Saying "plus 8000" felt like a toddler's logic of big number = hard
I thought the same. But I think she was interrupted before giving the full number she intended.
Mike was the only one who seemed to put some thought into his number. Plus 8000, divided by 20, plus 1? Oh, yeah, and the plus one was given after he took the earpiece out to supposedly prevent him from cheating.
I guess this is what you get from comedians. I was a bit surprised Greg didn't make them give Alex more or more complex parts to the equation.
I felt severely let down by that lady there saying +8000. Thats not hard at all, ÷20 is a bit better but it's still not good like we desevered. We needed a ÷372 or something like that.
Yeah, they should have asked "the dirty rat" to pull off a Diffie-Hellman key exchange
She got interrupted for sure.
"take the earpiece out, and then we'll give you the final part of the equation."
"plus 1." 🤦
My reaction exactly.
That was the joke
I think the point was that he didn't have the answer to any of it yet
“The dirty rat” said with such a face of innocence 😂
The hardest part was remembering the number at the start lol
THAT'S NUMBERWANG!!!🎉🎉🎉
I am still training for that, but it is hard remembering all the numbers.
Let’s rotate the board
That's WANGERNUMB!!!!
Some people say NumberWang stopped being good after a few seasons, but if you stick with it until series 483 it really picks back up.
Alex had a really good run on Countdown about 15 years ago. This was before he became famous.
was he showing up caral with the numbers?
@@alickomay7088 I don't believe anyone ever could!
@@alickomay7088 no he couldn't contain her...
I love how the "plus 1" was supposed to catch him out 😅😅. If they've told him the answer up to that point, I think he can add 1 on his own 😂😂
This morning I helped a 6yo breakdown 36+36 into sums she could get and eventually arrive at the correct the answer of 72. When she went and told the person who asked the sum originally and found at it was right she looked at me like I’d done some sort of witchcraft on her.
..."and I don't mean, on this show" 💀 Greg!!!
"a working calculator". School days 😂
Because in the previous episode it was a broken calculator.
God, that's a great mustache.
Lee Mack is good at maths too I believe.
How is Charlotte Ritchie so alluring? How??
She's a real cutie, for sure.
She's painfully lovely, I didn't think there would be a contestant more adorable than Jessica Knappett, but then she did that safety announcement and I was smitten
Yeah, for me she's basically tied with Alice Levine for prettiest contestant so far, but I think her personality puts her even above. She's not in my top 10 contestants because obviously on a show like this you value many other things as well, but she's delightful.
I know her and Alice Levien are just absolutely gorgeous.
Surely he said divide by 20?
I was also confused for a second but realized that he meant 8000/20 first and then add that to 13243
He did. If I enter it into my phone calculator as it was given, I get the same answer given on the show.
@@michaelshrek1199You have to follow the order of operations, so you always multiply before adding regardless of what comes first in the equation.
@@Nimtrixas a professional mathematician, I disagree. It is natural to do the operations in the order that the instructions are given, but given that both people used a calculator without understanding this, it is not surprising that that they agree on the answer (which in my opinion is based on an incorrect interpretation of the question).
@@andrewhone3346so they aren’t wrong, you are 😂
The amount of people in this comment section who are clearly missing the joke here is definitely greater than 13243+8000/20+1.
Its wierd. Although it does prove conclusively that maths removes all humour from minds of those that like it. And to not see how Alex is obviously cheating, and it is in fact the entire point of the joke , then one wonders at general IQ amongst maths people.
i mean that or this is a 30 second clip with very little context and people missed something lol
As a public service announcement: "...we're having 8,000 divided by 20..."
This is clearly verbally grouped. So "correcting" the maths to serialised operations doesn't make you clever it means you don't listen; so if you are really a professional mathematician, computer scientist, etc, it makes you a tedious wobble bottom who can't get a joke who - at best - doesn't pay attention to the problem at hand. Hope your bosses aren't watching or what you're working on isn't terribly important.😂
I think the orange concentrate drink was better
I dont know the third guys name, but i think his input was perceived incorrectly.
13243+8000.
"Divide that (the sum, not the number) by 20." So that's:
(13243+8000)/20 = 1062.5
not
13243+8000÷20 = 13643
@@R__A Alex otherwise did the correct order of operations, but I just feel like he skipped an implied parentheses- or "brackets," since it's the UK.
While I agree with the sentiment, and that this was the underlying implication when the instruction was given, someone did indeed reiterate "We're adding 8000/20" as if to clarify that they were meant to add the quotient instead of divide the entire sum
I did the exact sum as they said it into Windows calc and it is 13644. Because it does 13243+(8000/20)+1. Using PEDMAS method. If you did it one sum at a time you get your answer, but the WHOLE sum is calculated at once with PEDMAS. It all depends when the = sign comes in
@@96thelycan yeah. I know that with proper PEMDAS you get 13644, but when the guy said "divide THAT by 20," I think he meant an implied parentheses for the sum.
@@Charlezard.I gotta say I viewed the emphasis on "that" to indicate that it was the 8000 being divided by 20, not the sum.
"I can do any sum"
"You're doing plus?"
???
He was surprised that she was taking it easy on him. Addition is easier than any other function.
@@AmaraEmme A "sum" defines the result of an addition. Not a subtraction, not a multiplication and not a division. Only an addition.
@@Finsternis..I don't think the British use it quite in that way.
The calculation they went with was not 13 243 + 8000 = x, then x ÷ 20 + 1. They went with 13 243 + (8000 ÷ 20) + 1. So the answer is actually 13 644, not 1063,15
The () aren't necessary
@@romainsavioz5466 True, but it's not like they change the result of the calculation
@@SenpapiTT that's the point
No. 1064
As a professional mathematician, I would say that it is more natural to treat it as a sequence of instructions to be carried out in order, so BODMAS does not apply: you add the first two numbers, then divide their sum by 20, etc. But given that both the person providing the answer and the person checking it are using a calculator, rather than actually interpreting amd carrying out the arithmetic, they both get the same wrong answer!
Hate to be that person but, 13243 + 8000 / 20 +1 is not really a test. Like im sure just about anyone in this comments section could do it quite easily. Its just 8000 halved and take away a zero (which is going to be a nice round number) add that to 13243 (pretty simply, not even a carry or anything) +1 (not hard)
Not that fast though
@@Dormiscereyou can’t add 13243 plus 400 fast? I agree with OP I feel Ike the wool has been pulled over the public’s eyes. Or people in general are far worse at math than I thought
@@redtaileddolphin1875as a math guy, yes people are not good at math. It's crazy to bear witness but it is reality
I mean, the hardest part was literally the first number.
BODMAS has entered the chat.
No cheating there then.... 🙄
thought it was bidmas

Are you using "Indices" instead of "Orders"?
@@angrytedtalks ah yes
It's very telling that most of the depth and nuance that the women of Death Note seem to have is actually fanon. We over-interpret what little we see from these characters, and that's honestly kind of beautiful and weirdly optimistic given what kind of story Death Note is
Thank you for your great review. Honest and informative. ❤
Pi to the power 1000000 - good luck
im confused, on the aired episode, didnt the calculator fail to work?
It failed the first time he tried to do the gag, but he did it the next filming when they had a working calculator.
@@ianhruday9584 ohhhhh thanks!
I didn't understand any of this. Can someone explain why it's been posted? Is it serious? There's obviously no humour here so what is it?
I don’t mean on this show 🤣
1,063.15 is the answer, so he was way off.
I would have asked for pi till he reached a recurrance
If you'd asked for the sqrt of that it might have been hard
3 digit answer. Yeah hard to do in head
This answer only works for written maths. Surely it should actually be 1063.15. Everyone’s gonna scream “BIDMAS” or whatever else you call it. If someone’s giving you instructions verbally you’d just logically do it in the order they’re given.
"Take that and divide it by 20"
"The previous 8000?"
"Yeah"
So assuming we're not doing proper math and just doing what we're told as we go along, you're still wrong because you didn't listen to the instructions.
As long as you can remember the initial number I don't see how this is difficult?
A decimal & fraction would have stumped him
5732.53 x 7/8
It was done on a calculator by the crew and told to him through his second ear piece. Doubt it would’ve made a difference.
Never seen this show but are the two women special? +8000? U mental? How is that hard math? +1? Are you taking the piss?
They are indeed taking the piss. As this is a comedy show. Thanks for catching on.
I feel like your brain functions differently to the average person, because any regular, functional human would be able to tell from the tone of her voice that she was going to say a longer number but got interrupted after "eight thousand". Do you have difficulty recognising facial expressions too?
Everyone clapping? It isn't correct. The answer is 1063.15.
+ 8000/20 = + 400
They didn't do + 8000 = x, x ÷ 20 = y
Is that the woman from Season 4 of you??????
You mean Charlotte Ritchie? Yes.
@@LordHorst cool!
No its Sarah Kendall, Australian actress and comedian.
Sarah Kendall doesn't appear in Season 4 of You, though.@@LouLou-jo5ln
@@LordHorst I dont know about the show, but it's definitely her.
How is no one questioning the answer. It’s actually 1,063.15
... How?
So 13243+400+1.
Doesnt take much of a genius to figure that one out.
The correct answer is 1063.15 wtf is happening here??
I entered it on my phone calculator and got 13, 644. Lack of parentheses causes it to divide 8000 by 20 before adding it to the 13, 243. PEDMAS.
Not explicitly mentioned in the video is that Alex (the guy doing the math in his head) is answering everything the contestants yell out as ONE math problem (as opposed to a series of three separate calculations). Given that, the answer would be 13,644 because of the order of operations.
13243 + (8000 ÷ 20) + 1
But just like you, the first time I watched the clip, I also made an assumption that he was going to solve a quick series of separate / distinct math problems. If you approach the problem as a sequence like that, and then subsequently evaluate each additional operation one at a time, then your answer would be the correct one. 👍
i) 13243 + 8000
ii) 21243 ÷ 20
iii) 1062.15 + 1
@@iansaari7102 Ah I see, it's odd ambiguity but I imagined with maths the logic would be to be the follow the order of commands - so I would've never thought to divide the 8000 by 20 before adding it the 13k initial figure. Thanks for explaining how they got their figure!
As a professional mathematician, I agree that it makes more sense to interpret the question as a sequence of instructions to be carried out in order, but since both people put it straight into a calculator without thinking, they got the result of applying BODMAS rules. However, BODMAS is really a set of rules for interpreting the order of arithmetical operations written on paper, and doesn't apply to oral instructions (unless it is explicitly stated at the start that these rules should be applied).
@@StephenBrennanGuitar thats the problem you're imaging what the logic of maths is. not that hard to find out what bedmas means.
Take a number add another number divide it by 20 thrn add 1 to it. This is supposed yo be amazing😮 are you having a laugh . This is primary school maths
Except you don't do that. You take 8,000, divide it by 20 and then add 13,244 to it. You had the order the wrong way round so clearly you don't even know primary school maths
@@ryanjohnson7757as a mathematician, I would say that the first way of interpreting the question is the more natural one. Unless you specify the order of operations at the start, then either interpretation is valid.
@@ryanjohnson7757 it doesnt make any difference its two numbers added together divided by twenty add one idiot
@andrewhone3346 Fair enough but the fact that he said it's primary school maths and then proceeds to disregard BODMAS, a primary school concept, damages the integrity of his point.
That is genuinely pathetic that a group of adults considers that to be impressive maths.
Stop trolling
@@binsniff I'm not trolling. This is basic maths that a 12 year old should be able to do.
babe we know you failed your maths gcse, you ain't smart tf
@@highestsettings You realise the majority of adults are like this, no? It's extremely common for people outside of school, who don't use maths regularly, to be totally clueless.
@@InquisitorLavellan You shouldn't have to do regularly do maths to quickly do that problem.

It is a very simple question tho. 13243 + 400 + 1 :p
A normal calculator does operations in the order they're entered, not PEMDAS.
@@Alacritous, it must be a scientific calculator.
@@gekothegreekI just entered it on my phone and got the same answer they gave on the show.
@@AlacritousWhat's PEMDAS stand for? I've always heard it called BIDMAS/BODMAS.
Guessing parentheses for P but then I'm stuck! 😅
Oh, Exponents?? And then multiply and divide are reversed?? 👀😱
Feels wrong, me no like! 😅 What country are you from? I'm UK
@@MrQotasMultiply before divide does make sense though, as you also have addition before subtraction.
In truth it doesn't matter, because both pairs are on the same level.
That is the correct answer technically (if not logically because the sum was given one step at a time), but you wouldn't come up with that answer on a desk calculator. Each time an operator is used, a calculation is made ie. it calculates in order, not by BODMAS rules.
