Hi guys, I'm starting a new channel... so if you would like to show your appreciation for the time I spend editing and uploading these Countdown videos each week, I would ask you to do me a favor and subscribe to www.youtube.com/@SmarterHomesAndGardens which will be about home automation and things like that. YT has some policies about uploading videos longer than 10 minutes that require a certain number of subscribers, etc. Anyway, would appreciate your help in getting the new channel started. Thanks! (...and don't worry I'll keep uploading Countdown on this channel.)
Did all four -- compiled on the fly 🧐 BTW, when Rachel says "four large" I already write 25, 50, 75 & 100 😎 For 833 (start) not easy 🤔 but I got it -- (50+2) (9+5+2) +1 ... 52*16+1 ... 832+1 🥸 David also got there For 557 (1:56) I found one 🤓used all 6 -- (100*6)-50+10-(75/25) ... 600-50+10-3 ... 550+7 😎 For 156 (3:10) I got it 🤓but mine was diffo from Nigel & David -- (9*5-6)(2+2) ...

Tricky day but not as bad as some. 833: Got to 832 with (50+2) * 2 * (9-1). Didn't catch that it was divisible by 49. 557: (50+6) * 10 - 75/25 156: (9*5 - 6) * 2 * 2 198: (100 - 75 - 5 + 50/25) * 9

557:
(6x100) -50 =550
75/25= 3
10-3=7
550+7 = 557
156:
5x5=25
25-2=23
23 x 6 =138

138+18=156

833: Got to 832 with (50+2) * 2 * (9-1). Didn't catch that it was divisible by 49.
557: (50+6) * 10 - 75/25

5. SHIVERING
These guys are really good at the numbers.
Why did they put that cutout in the front of Rachel's dress?
I think it came with the dress.
I think she spilt some tea and they didn't want to risk an Ofcom complaint.
557=6×100-50+10-75/25
198:
100 + 50 =150
150 / 75 =2
25 + 2 - 5 =22
22 * 9 =198
50 * 9 / 25 =18
100 + 75 + 18 + 5 =198
9 - 5 =4
50 * 4 =200
75 - 25 =50
100 / 50 =2
200 - 2 =198
9 + 5 + 2 = 16 50 + 2 = 52 × 16 = 832 + 1 = 833
75 ÷ 25 = 3 6 × 100 = 600 - 50 = 550 + 10 = 560 - 3 = 557
2 + 2 = 4 9 × 5 = 45 - 6 = 39 × 4 = 156
100 ÷ 50 = 2 25 × 5 = 125 + 75 = 200 - 2 = 198
833=(50+2)x(9+5+2)+1
557=6x100-50+10-(75/25)
5x25=125+75=200 100/50=2 200-2=198
For 156, using all the numbers:
(9 × 2) - 2 = 16
16 + 5 + 5 = 26
26 × 6 = *_156_*
In the first numbers round, I saw David's solution and also had these:
50 + 2 = 52
9 + 5 + 2 = 16
52 x 16 = 832
832 + 1 = 833
50 + 9 = 59
59 x 2 = 118
118 + 1 = 119
5 + 2 = 7
119 x 7 = 833
In the second numbers round, I saw each contestants' solution, and unfortunately the only other materially different way to solve it was just as easy:
100 x 6 = 600
600 + 10 = 610
610 - 50 = 560
75 / 25 = 3
560 - 3 = 557
A bit of a waste of a four-large selection, unfortunately.
In the first numbers round, I saw both contestants' solution and also had these:
6 + 5 + 2 = 13
9 + 5 = 14
14 - 2 = 12
13 x 12 = 156
9 + 6 = 15
15 x 5 = 75
75 + 5 = 80
80 - 2 = 78
78 x 2 = 156
9 x 5 = 45
45 + 5 + 2 = 52
6 / 2 = 3
52 x 3 = 156
In the final numbers round, I saw both contestants' solutions, and also had these:
75 - 9 = 66
50 / 25 = 2
5 - 2 = 3
66 x 3 = 198
100 x 50 = 5000
5000 + 75 = 5075
5075 / 25 = 203
203 - 5 = 198
100 x 5 = 500
500 + 50 = 550
550 x 9 = 4950
4950 / 25 = 198
50 × (9 × 2 - 1) - 5 × 2 = +7 (ooh, this is rough, even for me)
100 × 6 - 50 + (10 - 75 ÷ 25) = 0 (saw that right away)
(5 × 5 + 2 ÷ 2) × 6 = 0 (stared for quite a bit, and then everything falls right into place, which is always lovely)
100 + 75 + 25 - (50 ÷ 5 - 9) = +1 (would love to see if we can get all the way there)
2(5x6 + 9)2 = 156.
156:
6 * 5 =30
30 + 9 =39
39 * 2 * 2 =156
5 * 5 =25
2 / 2 =1
25 + 1 =26
26 * 6 =156
6 + 5 + 2 =13
9 + 5 - 2 =12
13 * 12 =156
156 = (9 x 5 - 6) x 2 x 2
or (5 x 6 + 9) x 2 x 2
198 = 25 x 5 + 75 - 100/50
50 + 2 = 52
9 + 5 + 2 = 16
52 x 16 = 832
(832 + 1 = 833)
557:
75 / 25 =3
100 * 6 =600
600 + 10 - 50 - 3 =557
50 + 6 =56
56 * 10 =560
75 / 25 =3
560 - 3 =557
6x100-50+(10-75:25)=557
(5x5-2)x6+2x9=156
6(2(9+5)-2)=156
100+50+(5*9)+75/25=198
198 = (9-5)×50-(100/(75-25)
And that's exactly the way I found too. Seems like there are at least 3 ways for 198.
198=9×(100/5+50/25)
(9-5)x50-(100:(75-25))=198
100×6=600
600-50=550
75/25=3
10-3=7
550+7=557
5*25=125
125+75=200
100/50=2
200-2=192
No a very likable person, I’m glad he lost.
Cheery fella isn’t he 😂
He looks like he's hating every minute of it. Was he put on the show against his will?
He may have just been very nervous.
833=(2×5+9-2)×(50-1)
833=(5+2)×(2×(50+9)+1)
((50 +2) x (9 + 5 + 2))+ 1 = 833
156=(9+5-2)×(6+5+2)
156=6×(5×5+2/2)
156=2×2×(5×9-6)
How do they know the second person got it if all he has to do is say he got it the same way
How many more episodes with that bearded hippie? He has no manners.
He should have been a contestant when Anne Robinson was cadting a pall of darkness over the show. He'd have fitted right in.
