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
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
@@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
@@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 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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
But Rachael dear lol, you say at 1m42s that if at that point you’d used the 3-1 “yeah, you’d have had 10 points” but she would still be using the 1 twice lol. Very rare that you slip girl but that’s one time lol
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.
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
