Hi guys, I'm starting a new channel... so if you would like to show your appreciation for the time I spend editing and uploading these Countdown videos each week, I would ask you to do me a favor and subscribe to www.youtube.com/@SmarterHomesAndGardens which will be about home automation and things like that. YT has some policies about uploading videos longer than 10 minutes that require a certain number of subscribers, etc. Anyway, would appreciate your help in getting the new channel started. Thanks! (...and don't worry I'll keep uploading Countdown on this channel.)
Easier than yesterday, though that's not saying much. One of them still stumped me for a good minute. But I spotted the other three immediately. 275: Lots of options here. 25*8 + 75, 50*4 + 75, 75*4 - 25, 100*4 - 50 - 75, 25*4 + 100 + 75. 837: 100*8 + 25 + 6 + 6 789: I got to 787 fairly easily: 9*75 + 100 + 6*50/25. Also found 791: (100+25)*6 + 50 - 9. But couldn't get closer in time. I did eventually find it, but it took me well past the clock: (100 + 50/25 - 6) * 9 - 75. 648: 100*7 - (25+1)*2, or (100 - 25 - 2 - 1) * 9
1. Just for fun: (8+75/25)x100/4=275 2. 8x100+25+6+6=837 or 8x(100+6/6)+25+4=837 3. 2 away 😭😭: 9x75+100+6x50/25=787 4. 100-25-1-2=72x9=648 or (100x7)-25-9x(1+2)=648
75 × 4 - 25 = 0 (mildly laughing) 100 × 8 + 25 + 6 + 6 = 0 (so much hope, yet still so easy) 100 × 9 - 75 - 25 - 6 = +5 (best I can do here under time pressure) 100 × 7 - (25 + 1) × 2 = 0 (barely sneaking that one in before the clock strikes)

648 =9*(100-25-2-1)
That was the way I did it 😊
648 = 7 x 100 - 25 - (1 + 2) x 9
275:
25 * 8 =200
200 + 75 =275
50 * 4 =200
200 + 75 =275
25 * 8 / 4 =50
100 + 75 + 50 + 50 =275
789:
50 / 25 =2
100 + 2 - 6 =96
96 * 9 =864
864 - 75 =789
837:
100 * 8 =800
800 + 25 + 6 + 6 =837
25 + 6 =31
100 / 4 =25
25 + 6 - 4 =27
31 * 27 =837
100 + 8 =108
108 / 4 =27
25 + 6 =31
31 * 27 =837

275: Lots of options here. 25*8 + 75, 50*4 + 75, 75*4 - 25, 100*4 - 50 - 75, 25*4 + 100 + 75.
837: 100*8 + 25 + 6 + 6
789: I got to 787 fairly easily: 9*75 + 100 + 6*50/25. Also found 791: (100+25)*6 + 50 - 9. But couldn't get closer in time. I did eventually find it, but it took me well past the clock: (100 + 50/25 - 6) * 9 - 75.
648: 100*7 - (25+1)*2, or (100 - 25 - 2 - 1) * 9
(8/4)x25+50+75+100=275
Brett from the movie Alien is quite laconic.
789...
50/25=2
6-2=4
100-4=96
96×9=864
864-75=789
275 in 0.1seconds, so spent the rest of the time going for all 6 numbers:
75*(100/25)-50/(8/4)
I know right, what an abysmal target for someone seeking the challenge of 4 large
1. Just for fun: (8+75/25)x100/4=275
2. 8x100+25+6+6=837 or 8x(100+6/6)+25+4=837
3. 2 away 😭😭: 9x75+100+6x50/25=787
4. 100-25-1-2=72x9=648 or (100x7)-25-9x(1+2)=648
8+4=12
12×25=300
75-50=25
300-25=275
789:
75 - 9 = 66
100 * 66 = 6600
6600 - 25 = 6575
6575 * 6 = 39450
39450 / 50 = 789
75 × 4 - 25 = 0 (mildly laughing)
100 × 8 + 25 + 6 + 6 = 0 (so much hope, yet still so easy)
100 × 9 - 75 - 25 - 6 = +5 (best I can do here under time pressure)
100 × 7 - (25 + 1) × 2 = 0 (barely sneaking that one in before the clock strikes)
Why would anyone think all four big numbers is a good idea?
how tf did she fail 837 😖
648=7×100-2×(25+1)
648=(7-1)×(100+(25-9)/2)
Wow, too easy
Afternoon 🍑
Got another before rachel...
75÷25 = 3+8 = 11X100 = 1,100÷4 = 275
75X4 = 300 100X25 = 2,500-300 = 2,200÷8 = 275
100+8 = 108÷4 = 27 25+6 = 31X27 = 837
6÷6 = 1+100 = 101X8 = 808+25 = 833+4 = 837
50÷25 = 2 6-2 = 4 100-4 - 96X9 = 864-75 = 789
100÷50 = 2X6 = 12+75 = 87X9 = 783+6 = 789
100-25-2-1 = 72X9 = 648
25-9 = 16÷2 = 8+100 = 108 7-1 = 6X108 = 648
648:
100 * 7 =700
25 + 1 =26
26 * 2 =52
700 - 52 =648
100 - 25 - 2 - 1 =72
72 * 9 =648
25 * 9 =225
225 + 100 - 1 =324
324 * 2 =648
I did the 72*9 method for 648.
