Glad to see so many other Taskers in the comments, I bet the view count for this video will have had a massive increase.

There were a couple of eights in the round at 3:00 and I'm a bit surprised Susie missed them both, because they're both to do with language: PROSAIST and PROTASIS. A PROSAIST is, as the word implies, a person who writes prose. PROTASIS is the subordinate clause in a conditional sentence. And at 7:00 , they went for the obscure FIGURANT, but didn't mention the conventional word DRAFTING. In the numbers round, I saw Jeremy's solution, but this round, despite the low numbers and high target, was fairly rich in alternatives. One obvious alternative is to divide by 3: 75 x 4 = 300 300 + 2 + 1 = 303 303 x 3 = 909 You can even multiply 101 by 9: 75 x 4 = 300 300 / 3 = 100 100 + 1 = 101 7 + 2 = 9 101 x 9 = 909 And you can multiply by 4: 75 x 3 = 225 225 + 2 = 227 227 x 4 = 908 908 + 1 = 909 The one thing you can't do, frustratingly, is multiply by 7, despite the fact that the target is just 1 away from 130 x 7 = 910.

Did you work all that out in 30 seconds?

@Nullifidian 3 года назад

@@smpgeek Yes. That's the challenge, isn't it? It's been years since I did this, but I probably had the first solution before the clock even began ticking because it's so easy to spot, and the first one naturally leads into the second, since they both involve 75 x 4. That left me with the remaining time to come up with the third (and to try and fail to make a solution based on 130 x 7 work).

@@Nullifidian have you ever been on the program as a contestant?

@Nullifidian 3 года назад

@@smpgeek I've thought about it, but I'm not a U. K. resident so it's a bit impractical. I'm not sure what the shooting schedule is and how many episodes they do in a day, but if they only do one a day then I'd have to carve out at least two or three weeks (because I'd also want to get some sightseeing in), and then there's always the possibility that I might do so well that I'd have to come back for the finals. It would be an expensive proposition. But if I ever manage to have the necessary vacation time and the money at the same time, then I'd certainly like to do it.
