Countdown Game Show - Number Rounds (20 September 2023) 

To get 612 as a multiple of 6 as Colin suggested: 9 * 10 = 90 3 * 4 = 12 90 + 12 = 102 102 * 6 = 612

I manage to find most ones within the thirty seconds but can't help pausing the video !

Glad you’re making these again 👍🏻

In the first numbers round, I saw Paul's solution and also had these solutions: 50 + 5 = 55 10 - 3 - 1 = 6 55 x 6 = 330 330 + 9 = 339 5 + 1 = 6 10 x 6 = 60 60 + 50 = 110 110 x 3 = 330 330 + 9 = 339 5 - 3 = 2 50 / 2 = 25 25 + 9 = 34 34 x 10 = 340 340 - 1 = 339 In the second round, I again saw Paul's solution but also had these: 75 x 2 = 150 150 / 3 = 50 50 + 5 + 1 = 56 56 x 7 = 392 75 - 7 = 68 68 x 2 = 136 136 - 5 = 131 131 x 3 = 393 393 - 1 = 392 In the third round, I was surprised that neither contestant got this solution: 10 x 9 = 90 4 x 3 = 12 90 + 12 = 102 102 x 6 = 612 I also factored like Rachel did for these solutions: 10 x 3 = 30 30 + 6 = 36 4 x 2 = 8 9 + 8 = 17 36 x 17 = 612 10 x 3 = 30 30 + 4 = 34 34 x 9 x 2 = 612 And here I had an alternative method of getting to 68 10 x 6 = 60 4 x 2 = 8 60 + 8 = 68 68 x 9 = 612 With the 10 present and with such a factorizeable number, this six-small was not too difficult. In the final round, I yet again saw Paul's solution, but I also had this solution because I always try to solve low-target 1-large games as "five small": 7 + 6 = 13 13 x 9 = 117 117 + 4 = 121 And I also wanted to do something with the fact that this is a perfect square, and so I found this solution: 75 - 9 = 66 66 / 6 = 11 7 + 4 = 11 11 x 11 = 121

5:10 she went about it so much more difficult than it needed to be, her minds insane 😂😂 9x6+4+3 =61 *10 =610 +2 =612

Glad you're back Bjoern!

For the first round I did: 10-1-3=6 50+5=55 55*6=330 330+9 =339 For the second round I did like the challenger: 75*5=375 7*2=15 375+14+3=392 For the third round I did: 9*6=54 54+3+4=61 61*10=610 610+2=612 For the last round I did: 7*6=42 75+42+4=121

First one 5 +1 = 6 x 50 = 300 10 X 3 = 30 + 9 = 39 + 300 = 339

For 339 I got: 50+5 = 55 and 9-3 = 6 55*6 = 330 10-1 = 9 330+9 = 339 For 392 I got the same For 612 I got 9 + 4 - 3 = 10 10 * 10 + 2 = 102 102 * 6 = 612 For 121 I got 7 * 6 = 42 75 + 42 + 4 = 121

Am I losing my mind with the first one? 339 5+1=6 6×50=300 3×10=30 30+9=39 339....

1. (1+5)x10+50=110x3+9=339 or (50+5)x(10-1-3)+9=339 or 50/5+1=11x10x3+9=339 2. (75+2)x5+7=392 or 75+(3x7)+3=98x(1+3)=392 or 75/3=25x2+1+5=56x7=392 3. (6x9-2)x3x4=612 or (9x10+3x4)x6=612 or ((6+9)x10+3)x4=612 3. 75+(4x9)+7+9-6=612 4. 75+9+9+(4x7)=121

Thanks!

339: 50 * 5 = 250 10 * 9 = 90 250 + 90 - 1 = 339 5 + 1 = 6 50 * 6 = 300 10 * 3 = 30 300 + 30 + 9 = 339 5 + 1 = 6 10 * 6 = 60 60 + 50 = 110 110 * 3 = 330 330 + 9 = 339 10 * 3 = 30 50 / 5 = 10 10 + 1 = 11 30 * 11 = 330 330 + 9 = 339

First one, 10+1=11, 11x3=33, 50/5=10, 33x10=330, 330+9=339 612= 6x10=60, 60-9=51, 3x4=12, 12x51=612 Last one, 9-4=5, 5x9=45, 7-6=1, 75+45+1=121

612 was really pretty easy for nobody to get too close. Rachel's way was at best the 3rd easiest way to do it. Also could have done: ((10x9)+(4x3))x6 = 612 [this is just 6x102] or ((9x6)+(4+3))x10+2=612 [this is just 61x10+2]

Well done to Paul on today’s show for becoming the 3rd Octochamp of the series!

For 612: 10*6 - 9 = 51 51*4*3 = 612 Otherwise: 9+ 2x4 = 17 6+ 3x10 = 36 17*36=612

612: 9×10 =90. 3x4=12. 90+12=102. 102×6 =612.

340 on the first one, got 392 exactly on the 2nd one, can’t even get close with a 564 on the 3rd, & 125 on the 4th

Blooming heck - really surprised both contestants missed 612 (9 x 6 + 4 + 3) x 10 + 2 Would have worked as well :o

Round 1 (5 + 1) x 50 + (10 x 3) + 9 Round 2 (75 x 5) + (2 x 7) + 3 Round 3 (6 x 9 + 4 + 3) x 10 + 2 Round 4 (9 x 7) + (9 x 6) + 4

for the last round I got: 7*4=28 75+28+9+9=121

It's also easy to get the 612 using 6 rather than 9. 9*10+4*3=102. Times 6 is 612.

121: 9 * 6 = 54 75 + 54 = 129 9 - 7 = 2 4 * 2 = 8 129 - 8 = 121 9 * 4 = 36 75 + 36 = 111 9 + 7 - 6 = 10 111 + 10 = 121 7 * 6 = 42 75 + 42 + 4 = 121 7 + 4 = 11 75 - 9 = 66 66 / 6 = 11 11 * 11 = 121

612: 10 * 3 = 30 30 + 4 = 34 34 * 9 * 2 = 612 10 * 4 = 40 40 - 6 = 34 34 * 9 * 2 = 612 10 * 2 = 20 20 - 3 = 17 17 * 9 * 4 = 612 10 * 9 * 2 = 180 6 * 4 = 24 180 + 24 = 204 204 * 3 = 612

392: 75 * 5 = 375 7 * 2 = 14 375 + 14 + 3 = 392 75 + 2 = 77 77 * 5 = 385 385 + 7 = 392 75 + 3 = 78 78 * 5 = 390 390 + 2 = 392 75 * 2 = 150 150 / 3 = 50 50 + 5 + 1 = 56 56 * 7 = 392

For 339 : 50 / 5 = 10 ; 10 + 1 = 11 ; 11 * 3 = 33 ; 33 * 10 = 330 ; 330 + 9 = 339. For 392 : 2 + 3 = 5 ; 5 + 75 = 80 ; 80 * 5 = 400 ; 400 - 7 = 393 ; 393 - 1 = 392. For 612 : I shit myself. For 121 : Same ...

Flukestab, a lucky stab you get in on someone 🤣

I did the 612 answer slight differently, it was nice and easy: 9 * 6 = 54 54 + 4 + 3 = 61 61 * 10 = 610 610 + 2 = 612 #

7 * 9 = 63 4 * 75 = 300 9 - 6 = 3 63 + 300 = 363 363 / 3 = 121

339: I Went 50*5=250.... 9*10=90.... 250+90=340 - 1 =339

Did I win?

612 6 x 9 = 54 54 + 4 + 3 = 61 61 x 10 = 610 610 + 2 = 612

Do we have to use all the numbers? Because I can get 392 on the second one without using the 7 or the 1 75,2,3,5,7,1 75+3=78 78*5=390 390+2=392 7 and 1 not used

392=5×(75+3+2)-7-1

612 (4+6)×10=100 100+2=102 102×(9-3)=612

612. 6*9=54-3=51. 10+2=12*51=612

392. 55+3=78*5=390+2=392

50-10-3 = 37 37*9=333 333+5+1=339

121 alternative 9 x (6 + 7) + 4

339=9×(50-10-3)+5+1

The host is soooooo boring

612=2+10×(9×6+4+3)
