104 is a double deck of cards. (10+3) x 8. (50x6+8)x2 + (8+7) = 631. Just in the nick of time, and it was Rachel's way. Not as interesting as she hoped. 100+75+50 - 9/9. Surprised they both did it the exact same way. Could also use 10-9 as a 1, and could also do (75-50)x9 - (10-9) 75x8 - (100/50 + 1) or 75x8 - (100/25 - 1) or 75x8 - (50/25 + 1).
Can't believe nobody spotted or acknowledged that the first numbers round you could have just added all the numbers up, only the second time I've ever seen that happen. And I got the conundrum in 5 seconds
Wild how the 3-large and 4-large were both simple but one of the 1-large was brutal. That doesn't happen often. 104: 75 + 10*3 - (6+2)/8, or (10*6 - 8) * 2 631: Tough one with only one odd number. Spent a lot of time looking for various ways to hit 624 (52*12, 104*6, 78*8) and add the 7, but no luck. Best I found was (50 + 8*7) * 6 - 8 + 2 for 630, and even that was after time. 224: 100 + 75 + 50 - 9/9 (or (10-9)); thought this one was going to be nightmarish when I saw the numbers, but the target was a lucky one. 597: 75*8 - 100/50 - 1, or 75*8 - 50/25 - 1, or 75*8 - 100/25 + 1

That's not the first time it has happened, I've seen the target of 253 achieved this way as it was the 4 large numbers, and a 2 and 1 for the others. One of the players actually realized it too.
Add all the numbers together in the first one
Or 10 x 2 is 20 add the 6 the 3 and the 75
That's only the second time I've seen the answer be the sum of all of the numbers.
Can't believe Rachel didn't acknowledge that
When I saw her give that look when the 75 came out I added the numbers straight away.
@@TPC11011 It’s just 8(10+3), though.
In the first one I just added all the numbers together and got 104! 😄
Oh my gosh! 😲
104 factorial seems high
I just multiplied 8 by 13.

Ooh we missed Susie's birthday I think 🎉 🎂
Writing this before seeing their attempts or Rachel’s solution: 2(50x6 + 8) + 8 + 7 = 631.
Nice to have it the same way as her. :-)
Writing this before they’ve declared: 9(75-50) + 9 - 10 = 224.
It never crosses my mind to just add the large numbers together.
In the first numbers round, I saw both contestants' solutions and also had these from factoring (13 x 2^3 = 104):
10 + 3 = 13
13 x 8 = 104
75 - 10 = 65
65 x 8 = 520
3 + 2 = 5
520 / 5 = 104
And this alternative way of getting 29:
8 x 6 = 48
48 + 10 = 58
58 / 2 = 29
75 + 29 = 104
In the second numbers round, I saw Rachel's solution and also had these:
50 + 8 = 58
6 / 2 = 3
8 + 3 = 11
58 x 11 = 638
638 - 7 = 631
50 - 8 = 42
42 x 2 = 84
84 - 6 = 78
78 x 8 = 624
624 + 7 = 631
8 + 6 = 14
14 x 2 = 28
50 + 28 = 78
78 x 8 = 624
624 + 7 = 631
In the third numbers round, I saw the contestants' solution and also had these equally easy methods:
75 - 50 = 25
25 x 9 = 225
10 - 9 = 1
225 - 1 = 224
10 x 9 = 90
90 + 75 + 50 + 9 = 224
Only this one, based on factoring (7 x 2^5 = 224) took a little thought - and not that much:
100 - 75 - 9 = 16
50 / 10 = 5
9 + 5 = 14
16 x 14 = 224
In the final numbers round, I saw Fiona's solution (and the equivalents 75 x 8 - 100 / 50 - 1 and 75 x 8 + 1 - 100 / 25), but you could have some more fun with it in these ways:
100 + 75 = 175
175 x 25 = 4375
4375 + 1 = 4376
4376 / 8 = 547
547 + 50 = 597
100 x 50 = 5000
5000 - 25 = 4975
8 + 1 = 9
4975 x 9 = 44775
44775 / 75 = 597
Got the conundrum at about 3 seconds.
The first numbers round, you could have just added them all up
@@TheTradge Of course, but that's boring.
224:
75+9=84,
100+50=150,
150+84=234,
234-10=224.
Got the conundrum in 15 seconds but spent the other 15 seconds wondering I was wrong because it was an A after the L instead.
75 + 10 + 8 + 2 + 3 + 6 = 0 (this might be the first time this has happened. Just straight summing)
(50 + 7 + 6) × (2 + 8) = -1 (not seeing a good way to get the last part)
100 + 50 + 75 - 9 ÷ 9 = 0 (it hopes to be difficult, but it's not, sadly)
(75 - 1) × 8 + (100 + 50) ÷ 25 = +1 (not sure how to get the last part, again)
I always love it when we can add all the numbers together, but completely missed that on this occasion. 8 * (10+3) was my way.
That's not the first time it has happened, I've seen the target of 253 achieved this way as it was the 4 large numbers, and a 2 and 1 for the others. One of the players actually realized it too.
For 104 I just did (10 + 3) x 8 = 104
104:
10*2=20

I thought the conundrum was aoristile. But then I stopped, and its in the past.
224=100+75+50-9/9
104=75+3×8+10/2=8×(10+3)
104=10×(8+3)-6
104=(6-2)×(3×8+2)
104=75+3×10-8/(6+2)
631 = (50 x 6 + 8) x 2 + 8 + 7
104 = (75+3)*8 /6

She's 42 years late for that - the champion of the first ever series of the show in 1982 was a woman, Joyce Cansfield.
