I love how at the start Richard was saying it was August 1st, Yorkshire Day - as back then and now in 2018 Countdown is recorded months in advance in multiple blocks. Today they record a whole weeks episodes in one day.

Wow Richard was so extremely clever. The conundrum was anchorage and Richard said, "I's that right, I'll ask her (alaska,). I'm on my knees bowing to the man of words. Bravo Richard, one of the best puns on countdown ever.

My solution for 776: 100 + 10 = 110 110 × 7 = 770 The other 7 - 1 = 6 770 + 6 = 776

For 776, I did 100 + 10 + 1 = 111 Multiply that by one of the 7's for 777 8 - 7 = 1 Take that away. Mathematically: 776 = ((100 + 10 + 1) × 7) + 8 - 7

25:36 The century puzzle has no solution. 1+2+…+9=45, which is 55 away from 100. Every time a digit is used a the leftmost digit of a two-digit number, the sum increases by the value of the digit times 9. But the equation 9×n=55 has no integer solutions.

All the comments on this post are far from the goodness of countdown and the great relationship they all had together on and off screen. I'm sad that TV is now only populated with assailed and posers. All innocence is lost in our society.

Replying to an old comment, but I’m just watching this video now :) He said to add up the numbers, which I took to mean no subtraction, so this wouldn’t be a valid solution (unless additive inverses - ie, negatives - are allowed). Was also interested in finding a solution where none of the intermediate answers are used to represent the digits (like the guy here did in his two solutions), and looks like it’s not possible if we restrict ourselves to integers. Sketch of proof: consider any partition of 1-9 into ones and tens places, with each partition adding up to y and x respectively, and then solve the linear equation 10x + y = 100 and x + y = 45 (since 1 to 9 all added together is 45). Solution here is not an integer, which contradicts the fact that each of the partitions’ sums x and y have to be integers.
