[@lilab27]

i don’t think they’d joke about it so much if he wasn’t tbh

[@kedabro1957]

I think its his OCD that earns him the permavirgin image. Excessive concern with petty details is a common trait of nerdy young boys. Everyone else outgrew that phase. Jon never did. And as much they like Jon in the end, everyone has also had a boss like Jon in their past. And they know if Jon was their boss he would enforce his neurosis on them like a religious despot of old. So there's a bit of resentment directed at him as well.

[@suazcollectibles]

Some of the best acting I have ever seen!

[@elibright1]

The first time they played it he did amazingly because he convinced Jon that he doesn't even understand the game. But after that I think the chance just goes to 50/50 because Sean is so good at bluffing that you just have to guess whether he is or not.

[@Tubeite]

Sean also promises not to spit on you when putting his carrot in your box.

[@rhysnunnerley9418]

One of my favourite moments is when Jon says "If you want a job squaring and cubing things, go work in a fucking jelly factory mate" and for a moment, nobody reacted, but then Rob let's out an intoxicating laugh and saves the joke. Without Rob it would have been blown over, so really we should thank him for how funny it was 😂

@Victor Murat I don't understand why that's cheating. I got the same answer and thought it was legit... why is cubing not allowed?

[@Quellan00]

@@cnelsonlv999 You could maybe argue that squaring is within the spirit of the rules, but cubing takes in two numbers and produces three. In this case Richard used a 10 and 3 to get 3 10s that were then multiplied together.

[@cnelsonlv999]

@@Quellan00 Well, he was using the numbers on the board. 10 and 3 were on the board. If the rules say you can't use squares and cubes, then those are the rules, but in terms of the "spirit of the game," there should be nothing wrong with using powers.

[@markwalker3600]

squaring the five is essentially 5 * 5 however there was only one five on the board so its taking advantage of a loophole that countdown typically wouldn't allow

[@bartomiejkumor9375]

@@cnelsonlv999 Because when the integer is positive (so always in Countdown) exponentation correspondends to multiplication. 5^2 is just 5*5, 5^3 is just 5*5*5, 5^4 is just 5*5*5*5, etc. so unless a contestant had multiple 5s on board it's illegal. When you write down "10^3" you're not using any threes in a mathematical equation, it's just a way of writing down "10*10*10" in a simpler way.

He balances it so well that honest to god if he was just 5 inches taller, no man would stand a chance. I really wanted them to be together after the first few episodes. They really compliment each-other well, Jon's odd humour and Rachel's 'why not' jokes just makes countdown really fun to watch.
