Yeah, we all could have gotten it if we had been able to use the square root. Did you think perhaps that the contestants and Rachel didn't see it, or that they decided not to use it? It's great to have math skills, but logic is pretty useful, too.
@@jzthompson9598I agree it was fairly easy. I'm sure Rachel saw that 7 * 51 was 357, 100/25 = 4 +3 = 7 then 10/10 = 1 +50 = 51 then 51*7 = 357 But Rachel never embarrasses the contestants if she can help it.
No wonder this show never made it to the US. What’s the point of competing if two non-competitors can prevent you from getting points? I would be pissed and just walk away lol

Ooh. Better than my adnation.
Thank you. Me and my boyfriend watch these before bed. We have already finished watching the ones on plus so these are perfect thank you.

Imagine being on UA-cam and watching regular countdown
when you realize Jimmy Carr isn't funny this is much better
@@antzooma Oh yea, such a sensible take.
Imagine
The first numbers game is possible. Solution is:
507 = (100 * 6 * 4 + 10) / 5 + 25
Nicely done. I tried overshooting and then dividing, but didn't think of 2400.
Amazing! Well done!
507 : 25 100 6 10 4 5
100 × 5 = 500
500 + 6 = 506
( 1 Away )
Mistake :
100 + 5 = 500
10 - 6 = 4
4 ÷ 4 = 1
6 + 1 = 7 ( 500 + 7 = 507 )
--- X
Used The Six Twice : Mistake !
Genius In The Above Comments !!
An Alternative : ( 1 Away )
100 × 5 = 500
6 - 4 = 2
10 - 2 = 8
500 + 8 = 508

Very interesting that barnacles are named after the barnacle goose!
Yes! totally fascinating.
Did anyone else get Avoidant on the first letters game? They didn't seem to get it?
(100x6x4+10)÷5+25=507
2x100-(9x(5-1)=164

an alternative for 164 is

All the Ms in this game has slanted sides. I think you’re wrong about this.
@@daphnea5447they aren't slanted,that is how they look when capatilised
They are sorted. She pulls them out by the front and puts them up by the top. No chance of flipping them.
Notably this was Episode 5655 as of the 1st episode in Series 68.
Notably, this episode marked Nick Hewer 101st episode.

This is actually Episode 5663 and the original Episode 5498 was on Tuesday 20th September 2011 in S65.
SuperSmashBros5798 & Cammy Lovatt, I’m including the specials correctly so this is episode 5653 and the original 5498 on 4 Oct 2011.
I have watched countdown in the past but more recently 8 out of 10 does countdown. This is so dry. It’s really impressive and kinda wholesome but nah.

You can't use sqrt in this game. Only basic adding, substracting, dividing and multiplying.

They don't prevent the contestants. They just tell the viewers what the contestants missed or any interesting words worth noting.

Isn't an English word I'm afraid, try Spanish countdown. Another option could be radial.

No because there is one S. And Saudi on its own is a proper noun so it wouldn’t count anyway
