BACKGROUND
Countdown is the channel’s longest running show and the first show ever broadcast on Channel 4 when it launched 40 years ago, in November 1982. The original version of Channel 4's Countdown is the French television programme « Des chiffres et des lettres » (literally "numbers and letters"), where the Numbers Round is referred to as « Le compte est bon » ("the total is right"). The show debuted in 1965 as « Le mot le plus long » using letters only, and reached its present format in 1972. This year marks the shows 51st anniversary.

SPIN-OFF
"8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown" is hosted by Jimmy Carr, with Rachel Riley and Susie Dent assuming their Countdown roles. The formation of the crossover with "8 Out if 10 Cats" began as a series of specials, the first of which was broadcast on 2 January 2012, when Channel 4 orchestrated a special "mash-up night", merging two shows to form a special edition of the pair, as part of its 30th-anniversary celebrations eleven years ago.

To think that 3 of the number rounds were impossible goes to show how brutal the numbers of been (except the third one).

@cwn89015 Год назад

You wonder if there ever was a time when they were all impossible? Probably not since they expanded the numbers games to 4, but if it was 2 or three, that would be curious to know.

@gangstertopo Год назад

One of the recent prior episodes had some easy numbers games

@user-jd1wp5pq3q 10 месяцев назад

I CAN REMEMBER IT HAPPENING TWICE WITH. CAROL VODERMAN AND RICHARD WHITELEY WHEN, MULTIPLYING ALL OF THE NUMBERS, THE TOTAL WAS NOWHERE NEAR THE TARGET. FOR EXAMPLE, 5,3,2,2,3,2, with a target of 475, and by multiplying 5*3*2*2*3*2=360, as you can see it's well short of the target.

@jamesrobert994 Год назад

For the first numbers game I did 50*25=1250+75+1=1326/2=663 which is 4 away but as Rachel pointed out it was impossible.

@IsaacKing2006 Год назад

As was the second and the fourth except the best was 1 away for both.

@easternbrown Год назад

It's actually surprising that neither of them got this solution for 663, it's quite a common approach when there is a 2 and 50*25 is the first thing you would look at to try to reach double the target

@joe_z 3 месяца назад

The 667 looked like the kind of thing you ought to be able to trickshot by dividing 2001 by 3 or 50025 by 75, but you can only get 5025 which gives you 67, not 667. If one of the numbers had been a 10, you would have been able to do: 10 * 50 * 100 = 50,000 50,000 + 25 = 50,025 50,025 ÷ 75 = 667

In the first numbers round, the way to get to 663 is: 50 x 25 = 1250 1250 + 75 + 1 = 1326 1326 / 2 = 663 As a dedicated four-large player against the computer, I knew 663 was as close as it could get because I've had the equivalent target with that selection before. In the second numbers round, I saw both contestants' solution for 844 and also had one of my own: 9 + 5 = 14 7 - 1 = 6 14 x 10 x 6 = 840 840 + 4 = 844 The third numbers round was depressingly easy for a four-large game, and I saw both contestants' solutions before the clock started, so I spent the 30 seconds challenging myself to find solutions that would go into the 10,000s: 50 x 9 = 450 450 - 100 = 350 25 + 5 = 30 350 x 30 = 10500 10500 / 75 = 140 25 x 9 = 225 225 - 50 = 175 75 + 5 = 80 175 x 80 = 14000 14000 / 100 = 140 If I were on the show, I'd have probably played the latter solution, leading with 75 + 5 = 80 as my first step, just to mess with Rachel's expectations since she would have been anticipating 75 - 5 = 70. The logic of the first solution is that 350 is 25 x 14 and 30 is 10 x 3, while 75 is 25 x 3. Therefore, the 25 cancels out leaving 14 and the 3 cancels out leaving 10 for 14 x 10. The second one is the same kind of solution, except this time 100 = 25 x 4. So the 25 cancels out leaving 7 (25 x 7 = 175) and the 4 cancels out leaving 20 (20 x 4 = 80) for 20 x 7 = 140. In the final numbers round, I saw the contestants' solution, but also had these two solutions: 50 + 25 = 75 75 / 75 = 1 100 - 1 = 99 10 - 3 = 7 99 x 7 = 693 100 + 50 = 150 150 / 25 = 6 75 - 6 = 69 69 x 10 = 690 690 + 3 = 693 I racked my brain for a trick way to arrive at 693, but there was nothing there.

@medusa_404 Год назад

140: 75 - 5 = 70 100 / 50 = 2 70 * 2 = 140 75 / 5 = 15 100 + 25 + 15 = 140 50 / 5 = 10 10 * 9 = 90 75 - 25 = 50 90 + 50 = 140

@cwn89015 Год назад

140: 25x9=225, 225-100=125, 75/5=15, 125+15=140.

@easternbrown Год назад

140=75/15+25+100 Or 9*(75+50)=1125 1125/25=45 45-5=40 40+100=140

@Jothamvvw Год назад

I got to 693 with the following: 75-50=25 25/25=1 100-1=99 10-3=7 99*7=693

1. (100-75)x25+50-1-2=672 2. 7x(9-1)x(5+10)+4=844 3. 100+25+75/5=140 4. (100-(75/(25+50)))x(10-3)=693

Almost didn't recognize Colin Murray, I thought he would be as young looking as he was in MOTD 2, 10 years ago. That's considering Mark Chapman still looks the same imo.

692 is possible from 50 75 100 25 10 3: ((25+3)/50) +10)*75 - 100 = 42 + 750 - 100 = 692 (Sorry Rachel)

@woodywoodpecker1984 10 месяцев назад

While this is correct for the answer, the rules in the gameshow read as follows "Division can only be performed if the result has no remainder (i.e., the divisor is a factor of the dividend). Fractions are not allowed." Since 28/50 is a fraction not a whole integer, it would be ruled out for that purpose
