Countdown Game Show - Number Rounds (12 May 2022)

[@robinnes2662]

Anne really does have the personality of a tea towel. I know Countdown isn’t know for it’s barrel of laughs approach but God knows what the powers that be were thinking making her host.

[@bobomb1986]

She's a woman, simple as. Equality, etc.

[@annsmith9196]

She seems to speak in one word sentences?

[@squareeyes9540]

And Nick Hewer was what, a lion tamer?

[@trondmm]

@@squareeyes9540 I think it's quite an accomplishement to be duller than Nick in this role.

[@elliott4106]

It’s painful. At least Whiteley had A BIT of life about him…

[@bobomb1986]

Happy to see Colin Murray taking the permanent hosting role. When he deputized, he really looked as if he took to the show and cared about the contestants and the game without wanting to take the game over. He will do well.

First round 9x7=63 9-5=4 63x4=252 Easy peasy. Second round with all the numbers 9x(4-1)=27 27-(3-1)=25x25-625 Third round with all the numbers 9x(2+3)=45 45x1450 450+(4x10)=490

[@EvilSnowVO]

Is it just me or does Rachel's dress look like a Wetherspoons plate? xD

[@medusa_404]

490: 4 * 10 = 40 40 + 9 = 49 49 * 10 = 490 9 - 2 = 7 10 - 3 = 7 7 * 7 = 49 49 * 10 = 490

[@dcnole]

781=(8x(100-2))-4+(7/7)

[@IsaacKing2006]

625: 9 - 3 = 6 6 x 4 = 24 24 + 1 = 25 25 x 25 = 625

[@rodrigomarinho1807]

Second one using all 25*(9*3 - 4/(1+1))

[@rodrigomarinho1807]

First round using all (9+9)*(7+5+8-6)

[@cactusjack5423]

God is this regular Countdown? It's so boring without the comedy. We need Jimmy and Jon and Lee Mack back. We need Carrot in a Box

[@Emilio1985]

It is just a straightforward quiz show, yes. Very different audience appeal.

[@trondmm]

It wouldn't hurt if they updated the show, and took it out of the seventies. I find the French version of the show much more interesting (and I don't understand a word they're saying :) ) kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJqkoapvltKnfs0

[@IsaacKing2006]

490: 4 x 10 = 40 40 + 9 = 49 49 x 10 = 490

[@MrEnginemount]

28 x 9... easy 25 x 25... easy 49 x 10... easy 110 x 7 +7+4... easy

[@isaacking6305]

625 9 x 3 = 27 27 - 1 - 1 = 25 25 x 25 = 625

[@rodrigomarinho1807]

Third one just for fun (3-2)*(10*4+9)*10

[@daviddesreumaux338]

625 9-1=8×3=24+1=25×25=625

[@IsaacKing2006]

781: 100 - 2 = 98 98 x 8 = 784 7 - 4 = 3 784 - 3 = 781

Boring without Jimmy

[@Nullifidian]

In the first round, a few more solutions were: 8 x 5 = 40 9 - 7 = 2 40 + 2 = 42 42 x 6 = 252 9 x 5 = 45 45 - 9 = 36 36 x 7 = 252 8 + 5 = 13 13 - 9 = 4 9 x 7 x 4 = 252 In the second round, two other ways of getting the 25 were: 4 + 1 = 5 9 - 3 - 1 = 5 5 x 5 = 25 25 x 25 = 625 9 - 1 = 8 8 x 3 = 24 24 + 1 = 25 25 x 25 = 625 And I also had this solution: 25 - 1 - 1 = 23 23 x 9 x 3 = 621 621 + 4 = 625 In the third round, I saw both contestants' solutions and also had this one: 9 + 3 = 12 12 x 4 = 48 48 x 10 = 480 480 + 10 = 490 In the fourth round, I saw Brian's solution, but also had this one: 100 + 7 + 4 = 111 111 x 7 = 777 8 / 2 = 4 777 + 4 = 781

[@seanjosephhayes]

1st round you can also do 6 x 8 = 48 9 / 9 = 1 48 + 1 = 49 49 x 5 = 245 245 + 7 = 252

[@scotthadden9816]

In the final round, you could also do 8 x 100= 800 4 x 7= 28 28 - 7= 21 21 - 2= 19 800 - 19= 781

[@crossrider91]

Had another for the final round: 8 x 100 = 800 7 x (7 - 4) = 21 21 - 2 = 19 800 - 19 = 781

[@eljefe3864]

I got 9-4 =5 5x25= 125 3+1+1=5 125x5=625 Really was a straightforward round

[@einSteppenwolf]

490=10×(4×10+9)

[@einSteppenwolf]

490=(9-2)×(3+4)×10

[@ricksimon9867]

I am sorry, but her swollen state is merely emphasised by her grandma dresses.

[@MrJacksparrow07]

Wow Anne Robinson was awful on this. Amazing on weakest link but the wrong choice for countdown

[@snap-n-shoot]

Rachel has filled out a bit....

[@leelid4376]

Yeh giving birth does that

[@einSteppenwolf]

625=25×((9+1)×3-4-1)

[@einSteppenwolf]

625=25×(3+1+1)×(9-4)

[@einSteppenwolf]

625=25×((3+1)×4+9)

[@IsaacKing2006]

625: 9 x 3 = 27 1 + 1 = 2 27 - 2 = 25 25 x 25 = 625
