Me being on the other side of the world, I've caught more of 8 out of 10 cats does Countdown. Watching this right after has really made it a bummer. Still great for the brain though.
STANNOUS is also there in the first letters round. Those university courses in chemistry finally paid off. For the first numbers round, I got a different answer by factoring the target (which is obviously divisible by 7). 8 x 2 = 16 75 - 16 = 59 59 x 7 = 413 I finished early enough to look for alternatives, and found one with 75 x 5. 75 x 5 = 375 8 x 7 = 56 9 x 2 = 18 56 - 18 = 38 375 + 38 = 413 The answer to the second numbers round was obvious ((100 + 10) x 2), so I tried to find less obvious alternatives. 7 x 6 = 42 3 + 2 = 5 42 x 5 = 210 210 + 10 = 220 10 x 3 = 30 30 + 7 = 37 37 x 6 = 222 222 - 2 = 220 There were several obvious solutions to the third numbers round, so I went for one a little outre (though really it's just taking the relevant number and multiplying it by 4 / 3): 9 x 9 = 81 100 x 81 = 8100 8100 / 75 = 108 50 / 25 = 2 108 - 2 = 106 You also could do the following if you want to use all the numbers again: 9 / 9 = 1 75 + 50 = 125 125 / 25 = 5 100 + 5 + 1 = 106 In the following letters round, I got DIOXANE before it was mentioned on Dictionary Corner because of the aforementioned chemistry courses. Then I got UNVEILS as well as LINEUPS, but I think the latter might be too American for Susie's dictionary. The final numbers round was disappointing, because not only was it easy (I was surprised Alex didn't spot the answer!), but also because it didn't offer much scope for alternatives. However, there were a few: 75 + 25 + 9 = 109 9 - 7 = 2 109 x 2 = 218 218 + 3 = 221 75 + 7 = 82 82 x 3 = 246 246 - 25 = 221 75 + 9 = 84 84 / 3 = 28 28 x 7 = 196 196 + 25 = 221
It's kinda nice seeing all of the respect and civility on this version, though the evil part of me wants the mad circus that is 8 out of 10 cats does countdown
Susie trying not to laugh at 29:03 is fantastic.
29:00 Can you imagine if Susie said "valpinus" around Jimmy Carr?

For the first numbers round, I got a different answer by factoring the target (which is obviously divisible by 7).
8 x 2 = 16
75 - 16 = 59
59 x 7 = 413
I finished early enough to look for alternatives, and found one with 75 x 5.
75 x 5 = 375
8 x 7 = 56
9 x 2 = 18
56 - 18 = 38
375 + 38 = 413
The answer to the second numbers round was obvious ((100 + 10) x 2), so I tried to find less obvious alternatives.
7 x 6 = 42
3 + 2 = 5
42 x 5 = 210
210 + 10 = 220
10 x 3 = 30
30 + 7 = 37
37 x 6 = 222
222 - 2 = 220
There were several obvious solutions to the third numbers round, so I went for one a little outre (though really it's just taking the relevant number and multiplying it by 4 / 3):
9 x 9 = 81
100 x 81 = 8100
8100 / 75 = 108
50 / 25 = 2
108 - 2 = 106
You also could do the following if you want to use all the numbers again:
9 / 9 = 1
75 + 50 = 125
125 / 25 = 5
100 + 5 + 1 = 106
In the following letters round, I got DIOXANE before it was mentioned on Dictionary Corner because of the aforementioned chemistry courses.

However, there were a few:
75 + 25 + 9 = 109
9 - 7 = 2
109 x 2 = 218
218 + 3 = 221
75 + 7 = 82
82 x 3 = 246
246 - 25 = 221
75 + 9 = 84
84 / 3 = 28
28 x 7 = 196
196 + 25 = 221
My suggestion: 9X9 = 81+25 =106
Dividers was not the only 8. SKIDDIER was also there
Notably this is Episode 5946 as of the S70 GF and the original 5775 was as of the 2nd semi in Series 67.
This actually aired on the 23rd of September, not the 25th.
Had Midroot halfway through basically.

Does anyone know where she got her dress from?
9 X 9 + 25 = 106
mkkkkkkkkkkkooii

I normally do ok at the numbers but I cannot believe I had brain freeze for the 106. I was swearing at myself all episode lol
7 + 9 = 16
5 + 2 = 7
75 - 16 = 59
7 * 59 = 413
racer 5
75 - 7 is 68
8 - 2 is 6 times them together for 408 add 5 413
Where's Nick Hewer's Glasses?
Paroxide the missed an eight
boils 5
100 add 9
75 divided by 25 is 3 take it away 106
9x9 = 81+25 = 106
100 add 10 is 110 x 2 is 220
68
9
This one's not very funny :/
