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.)
2+3=5 5×8=40 9-6=3 40+3=43 43×8=344 100+8+4=112 112×5=560 560+7=567 100+50=150 75/25=3 3-2=1 150+1=151 Typed it up faster than the 30 seconds, didn't know the contestants did it the same way. 😁 3×4×25=300 9-8=1 300-1=299 I really liked the costumes.
In the first numbers round, I saw Rachel's solution and also had this different way of getting to 43: 8 + 6 + 3 = 17 17 x 2 = 34 34 + 9 = 43 43 x 8 = 344 And I had this solution: 9 - 2 = 7 8 x 7 x 6 = 336 336 + 8 = 344 In the second numbers round, I saw both contestants' solutions, and also had these: 5 + 4 = 9 9 x 9 x 7 = 567 5 x 4 = 20 100 - 20 = 80 9 - 8 = 1 80 + 1 = 81 81 x 7 = 567 100 + 8 + 4 = 112 112 x 5 = 560 560 + 7 = 567 In the third numbers round, I saw the contestants' solution and also had these: 6 / 2 = 3 50 x 3 = 150 75 + 25 = 100 100 / 100 = 1 150 + 1 = 151 100 x 75 = 7500 25 x 2 = 50 7500 + 50 = 7550 7550 / 50 = 151 6 - 2 = 4 75 x 50 = 3750 3750 + 25 = 3775 3775 x 4 = 15100 15100 / 100 = 151 In the final numbers round, I saw David's solution, but you could also reach the target directly by factorization, as follows: 25 - 2 = 23 9 + 4 = 13 23 x 13 = 299 As Rachel says, it's everyone's favorite - the product of two primes. In addition, I also had these solutions: 9 + 3 = 12 25 x 12 = 300 8 / 4 / 2 = 1 300 - 1 = 299 I think this was Will's solution, but he didn't spot that 8 / 4 / 2 = 1. 9 + 2 = 11 25 x 11 = 275 8 x 3 = 24 275 + 24 = 299 Got the conundrum too.
I got: 100 + 50 = 150 6 * 25 = 150 2 * 75 = 150 150 + (150/150) = 151 Obviously there are simpler ways of doing it, but it amused me to make 150 three different ways...

I overdid 151 as I went
100+50=150
75/25=3. 6/3=2 then divide by the other 2 for 1.
Told you I overdid it!
I’m an American and I love Halloween! I’m so glad the6 got into the spirit, (no pun intended).
(9x8-2)x(8-3) - 6 = 344
9x(5+4)x7 = 567
100+50 + (75x2)/(25x6) = 75x2 + (100+50)/(25x6) = 151
25x4x3 - (9-8) = 25x(8+4) - (3-2) = 299
151=100+50+75/25-2=100+50+(75×2)/(6×25)
2+3=5
5×8=40
9-6=3
40+3=43
43×8=344
100+8+4=112
112×5=560
560+7=567
100+50=150
75/25=3
3-2=1
150+1=151
Typed it up faster than the 30 seconds, didn't know the contestants did it the same way. 😁
3×4×25=300
9-8=1
300-1=299
I really liked the costumes.
Full marks to all for making such a fun effort to celebrate Hallowe'en...
Well only one of them didn't. One of the contestants did at least
@@darrenpimlott LOL! I thought the other chap was wearing a shirt soaked in blood...
Colin looks like Svengoulie.
@@Ron-d2s 🤣
100 + 50 = 150
75 * 2 = 150
25 * 6 = 150
150 + 150/150 = 151
i did the same hahahah
299:
25 * 4 * 3 =300
300 + 8 - 9 =299
4 * 2 =8
8 + 3 =11
11 * 9 =99
25 * 8 =200
200 + 99 =299
25 + 8 =33
33 * 9 =297
297 + 2 =299
In the first numbers round, I saw Rachel's solution and also had this different way of getting to 43:
8 + 6 + 3 = 17
17 x 2 = 34
34 + 9 = 43
43 x 8 = 344
And I had this solution:
9 - 2 = 7
8 x 7 x 6 = 336
336 + 8 = 344
In the second numbers round, I saw both contestants' solutions, and also had these:
5 + 4 = 9
9 x 9 x 7 = 567
5 x 4 = 20
100 - 20 = 80
9 - 8 = 1
80 + 1 = 81
81 x 7 = 567
100 + 8 + 4 = 112
112 x 5 = 560
560 + 7 = 567
In the third numbers round, I saw the contestants' solution and also had these:
6 / 2 = 3
50 x 3 = 150
75 + 25 = 100
100 / 100 = 1
150 + 1 = 151
100 x 75 = 7500
25 x 2 = 50
7500 + 50 = 7550
7550 / 50 = 151
6 - 2 = 4
75 x 50 = 3750
3750 + 25 = 3775
3775 x 4 = 15100
15100 / 100 = 151
In the final numbers round, I saw David's solution, but you could also reach the target directly by factorization, as follows:
25 - 2 = 23
9 + 4 = 13
23 x 13 = 299
As Rachel says, it's everyone's favorite - the product of two primes.
In addition, I also had these solutions:
9 + 3 = 12
25 x 12 = 300
8 / 4 / 2 = 1
300 - 1 = 299
I think this was Will's solution, but he didn't spot that 8 / 4 / 2 = 1.
9 + 2 = 11
25 x 11 = 275
8 x 3 = 24
275 + 24 = 299
Got the conundrum too.
I got:
100 + 50 = 150
6 * 25 = 150
2 * 75 = 150
150 + (150/150) = 151
Obviously there are simpler ways of doing it, but it amused me to make 150 three different ways...
When I first saw Colin, I thought for a moment that he was dressed as Boy George.
The 1st round felt like the hardest of them all
Six smalls tend to be difficult.
First one was the one i got the fastest today. I saw 43 x 8 before they started the clock.
151:
25 * 6 / 75 / 2 =1
100 + 50 + 1 =151
50 * 6 / 2 =150
75 + 25 =100
100 / 100 =1
150 + 1 =151
100 / 50 / 2 =1
25 * 6 =150
150 + 1 =151
I was too clever by half with my solves:
3+2=5, x9=45, -(8-6)=43, x8=344
8/4=2, x5=10, +9=19; 100-19=81, x7=567
6/2=3, x25=75, /75=1, +50+100=151
For the first round, I got 8x9 -2 = 70, 8-3 x70 = 350, 350 -6 = 344! 🙄
TARGET 151
100 + 50 = 150
75 -:- 25 = 3
3 - 2 = 1
150 + 1 = 151
Halloween everyone!
9 x 3 = 27
27 + 8 = 35
8 + 2 = 10
35 x 10 = 350
350 - 6 = 344
TARGET 567
100 X 5 = 500
9 X 7 = 63
63 + 4 = 67
500 + 67 = 567
567:
100+8+4=112
112×5=560
560+7=567
9 - 6 = 3, 3 + 2 = 5, 5 x 8 = 40, 40 + 3 = 43, 43 x 8 = 344
How I worked out 299
25+4=29
8+2=10
29x10=290+9=299
299:
25×4×3=300
300-9+8=299
TARGET 299
4 + 8 = 12
12 X 25 = 300
3 - 2 = 1
300 - 1 = 299
9*6=54; 54-8-3=43; 43*8=344
299 - 9+3=12x25=300 8/4=2 2/2=1 300-1=299
299
(25-2)*(9+4)
Dress up more often!
That is a good point, maybe if they wore more christmas jumpers, or even dressed as christmas characters during christmas.
567 = (5 + 4) * 9 * 7
567 = (4+5) * 9 * 7
