+Tracey Mills, while I know the typical norm for the Countdown audience is only to politely applaud, I have to wonder, when Nick announced that Dylan broke the record, was the response that followed from the audience by any chance a bit more enthusiastic than usual? Because I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case.
For me I think the most impressive bit is watching him with the conundrums. The speed at which he can rearrange the letters and form the word is absolutely phenomenal
He averaged over his 15 appearances 120.3 per game, his high score was 129 & his low score was 108, and he was a very talented player to not score above 130.
Funnily enough, despite most people having more intrepidation with the numbers on this show (or any version of it), it isn't Dylan's ability with the numbers that is truly amazing... it's the words that he comes up with that is extraordinary!
Clearly a photographic memory, but I wonder if he's able to memorise meanings of words too. What an incredible gift that would be, to have the dictionary at your recall, any time.
Very intelligent young man. I think many might fear him due to his high intelligence. Others could be very intrigued by him. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 It will be upto the idevidual to decide on his high degree of being a SMART ARSE!!!!!😁😁😁😁😁
I'm in America, so I wouldn't know.. But is there an episode where he's playing against, Jon Richardson? If not, shouldn't there be? it would be awesome to watch those two go head to head in this game.
Not necessarily. Jon played on 8 out of 10 cats does Countdown, which is a comedy spin off of this, the actual show: Countdown. Jon is good enough, but he does it all in the capacity of a comedy actor/panelist. He also isn't the sort of person that wants/needs to go on game shows like this, and even if he did, he honestly isnt up to the standards of the best players in actual Countdown. As for the other way around, him being on 8oo10cdc, there has been crossover of some pros going on the show for an episode or segment, but this guy gets stressed out with social pressures and stuff, plus i believe he's autistic so he wouldn't do so well on a comedy show, which is built around innuendo, sarcasm and subtle facial expressions (autistic people generally believed to share a common inability to "read" social cues or understand anything but the more literal interpretations of what is said to them - some can, but many cannot) And then theres the matter of time. I don't know when these episodes were made, but Jon doesnt do 8oo10cdc anymore, so it would have to have been during a specific window and i guess it didn't pan out to be a thing in the end.
@@TehLiquid nah, says in an article he's unable to get a job and go to uni bc of autism and the problems surrounding social interaction (at least he didn't a few years ago)
I'm honestly fogged as to why the first four large numbers game was included (100 25 75 50 9 6 ---> 717). Wouldn't it have been more impressive if he had gotten the answer correct? It's not as if 718 is the best solution possible. In fact, there's an easy way to 717. 100 / 25 = 4 75 + 4 = 79 79 x 9 = 711 711 + 6 = 717 The second four large (75 25 50 100 6 4 --> 942) isn't much more impressive, though at least he gets the correct solution. But all he's doing is multiplying 150 by 6 for 900 and 7 by 6 for 42. Distributing in numbers through addition or subtraction prior to multiplication is basic mathematics. There's nothing about this solution that is in any way surprising or extraordinary when considered in the context of a four large game. It would have been more impressive if he had seen that one could apply the 937.5 trick to solve it, but he didn't. For any person who doesn't know what the 937.5 trick is, it's based on the fact that 25 x 50 x 75 / 100 = 937.5. Therefore, 75 x 50 / 4 [100 / 25] and 75 x 25 / 2 [100 / 50] both equal 937.5. If you can use the small numbers to get to some interim target that is a multiple of 2 or 4 over the target number, you can use the large numbers to get back to your target. The reason why this would have been more impressive is that there's another aspect of the 937.5 trick: multiplying 50 by 25 first, then multiplying by 75 and dividing by 100 to reach the target. It's not often useful because the target has to be a multiple of three and you can only go up or down by multiples of four (since the ratio between 75 and 100 is 3 : 4), but it does apply to this instance, as follows: 50 x 25 = 1250 1250 + 6 = 1256 1256 x 75 = 94200 94200 / 100 = 942
You saw high functioning autism. And no, i am not trolling. And no, it's not really a blessing. It's not necessarily a curse either but in 99% of cases it is a curse.

I haven’t even read all of the letters in the conundrum and he’s already rearranged them into the correct word. Mind blown 🤯
amazing! just a shame the volume isn't louder

An absolute joy to watch.
He is a talented individual. I wish him well for the future.

Its actually Joe Wilkinson, if you didn't know.
