In the first numbers round, I saw Harry's solution and also had this one that was practically as easy: 100 + 10 + 10 = 120 5 - 1 = 4 120 x 4 = 480 480 - 9 = 471 And the same thing from the other direction: 100 - 10 - 10 = 80 5 + 1 = 6 80 x 6 = 480 480 - 9 = 471 In the second round, I _didn't_ spot Harry's solution because there were so many ways to go at it merely by factoring (13 x 3 x 2^2 = 156) that I didn't concentrate on any others: 9 + 9 = 18 18 - 5 = 13 8 + 4 = 12 13 x 12 = 156 9 + 4 = 13 9 + 8 = 17 17 - 5 = 12 13 x 12 = 156 9 x 4 = 36 36 - 10 = 26 9 + 5 = 14 14 - 8 = 6 26 x 6 = 156 8 x 5 = 40 9 / 9 = 1 40 - 1 = 39 39 x 4 = 156 In the third round, I saw both contestants' solutions and also had these from factoring (7 x 2^7 = 896): 25 + 3 = 28 9 - 1 = 8 6 - 2 = 4 28 x 8 x 4 = 896 25 + 3 = 28 9 + 6 + 1 = 16 28 x 16 x 2 = 896 6 - 1 = 5 25 x 5 = 125 125 + 3 = 128 9 - 2 = 7 128 x 7 = 896 In the final numbers round, I saw Harry's solution, but I also had these: 25 x 5 = 125 125 + 50 = 175 75 x 8 = 600 600 / 100 = 6 175 - 6 = 169 50 + 8 = 58 75 / 25 = 3 58 x 3 = 174 174 - 5 = 169 And if you want to do a fancy solution that goes up into four digits, you can do a couple of those: 50 + 5 = 55 75 x 55 = 4125 4125 + 100 = 4225 4225 / 25 = 169 100 - 8 = 92 92 x 50 = 4600 75 x 5 = 375 4600 - 375 = 4225 4225 / 25 = 169 The logic behind these solutions is that when divided by 25, 50 is 2, 75 is 3, and 100 is 4, so in the first solution it reduces to (50 + 5) x 3 + 4 = 169 and in the second it reduces to (100 - 8) x 2 - 3 x 5 = 169. This is exactly why I like the four-large solution out of all of the numbers selections. It permits greater creativity for someone who has mastered its techniques. Six-small, the more popular "difficult" solution, involves nothing but factoring.
Having worked in television, you get used to it after awhiile, each year. The first few days always seems a bit off, but then it just becomes another work day, with a different theme.

@syntaxlost9239 that is true. I saw primary children do their Christmas concert a couple of days ago and they had to learn 6 songs with no words. But I'd probably get the lyrics wrong even they're written down if I was on TV
Colin and Rachael make the environment really fun and relaxed for the contestants to enjoy the game even if they don’t win.
In the first numbers round, I saw Harry's solution and also had this one that was practically as easy:
100 + 10 + 10 = 120
5 - 1 = 4
120 x 4 = 480
480 - 9 = 471
And the same thing from the other direction:
100 - 10 - 10 = 80
5 + 1 = 6
80 x 6 = 480
480 - 9 = 471
In the second round, I _didn't_ spot Harry's solution because there were so many ways to go at it merely by factoring (13 x 3 x 2^2 = 156) that I didn't concentrate on any others:
9 + 9 = 18
18 - 5 = 13
8 + 4 = 12
13 x 12 = 156
9 + 4 = 13
9 + 8 = 17
17 - 5 = 12
13 x 12 = 156
9 x 4 = 36
36 - 10 = 26
9 + 5 = 14
14 - 8 = 6
26 x 6 = 156
8 x 5 = 40
9 / 9 = 1
40 - 1 = 39
39 x 4 = 156
In the third round, I saw both contestants' solutions and also had these from factoring (7 x 2^7 = 896):
25 + 3 = 28
9 - 1 = 8
6 - 2 = 4
28 x 8 x 4 = 896
25 + 3 = 28
9 + 6 + 1 = 16
28 x 16 x 2 = 896
6 - 1 = 5
25 x 5 = 125
125 + 3 = 128
9 - 2 = 7
128 x 7 = 896
In the final numbers round, I saw Harry's solution, but I also had these:
25 x 5 = 125
125 + 50 = 175
75 x 8 = 600
600 / 100 = 6
175 - 6 = 169
50 + 8 = 58
75 / 25 = 3
58 x 3 = 174
174 - 5 = 169
And if you want to do a fancy solution that goes up into four digits, you can do a couple of those:
50 + 5 = 55
75 x 55 = 4125
4125 + 100 = 4225
4225 / 25 = 169
100 - 8 = 92
92 x 50 = 4600
75 x 5 = 375
4600 - 375 = 4225
4225 / 25 = 169
The logic behind these solutions is that when divided by 25, 50 is 2, 75 is 3, and 100 is 4, so in the first solution it reduces to (50 + 5) x 3 + 4 = 169 and in the second it reduces to (100 - 8) x 2 - 3 x 5 = 169.
This is exactly why I like the four-large solution out of all of the numbers selections. It permits greater creativity for someone who has mastered its techniques. Six-small, the more popular "difficult" solution, involves nothing but factoring.

1:00 The moment when Paul realised he really should've had this one
100 × 5 - (10 + 10 + 9) = 0 (straight in)
10 × (9 + 8) - 4 × 5 + 9 = +3 (could have maybe gotten it, but no)
25 × 9 × (3 + 1) - (6 - 2) = 0 (almost didn't notice it, but it works out pretty well)
100 + 75 - (8 - 50 ÷ 25) = 0 (I mean, if you don't see it...)

I wonder if it's weird for them doing all this Christmas stuff months in advance.

Does anyone know when this was filmed? Or like roughly?

Gorgeous singers. But why do they need to read the words?!
Probably a bit nervous and don't want to mess up the take.

I thought it was just traditionally sung while reading, probs wrong
