target of 700, and two of the numbers on the board were 100 and 7, so it was super easy 😂
507 = (100 + 8/8) x 5 + 50/25 839 = (75 + 6) x 10 + 5 x 6 - 1 877 = 100 x 9 - 25 - 6 + 8 583 first I tried 73 x 8 + something then thought (8 x 10 + 3) x (6 + 1) + 2
I totally agree, 8f I want to do the numbers game I just go to numbers clock. Same thing but different scoring and you can do it with friends or by yourself
@@bazzakrakI went to countdown and sat In the audience in 2016. If there’s one where she says you’ll have to leave it with me, she really does sit there and work it out on a clipboard.

With a little practice, it's not hard to get that fast. Just basic arithmetic and learning some common techniques. This basic stuff is far less impressive than any of the math involved in getting her bachelors degree.
I don't get how she got credit for "877 but not written down". That means she didn't have it when Colin asked her opponent after 30 seconds, but figured it out in the extra seconds before she was asked.
In the first numbers round, I saw Rachel's solution, and I also had this equivalent solution: 50 + 5 = 55 55 x 8 = 440 440 + 100 = 540 540 - 25 - 8 = 507 And I also had this different solution: 8 / 8 = 1 100 + 1 = 101 101 x 5 = 505 50 / 25 = 2 505 + 2 = 507 In the second round, I saw Rachel's solution and I'm betting her other way was the following: 75 - 5 = 70 6 + 6 = 12 70 x 12 = 840 840 - 1 = 839 But it might have been one of the following two: 75 + 6 = 81 81 x 10 = 810 6 x 5 = 30 810 + 30 = 840 840 - 1 = 839 75 x 6 = 450 450 / 5 = 90 90 - 6 = 84 84 x 10 = 840 840 - 1 = 839 In the third numbers round, I saw Sarah's solution and also had a couple of related alternatives: 100 x 9 = 900 8 x 6 = 48 900 - 48 = 852 852 + 25 = 877 100 + 25 = 125 125 - 6 = 119 119 x 8 = 952 952 - 75 = 877 In the final numbers round, I saw Sarah's solution, but also factored for this solution: 8 x 6 = 48 48 + 3 + 2 = 53 10 + 1 = 11 53 x 11 = 583 And I had this solution: 8 + 2 = 10 10 x 10 = 100 100 - 3 = 97 97 x 6 = 582 582 + 1 = 583
A different way of getting 507 for the first one is 8/8=1 100+1=101 101*5=505 50/25=2 and 505+2=507
what r the rules for the game the less equations u use the better?
It doesn’t matter as long as you get the result
@@anuk1311 Get as close to the answer as possible. Use numbers at most once. Only the basic operations of + - / * are allowed.
I did it this way too
@@anuk1311 no judgement on the math, just needs the end result, if same result but different math, they both get the points.
Well done to my sister sarah 😊

Weird.
6:50 - 583 using all of the numbers 2, 8, 10, 3, 6, 1 in order as presented:
2 + 8 = 10 * 10 = 100 - 3 = 97 * 6 = 582 + 1 = 583
507
8/8 = 1
100+1 = 101
101*5 = 505
50/25 = 2
505+2 = 507
That's how I did it.
I think Rachel finds more complicated ways to do things to save face for the contestants where she can.
That's how I reached 507.
Same
I got it the same way
The second one is completely in order to solve it a different way.
75+6=81
81x10=810
5x6=30
810+30=840
840-1=839
Also did 839 diff. to Rachel (sort of):
I really like this one cause it uses the board left to right:
75 + 6 = 81
81 x 10 = 810
5 x 6 = 30
810 + 30 = 840
840 - 1 = 839
507:
8/8 = 1
1 + 100 = 101
101 x 5 = 505
50/25 = 2
505 + 2 = 507
What a comeback!
That is a great comeback, indeed!
For the 839 you could just take away 5 from 75. Times (6+6)= 840, minus 1
For the 507 I went
8/8 = 1
100 + 1 = 101
101 * 5 = 505
50/25 = 2
505 + 2 = 507
That was exciting. So happy for her
Rachel was very generous on that first one
Great win!
8*6=48
48+2+3=53
10+1=11
53*11=583
for 839 i did
75+6 = 81
81*10 = 810
5*6 = 30
810+30 = 840
840-1 = 839
And if you write it as a single expression, you'll get the numbers in the same order as they are on the board.
That 839 was infuriating, they both did +6+5 at the end, when +6+6 would get them two away.
The first one I did 8/8=1, added it to 100 and multiples by 5 for 505, then 50/25=2 and add it on
For the final round:
8+2=10
10*10=100
100-3=97
97*6=582
582+1=583
I like this as the numbers are used in the order shown on the.screen. ((2+8)10-3)6+1
Well done Sarah 🎉
839:
75 - 5 = 70
6 + 6 = 12
70 * 12 = 840
840 - 1 = 839
75 / 5 = 15
15 * 6 = 90
90 - 6 = 84
84 * 10 = 840
840 - 1 = 839
10 * 6 = 60
75 + 60 + 5 = 140
140 * 6 = 840
840 - 1 = 839
On the equation at 5:07 she doesn't use number 75. I'm new to watching this and assumed they have to use all the numbers, but I guess they don't?
They can use all numbers once, but they don't have to use them all. There's no bonus points for how many numbers they use or don't use so...
It doesn’t matter how many of the numbers you use as long as you can get to the target. Once there was a target of 700, and two of the numbers on the board were 100 and 7, so it was super easy 😂
The second one already has the numbers in correct order: (75+6) x 10 + (5x6) - 1
2 + 8 = 10 x 10 = 100 - 3 = 97 x 6 = 582 + 1 = 583
583 6*8=48+2+3=53 10+1=11*53=583

((8/8)+100)x5= 505. (50/25) = 2. 505 +2 = 507
75 - 5 = 70 x (6 + 6) = 840 - 1 = 839. Took embarassingly long.
I went (75+6)x10 = 810. then 5x6-1 for 29, 810+29 = 839. didn't have to jumble them around, was already in that order up on the board.

She has a bachelor in mathematics from Oxford, so I am pretty sure she is pretty good with numbers

That's how I did it too. I was surprised to see it already set up in order!
In the first numbers round, I saw Rachel's solution, and I also had this equivalent solution:
50 + 5 = 55
55 x 8 = 440
440 + 100 = 540
540 - 25 - 8 = 507
And I also had this different solution:
8 / 8 = 1
100 + 1 = 101
101 x 5 = 505
50 / 25 = 2
505 + 2 = 507
In the second round, I saw Rachel's solution and I'm betting her other way was the following:
75 - 5 = 70
6 + 6 = 12
70 x 12 = 840
840 - 1 = 839
But it might have been one of the following two:
75 + 6 = 81
81 x 10 = 810
6 x 5 = 30
810 + 30 = 840
840 - 1 = 839
75 x 6 = 450
450 / 5 = 90
90 - 6 = 84
84 x 10 = 840
840 - 1 = 839
In the third numbers round, I saw Sarah's solution and also had a couple of related alternatives:
100 x 9 = 900
8 x 6 = 48
900 - 48 = 852
852 + 25 = 877
100 + 25 = 125
125 - 6 = 119
119 x 8 = 952
952 - 75 = 877
In the final numbers round, I saw Sarah's solution, but also factored for this solution:
8 x 6 = 48
48 + 3 + 2 = 53
10 + 1 = 11
53 x 11 = 583
And I had this solution:
8 + 2 = 10
10 x 10 = 100
100 - 3 = 97
97 x 6 = 582
582 + 1 = 583
