Countdown Game Show - Number Rounds (28 September 2023) 

Am I getting smarter or is the game getting easier?

149: 100 + 50 = 150 4 - 3 = 1 150 - 1 = 149 100 + 4 = 104 10 * 3 = 30 104 - 30 = 74 75 + 74 = 149 75 + 50 + 10 = 135 135 / 3 = 45 100 + 45 + 4 = 149

856: 100 * 4 = 400 75 / 25 = 3 400 + 3 = 403 403 * 2 = 806 806 + 50 = 856

621=9×(50+10+7+2)

Had 150 on the first one, 620 on the second one, got 700 exactly on the 3rd one, & 850 on the last one.

621: 50 + 10 + 9 = 69 7 + 2 = 9 69 * 9 = 621 50 * 10 = 500 9 * 7 * 2 = 126 126 - 5 = 121 500 + 121 = 621 10 + 2 = 12 50 * 12 = 600 600 + 9 + 7 + 5 = 621 10 - 2 = 8 8 * 5 = 40 50 + 40 = 90 90 * 7 = 630 630 - 9 = 621

Round 1 100 + 50 - (4 - 3) Round 2 (2 x 50 - 10) x 7 - 9 Round 3 (10 + 6 - 1 - (8 / 8)) x 50 (8 x 8 + 6) x 10 Round 4 ((4 x 100) + (75 / 25)) x 2 + 50

700: 8 + 6 = 14 50 * 14 = 700 8 * 8 = 64 64 + 6 = 70 70 * 10 = 700 8 * 8 = 64 64 + 50 + 1 = 115 115 * 6 = 690 690 + 10 = 700

When it's as easy as 149 it's fun to find the most unnecessarily complicated way to do it: 100/50 = 2 2 x 75 = 150 150-4+3 = 149

Thanks! 👏

856 75/25=3 100×4=400 400+3=403 403×2=806 806+50=856

621 2×50=100 100-10=90 90×7=630 630-9=621 Or 50+10+2+7=69 69×9=621

149=100+50-4+3=100+75-3×10+4

621 = (50+10+9) x (7+2), or 69x9

856=2×(4×100+75/25)+50

700 6+8=14 14×50=700 Or 10-8=2 2×50=100 8-1=7 7×100=700

149 100+50-(4-3)

For 700, I just said 8+6=14*50=700

700=(8+6)×50=10×(8×8+6)=10×(8×8+1)+50=(8-6)×(8-1)×50=(10-8)×(6+1)×50

75-3 = 72X4 = 288+10 = 298X50 = 14,900÷100 = 149 10X3 = 30 100-30 = 70+4 = 74+75 = 149 10÷2 = 5 50X7 = 350-5 = 345X9 = 3,105÷5 = 621 50+10+7+2 = 69X9 = 621 10+6 = 16 8-1 = 7X16 = 112X50 = 5,600÷8 = 700 8+6+1 = 15X8 = 120-50 = 70X10 = 700 75÷25 = 3 100X4 = 400+3 = 403X2 = 806+50 = 856

50 + 10 + 9 = 69 7 + 2 = 9 (69 x 9 = 621)
