BACKGROUND
Countdown is the channel’s longest running show and the first show ever broadcast on Channel 4 when it launched 40 years ago, in November 1982. The original version of Channel 4's Countdown is the French television programme « Des chiffres et des lettres » (literally "numbers and letters"), where the Numbers Round is referred to as « Le compte est bon » ("the total is right"). The show debuted in 1965 as « Le mot le plus long » using letters only, and reached its present format in 1972. This year marks the shows 51st anniversary.

SPIN-OFF
"8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown" is hosted by Jimmy Carr, with Rachel Riley and Susie Dent assuming their Countdown roles. The formation of the crossover with "8 Out if 10 Cats" began as a series of specials, the first of which was broadcast on 2 January 2012, when Channel 4 orchestrated a special "mash-up night", merging two shows to form a special edition of the pair, as part of its 30th-anniversary celebrations eleven years ago.

696=10×(75-3-3)+10-4

[@TophTheMelonLord]

954 = (10+8) x (50+3)

[@TemujinReads]

696: 10 x 10 = 100 3 / 3 = 1 100 - 1 + 75 = 174 174 x 4 = 696

[@einSteppenwolf]

199=2×100-1

[@medusa_404]

199: 100 * 2 = 200 200 - 1 = 199 5 + 5 + 1 = 11 7 + 2 = 9 11 * 9 = 99 100 + 99 = 199 7 + 2 + 1 = 10 100 * 10 = 1000 1000 - 5 = 995 995 / 5 = 199

[@RussellSmith91]

For 696, I did: 75 - 10 + 4 = 69 69 × 10 = 690 690 + 3 + 3 = 696

[@RussellSmith91]

For 388, I went slightly different after the first step: 75 × 5 = 375 375 + 9 + 6 - 2 = 388

[@medusa_404]

954: 8 * 3 = 24 24 - 5 = 19 50 * 19 = 950 950 + 4 = 954 50 - 5 - 4 = 41 41 * 8 = 328 328 - 10 = 318 318 * 3 = 954 50 + 3 = 53 10 + 8 = 18 53 * 18 = 954

[@einSteppenwolf]

388=5×75+10+9-6

[@einSteppenwolf]

388=(9-5)×(75+2×6+10)

[@quizmaster85]

For 388: 75 + 2 = 77 77 × 5 = 385 385 + (9 - 6) = *_388_*

[@medusa_404]

696: 75 - 3 - 3 = 69 69 * 10 = 690 690 + 10 - 4 = 696 10 * 10 = 100 3 / 3 = 1 100 + 75 - 1 = 174 174 * 4 = 696 75 * 10 = 750 10 - 4 = 6 6 * 3 * 3 = 54 750 - 54 = 696

[@jamese4336]

I got (50+3)*(10+8)=954 (75*10-10+3)*3*4=696 The others were simple

[@crystalaustralia]

I can delete this 75 - 10 - 10 + 3 58 x 12 🎉 Edit for the *

[@NhanNguyen-vb6sr]

50 × 4 × 5 - 10 × (8 - 3) = -4 (not the best of starts, but still quite decent) 100 × 2 - 1 = 0 (I mean... close your eyes and count to ten?) 75 × 3 × 3 + 10 + 10 = -1 (can't quite figure out the other side in time) 75 × 5 + 10 + 6 ÷ 2 = 0 (nice and clean final one)

[@jhibbitt1]

again i did different. i did 6x5=30. 30+9=39. 39x10=390. 390-2=388.

[@jhibbitt1]

i did 3+3=6. 75-6=69. 69x10=690. 10-4=6. 690+6=696.

[@einSteppenwolf]

954=(10+3×(8-5))×50+4

[@einSteppenwolf]

954=(10+8)×(50+3)

[@crystalaustralia]

696 = 4 x (10 x 10 + 75 - 3/3)

[@TheSpotify95]
