FUN FACT: Ian would return to Countdown during Series 82 in 2020. He qualified as the number 4 seed, won his quarter final, but lost his semifinal to Series 82 winner Luke Johnson-Davies
Ian Volante has appeared on both the William G. Stewart and Sandi Toksvig eras of 15 to 1 AND recently on Only Connect with another former Countdown contestant: Innis Carson! Carson appeared in the 30th Birthday Championship in 2013. I think Ian's quizzing experience did the job there, Bradley.
The first numbers round was easy 9 + 3 = 12 75 + 12 = 87 8 - 7 = 1 9 + 1 = 10 87 x 10 = 870 Or I guess you could say tnetennba, that would’ve also got you the right answer
My solution for the first numbers puzzle was: 75 x 8 = 600 7 x 3 = 21 21 + 9 = 30 30 x 9 = 270 600 + 270 = 870 I can't help but thinking that this is why we now have Rachel. Rachel is occasionally defeated by a problem, but there's usually only one or two hard-to-spot solutions, not a variety as here. Aside from Bradley's belated solution and mine above, there are also several more: Subtracting to the nearest usefully factored number (other than the target) yields: 8 x 6 = 48 75 + 48 = 123 123 x 7 = 861 861 + 9 = 870 Adding 75 also yields a solution: 9 x 7 = 63 8 x 3 = 24 24 - 9 = 15 63 x 15 = 945 945 - 75 = 870 Finally, you can also break the problem into two parts in a way similar to my first solution: 75 x 9 = 675 9 x 8 = 72 72 - 7 = 65 65 x 3 = 195 675 + 195 = 870 I reasoned this out on the basis that (9 + 3) x 75 = 900, therefore (9 x 75) + (3 x (75 - 10)) would give 870, if you could just find 65 with the numbers on the board. Admittedly, these last three solutions were ones I worked on after the fact, but I got the first one within the 30 seconds, so I don't think it's unreasonable to suspect that a professional mathematician should have gotten at least one of these solutions too. I had to laugh at S. DENT being in the next letters round. And speaking of names coming up in the letters, in the letters round after next, the cognomen of Ovid appears: Publius Ovidius NASO. I had another alternative for the second numbers round. Since the target number is plainly divisible by 15, this was my solution: 50 + 9 + 3 - 1 = 61 8 + 7 = 15 61 x 15 = 915 And in the third numbers round, I had this solution: 8 + 1 = 9 75 x 2 = 150 150 + 9 = 159 9 - 7 = 2 159 x 2 = 318 Other alternatives are: 75 + 7 = 82 8 / 2 = 4 82 x 4 = 328 328 - 9 - 1 = 318 The above turned out to also be Ian's solution. I thought that the first one was more intuitive. 75 - 1 = 74 74 / 2 = 37 37 x 9 = 333 333 - 8 - 7 = 318
Alas, Susie Dent still is misunderstanding her own dictionary. It clearly explains that its label of "mass noun" does NOT prohibit pluralizing: "a noun denoting something which normally cannot be counted but which may be countable when it refers to different units or types, e.g. coffee (drank some coffee, ordered two coffees)." So noun plural LIQUORS is fine.
Thank you. That drives me crazy every time she does it. Here not only can liquor be pluralized, but it's also frequently encountered in its plural form to mean a variety of different types of liquor. How many stores sell "wines and liquors", for example?
Game 3: Ipsapirone is an antidepressant drug (9 letters). Game 4: pamoate is a salt of pamoic acid (7). Game 5 8 - 7 = 1 9 + 1 = 10 75 + 9 + 3 = 87 87 * 10 = 870
got the numbers one that carol couldn't get at 12.40 870..... 75, 8, 3, 7, 9, 9 75+9+3=87 8-7=1 1+9=10 10x87=870 maybe I could be a contestant on the show, pity they don't give the contestants 5 minutes.
Bradley, I wish there was a numbers game competition for kids and I wish the 11 year old me could play the 11 year old you. When I was 11, I beat out all 6th graders in my school (which were about 100 kids) in a math contest. I would've enjoyed playing another 11 year old like you. Not sure if I could've beaten you but it would've been fun playing against you.
This is episode 4415 as of Tuesday 14th August 2007 in Series 57 & the original 4270 was back at the 1st semi-final in the Champions of Champions XII. P.S: In your Series 56 appearances your average was 83.25, and in your Series 69 appearances you were totally way impressive and also you were are very good player to not return to the Champions of Champions XIV because Callum Todd, Paul James, David Barnard & Heather Styles returned but you and Series 72 Semi-Finalist: Gerry Tynan were 2 strong players to not return, and finally your Series 69 appearance average was impressively 108.1
I did the last maths solution by doing 75 x 2 for 150, + 9 for 159, then 8 - 7 + 1 for 2, then 159 x 2 for 318 (I’m proud because I’m rubbish at maths lol)

Oh mate, watching you jump at that buzzer... I felt that one.. bravo on your run, well played!
You done really well on these ones Brad keep going back then when you was young
It’s amazing how you solved the first numbers game, the 2nd one was too easy, & the 3rd only off by 1.

The little kid got scared lmao

That's false he's as calm as anything

Brilliant
What he achieved was a massive dream of mine as a kid. I just lived much too far away to get to be in the programme!
The first numbers round was easy
9 + 3 = 12
75 + 12 = 87
8 - 7 = 1
9 + 1 = 10
87 x 10 = 870
Or I guess you could say tnetennba, that would’ve also got you the right answer
I did it this way too! Take that Carol.
My solution for the first numbers puzzle was:
75 x 8 = 600
7 x 3 = 21
21 + 9 = 30
30 x 9 = 270
600 + 270 = 870
I can't help but thinking that this is why we now have Rachel. Rachel is occasionally defeated by a problem, but there's usually only one or two hard-to-spot solutions, not a variety as here. Aside from Bradley's belated solution and mine above, there are also several more:
Subtracting to the nearest usefully factored number (other than the target) yields:
8 x 6 = 48
75 + 48 = 123
123 x 7 = 861
861 + 9 = 870
Adding 75 also yields a solution:
9 x 7 = 63
8 x 3 = 24
24 - 9 = 15
63 x 15 = 945
945 - 75 = 870
Finally, you can also break the problem into two parts in a way similar to my first solution:
75 x 9 = 675
9 x 8 = 72
72 - 7 = 65
65 x 3 = 195
675 + 195 = 870
I reasoned this out on the basis that (9 + 3) x 75 = 900, therefore (9 x 75) + (3 x (75 - 10)) would give 870, if you could just find 65 with the numbers on the board.

50 + 9 + 3 - 1 = 61
8 + 7 = 15
61 x 15 = 915
And in the third numbers round, I had this solution:
8 + 1 = 9
75 x 2 = 150
150 + 9 = 159
9 - 7 = 2
159 x 2 = 318
Other alternatives are:
75 + 7 = 82
8 / 2 = 4
82 x 4 = 328
328 - 9 - 1 = 318
The above turned out to also be Ian's solution. I thought that the first one was more intuitive.
75 - 1 = 74
74 / 2 = 37
37 x 9 = 333
333 - 8 - 7 = 318
Nullifidian i like your thesis
Am only here to see Carol!!! ❤️😍🥰
First run (8-11th January 2007)
Second run (18-29th October 2013)

Second numbers game
3 - 1 = 2
9 x 2 = 18
18 x 50 = 900
8 + 7 = 15
900 + 15 = 915
The 3rd letters the adult was too ashamed to say 4 lmao.
The correct Episode number is 4423 on this date.
what a cute jump hahah
9:17 Also parison. :)
There are actually eight ways to solve the numbers puzzle that Carol could not do.
The challenger kept saying continent haha
He did very well for his age most kids want to play video games
Jimmy Tj He did very well for any age!
9+3 = 12 + 75 = 87. 8 - 7 = 1 + 9 = 10 x 87 = 870.
11:41 Their complicated solutions and not even getting it and then there's me,
9+3=12
8-7=1
9+1=10
75+12=87
87x10=870
Game 3: Ipsapirone is an antidepressant drug (9 letters). Game 4: pamoate is a salt of pamoic acid (7).
Game 5
8 - 7 = 1
9 + 1 = 10
75 + 9 + 3 = 87
87 * 10 = 870
got the numbers one that carol couldn't get at 12.40
870..... 75, 8, 3, 7, 9, 9
75+9+3=87
8-7=1
1+9=10
10x87=870
maybe I could be a contestant on the show, pity they don't give the contestants 5 minutes.
9 add 8 equals 17.
Take away 7 and 7 less than 17 equals 10.
The sum of 75 add 9 plus 3 equals 87.
Multiply the 10 and 87 equals 870.
Are you allowed to divide into a fraction as long as you multiply back to a whole number?
It would be the same as multiplying the numerator by the other number, then dividing by the denominator.
So yes, I believe.
@@LiveHedgehog thanks : )
@@sbaxter4207 No problem :)
13:14
8-7=1
9+1=10
75+9+3=87
87x10=870
1st one the word is already there Dates
The numbers he is more than good but he should of won this one all the way not getting beat buy a clown
My method for 870...
75+9+3=87
(9-7)+8=10
87x10=870
Peter Clarke b
Same method as the one in the video (see 16:15).
the 870 one wasn't that hard, 75+9-+3=87 9-7+8=10 then multiply them
Such a shame you didn’t get into the finals first time round.. also they no longer allow smart kids on the show anymore…
Did Bradley ever return?
Yes. Series 69 in 2013, he become an octochamp and got to the semifinals where his time on the show ended when he got beaten by runner-up Dylan Taylor
@@gameshowclips thanks : )
There is a hidden word
Daniel's Trains Where?
It's a shame that the 11 year old lost that time but he cannot win every time
The look on his face when he realises he just lost 😲 33:15
