In the first numbers round, there was a _much_ simpler solution if you know (as I'm sure Rachel does) your 125 times tables: 10 x 8 = 80 9 x 5 = 45 80 + 45 = 125 125 x 7 = 875 875 - 1 = 874 In the second numbers round, since the video doesn't come back to Rachel, I'll assume she didn't get the answer. There is one, and it's actually not that hard to discover: 75 / 25 = 3 100 - 3 = 97 97 x 9 = 873 50 / 5 = 10 873 - 10 = 863 There were tons of ways of doing the third numbers round. Just to show you how productive the numbers are, here's one alternative: 75 x 10 = 750 50 / 5 = 10 10 x 8 = 80 750 + 80 + 4 = 834 Given how productive the numbers were, it seems ungrateful to cavil, but if the 75 had been a 100, there was the possibility of doing something with the fact that 834 is so close to 5000 / 6 (as well as 2500 / 3, of course). This hypothetical round would go as follows: 100 x 50 = 5000 5000 + 4 = 5004 10 / 5 = 2 8 - 2 = 6 5004 / 6 = 834 In the final numbers round, to make it a bit more difficult I always try to solve it without the large number if there's a sufficiently low target in a one-large game. That gave me this solution: 8 + 3 = 11 11 x 7 = 77 77 - 4 = 73 73 x 2 = 146
One word says it all: WOW!
👍
Is she the best looking woman on tv...yeah I think so!

Pardon my language but... damn.
