  • Colin Murray and Rachel Riley host as contestants race against the clock to pit their wits against vowels, consonants and numbers. Marcus Brigstocke joins Susie Dent in Dictionary Corner. Each day two contestants compete in 15 rounds of words and numbers to become the Countdown Champion.
    #Channel4 #Countdown
    BACKGROUND
    Countdown is the channel’s longest running show and the first show ever broadcast on Channel 4 when it launched 40 years ago, in November 1982. The original version of Channel 4's Countdown is the French television programme « Des chiffres et des lettres » (literally "numbers and letters"), where the Numbers Round is referred to as « Le compte est bon » ("the total is right"). The show debuted in 1965 as « Le mot le plus long » using letters only, and reached its present format in 1972. This year marks the shows 51st anniversary.

    SPIN-OFF
    "8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown" is hosted by Jimmy Carr, with Rachel Riley and Susie Dent assuming their Countdown roles. The formation of the crossover with "8 Out if 10 Cats" began as a series of specials, the first of which was broadcast on 2 January 2012, when Channel 4 orchestrated a special "mash-up night", merging two shows to form a special edition of the pair, as part of its 30th-anniversary celebrations eleven years ago.

    Also did 839 diff. to Rachel (sort of):
    I really like this one cause it uses the board left to right:
    75 + 6 = 81
    81 x 10 = 810
    5 x 6 = 30
    810 + 30 = 840
    840 - 1 = 839

    In the first numbers round, I saw Rachel's solution, and I also had this equivalent solution:
    50 + 5 = 55
    55 x 8 = 440
    440 + 100 = 540
    540 - 25 - 8 = 507
    And I also had this different solution:
    8 / 8 = 1
    100 + 1 = 101
    101 x 5 = 505
    50 / 25 = 2
    505 + 2 = 507
    In the second round, I saw Rachel's solution and I'm betting her other way was the following:
    75 - 5 = 70
    6 + 6 = 12
    70 x 12 = 840
    840 - 1 = 839
    But it might have been one of the following two:
    75 + 6 = 81
    81 x 10 = 810
    6 x 5 = 30
    810 + 30 = 840
    840 - 1 = 839
    75 x 6 = 450
    450 / 5 = 90
    90 - 6 = 84
    84 x 10 = 840
    840 - 1 = 839
    In the third numbers round, I saw Sarah's solution and also had a couple of related alternatives:
    100 x 9 = 900
    8 x 6 = 48
    900 - 48 = 852
    852 + 25 = 877
    100 + 25 = 125
    125 - 6 = 119
    119 x 8 = 952
    952 - 75 = 877
    In the final numbers round, I saw Sarah's solution, but also factored for this solution:
    8 x 6 = 48
    48 + 3 + 2 = 53
    10 + 1 = 11
    53 x 11 = 583
    And I had this solution:
    8 + 2 = 10
    10 x 10 = 100
    100 - 3 = 97
    97 x 6 = 582
    582 + 1 = 583
