Countdown Game Show - Number Rounds (19 September 2024)

696=10×(75-3-3)+10-4

[@TophTheMelonLord]

954 = (10+8) x (50+3)

[@RussellSmith91]

For 696, I did:
75 - 10 + 4 = 69
69 × 10 = 690
690 + 3 + 3 = 696

[@TheTradge]

I did it the same way

[@medusa_404]

696:
75 - 3 - 3 = 69
69 * 10 = 690
690 + 10 - 4 = 696
10 * 10 = 100
3 / 3 = 1
100 + 75 - 1 = 174
174 * 4 = 696
75 * 10 = 750
10 - 4 = 6
6 * 3 * 3 = 54
750 - 54 = 696

[@TemujinReads]

696:
10 x 10 = 100
3 / 3 = 1
100 - 1 + 75 = 174
174 x 4 = 696

[@stismail]

Now that's a creative solution.

[@medusa_404]

954:
8 * 3 = 24
24 - 5 = 19
50 * 19 = 950
950 + 4 = 954
50 - 5 - 4 = 41
41 * 8 = 328
328 - 10 = 318
318 * 3 = 954
50 + 3 = 53
10 + 8 = 18
53 * 18 = 954

[@PlutoTheSecond]

75+5=80
80×6=480
9×10=90
480-90-2=388

[@jhibbitt1]

again i did different. i did 6x5=30. 30+9=39. 39x10=390. 390-2=388.

[@TheTradge]

For 696 you could also have done 75-10+4=69, then x10 for 690 and add the two 3's

[@quizmaster85]

For 388:
75 + 2 = 77
77 × 5 = 385
385 + (9 - 6) = *_388_*

[@einSteppenwolf]

199=2×100-1

[@jhibbitt1]

i did 3+3=6. 75-6=69. 69x10=690. 10-4=6. 690+6=696.

[@medusa_404]

199:
100 * 2 = 200
200 - 1 = 199
5 + 5 + 1 = 11
7 + 2 = 9
11 * 9 = 99
100 + 99 = 199
7 + 2 + 1 = 10
100 * 10 = 1000
1000 - 5 = 995
995 / 5 = 199

[@einSteppenwolf]

388=5×75+10+9-6

[@einSteppenwolf]

388=(9-5)×(75+2×6+10)

[@RussellSmith91]

For 388, I went slightly different after the first step:
75 × 5 = 375
375 + 9 + 6 - 2 = 388

[@einSteppenwolf]

954=(10+3×(8-5))×50+4

[@einSteppenwolf]

954=(10+8)×(50+3)

[@NhanNguyen-vb6sr]

50 × 4 × 5 - 10 × (8 - 3) = -4 (not the best of starts, but still quite decent)
100 × 2 - 1 = 0 (I mean... close your eyes and count to ten?)
75 × 3 × 3 + 10 + 10 = -1 (can't quite figure out the other side in time)
75 × 5 + 10 + 6 ÷ 2 = 0 (nice and clean final one)

[@lai17]

954 couldve been simply (50+3)(10+8)

[@jamese4336]

I got (50+3)*(10+8)=954
(75-10-10+3)*3*4=696
The others were simple

[@crystalaustralia]

I can delete this
75 - 10 - 10 + 3
58 x 12 🎉
Edit for the *

[@jamese4336]

@@crystalaustralia Thanks - that'll teach me to check for typos 🙂

[@crystalaustralia]

@jamese4336 I like the method, though

[@jennywolswinkel8548]

954: (10-3) x 8 + 50 = 106 x (4 + 5) = 954

[@crystalaustralia]

696 = 4 x (10 x 10 + 75 - 3/3)

[@stismail]

696: 75 + 4 - 10 = 69; 69 x 10 = 690 + 3 + 3 = 696

[@emmeeemm]

"Expensive Hugs Day": I think that's just called prostitution?

[@kenchristie9214]

954 (50 + 4) x (8+10) = 954

[@alos1978]

1. (50+3)x(10+8)=954 or (3x8x10-40)x5+4=954
2. Zzzzzzzzzzz 2x100-1=199
3. (75-10+4)x10+3+3=696
4. LNAFP: (5x9-6)x10-2=388 or 75+10+2x6)x(9-5)=388
5. Enslaving

[@stoatystoat174]

it's a shame but Vangelis who wrote Chariots of Fire theme only spells his name with one N

[@TheSpotify95]

Come on, I'm bored now, we need to see contestants stop with the 1 large! Anything else PLEASE...

[@Knappa22]

It’s been the norm for over 40 years!
