Countdown numbers game Rachel Riley intervenes after both contestants miss easy target

[@duytdl]

Commenters intervene after a KZbinr uploads a falsely titled video

[@Ron-d2s]

I saw a video posted a few weeks ago saying that strawberry Nesquik uses cancer causing dye and we have to boycott the entire company to switch over to beet extract to do the dye. I checked the cupboard and my pink quik has beet extract....... maybe some things are not always accurate on the internet

[@JLP777]

Probably made to intentionally ( My solution ((10+7-8)*100)+3-2 )

[@hughbiggins4339]

I hate these stupid incorrectly titled videos. It's bordering on clickbait

[@shiro1744]

Easiest way is probably using 7+3-1 to get the 9, which leaves the 10 and the 8 left to get the 2.

[@philipbyrnes7501]

Yes, that’s the solution that they put on the screen

[@Diamonddavej]

7 + 3 = 10 ; 10 - 1 = 9 ; 100 - 9 = 91 ; 91 * 10 = 910 ; 910 - 8 = 902 7 + 3 = 10 ; 10 - 1 = 9 ; 100 * 9 = 900 ; 900 - 8 = 892 ; 892 + 10 = 902 7 + 3 = 10 ; 10 - 1 = 9 ; 100 * 9 = 900 ; 900 + 10 = 910 ; 910 - 8 = 902 7 + 3 = 10 ; 10 - 1 = 9 ; 100 * 9 = 900 ; 10 - 8 = 2 ; 900 + 2 = 902 7 + 3 = 10 ; 10 - 1 = 9 ; 10 - 8 = 2 ; 100 * 9 = 900 ; 900 + 2 = 902 7+ 3 = 10 ; 10 - 1 = 9 ; 100 - 9 = 91 ; 91 * 10 = 910 ; 910 - 8 = 902 7 + 3 = 10 ; 10 - 1 = 9 ; 100 * 9 = 900 ; 900 + 10 = 910 ; 910 - 8 = 902 7 + 3 = 10 ; 10 - 1 = 9 ; 100 * 9 = 900 ; 900 - 8 = 892 ; 892 + 10 = 902 7 + 3 = 10 ; 10 - 1 = 9 ; 100 * 9 = 900 ; 10 - 8 = 2 ; 900 + 2 = 902 7 + 3 = 10 ; 10 - 1 = 9 ; 10 - 8 = 2 ; 100 * 9 = 900 ; 900 + 2 = 902

[@antzooma]

what do you mean probably ? that is the solution lol

[@anthonybailey1966]

@antzooma It is A solution,not THE solution!

[@stoobydoo74]

​​@@antzooma10 - 1 multiplied by 100 = 900 then 7+3 - 8 = 2 then add the 900 = 902 so is this THE solution?

[@NetRoaming]

You can also do: 100 + 10 = 110 110 * 8 = 880 (7 * 3) + 1 = 22 880 + 22 = 902

First numbers game 7 + 3 - 1 = 9 9 x 100 = 900 10 - 8 = 2 900 + 2 = 902

[@Merciless_James]

Rachel said 3-1 = 2, but like the contestants she already used the 1. As Dave already said, she didn't explain how to get another 1

[@Bob_the_Jedi]

8-7=1 isn’t it obvious?

[@Merciless_James]

@@Bob_the_Jedi It may be "obvious" to some, but it doesn't fit the rules of the game - if a contestant offered that as an answer they wouldn't get the points

[@AD270479]

@@Bob_the_Jedi Yes it is obvious, but the rules are you still need to explain how you get it regardless of how obvious it is. Tbh, how to get to the correct answer was pretty obv, yet they still screwed that up.

[@Bob_the_Jedi]

I see your point but the contestant did make it clear where they obtained the extra 1 from. I certainly agree it could have been made clearer.

[@RogerJJSmith]

@@Bob_the_Jedi I don't think it was clear where the contestant got the extra 1 from. The contestant said just before the end of this clip: "3 minus 1 is the 2". That's doesn't explain where the contestant got the extra 1 from.

[@paulkenney-xl3kx]

8 plus one is 9 ...... that's as far as I got

[@Nullifidian]

The numbers in this round were particularly good for this solution based on factoring (41 x 11 x 2 = 902): 100 - 10 - 7 - 1 = 82 8 + 3 = 11 82 x 11 = 902

[@AutPen38]

Yeah, it's an easy one if you know your forty-one times table.

[@Diamonddavej]

There's 345 different combinations to reach 902 with those numbers.

[@jasonyoung7705]

Took me about 15 seconds to do (100x(10-1)) + (8 / (7-3)) = 902. Video paused at 19 seconds. Lets see what happens.

[@AutPen38]

Nice. I wasn't as quick and I got the 2 by doing 3-(8-7).

[@toogoodforyou8603]

​@@AutPen38I wasn't as quick either. I did 7-(8-3)=2

[@smithpm81]

[@JeSuisRene]

100*(10-1)+(3+7-8)

[@wschmrdr]

At first I thought 8+1, but then saw the 10-1. Then used 7+3-8.

[@jamesbrothers7017]

Rachael Riley got this wrong as well , when she said 3 minus one is two and just add it on to the 900 well that's impossible. Because at the beginning of that sum it's 10 minus one equals nine ,,,, so the one was already used ,,, unbelievable

[@JoeGrohlDJ]

Yes, but as Trudy said at 1:02, 8 - 7 = 1, which you can then take from the 3.

[@jirhoud]

maybe rewatch the clip… because it’s almost as though the person who was educated, became a mathematician and worked their way up the field and onto national/international television knows what they’re doing.

[@AutPen38]

What Rachel said and wrote down was kind of the same mistake as the contestant. She should have said 3+7-8 or 3-(8-7), but she wrote down 3-1, as the 1 is obviously what 8-7 equals.

[@ericzubyk2329]

I was only 1 away from the target number.

[@Chris-dm1je]

I wasn't watching properly and was 90 out.

[@MrAudymurphy]

Wait I did this which just seems easy. 10 - 8 = 2. 2 + 7 = 9 9 x 100 = 900 3 - 1 = 2 900 + 2= 902

[@AutPen38]

10-8+7 is an interesting way of getting to 9 when you can do 10-1 or 8+2, although his latter choice makes the problem unsolvable with the remaining numbers.

[@AutPen38]

That should say 10-1 or 8+1.

[@marsbars1105]

I wouldn't say that was easy. Unless im missing something, easiest way I could think of in 30 seconds was (100 + 10) * 8 + (7 * 3) + 1

[@evanwhite7898]

Trudy could have just got 901 and Richard could have just got 903 instead so that there would be no problem with either of them and neither would have used the 1 twice.

[@njerzynek]

It's a bit trickier than it first appears, because if you create 9 the wrong way, making a 2 with what's left is impossble or at least very difficult.

I agree with OP. I wasted 20 seconds by starting with 8+1 to make the 9, and was then unable to get the 2 from the remainder. When I went for 10-1 at the start instead, it was trivial.

Before the answer is given here .. here is my answer 10 - 1 = 9 100 x 9 = 900 100 + 3 = 103 and then 8 - 7 = 1 and subtract that 1 from 103 to get 102

[@smartgenes1]

What?

[@owenjnelson-fb9mg]

10-8 is 2 … 7+3-1 =9 … 9 x 100 = 900 and add the 2. Surely?! Took me 20 seconds to type that and 2 seconds to solve it.

I think you mean easy for absolutely everyone, since both contestants DID get it right, however because they failed to specify that they got the new 1 from doing 8-7 it did not count, that happened because of just how easy the maths was
