Yeah that 916 looked incredibly difficult, apparently you have to go up to 5496 and divide by 6. Not surprised Rachel couldn't get it either in the 30 seconds. I thankfully saw both 915 and 917. 915: 8 + 1 = 9 9 x 100 = 900 900 + 7 + 6 + 2 = 915 For 917: 8 + 1 = 9 100 + 2 = 102 102 x 9 = 918 918 - 1 = 917

In the first round, I'm not surprised Rachel didn't get the sum. It was _remarkably_ difficult for a one-large. 100 - 2 = 98 98 x 7 = 686 686 + 1 = 687 687 x 8 = 5496 5496 / 6 = 916 The only reason I saw it is because I'm used to doing tricks with ratios thanks to my interest in four-large puzzles. Here the ratio is 4 : 3 (the same one you get if you multiply 100 and divide by 75), which I made with the 8 and the 6. Unfortunately, one can't say the same thing about the next numbers round. I saw Luke's solution and also had these: 9 - 5 = 4 10 x 6 x 4 = 240 10 x 5 = 50 50 - 10 = 40 40 x 6 = 240 10 + 6 = 16 75 x 16 = 1200 1200 / 5 = 240 In the third numbers round, I saw the contestants' solution and also had these: 10 / 2 = 5 75 + 5 = 80 80 x 4 = 320 320 - 1 = 319 75 + 7 = 82 82 x 4 = 328 10 - 1 = 9 328 - 9 = 319 75 - 7 - 4 = 64 10 / 2 = 5 64 x 5 = 320 320 - 1 = 319 In the final numbers round, I saw Caroline's solution, because I always factor if possible, but I also had these: 50 x 8 = 400 6 + 5 + 1 = 12 12 x 7 = 84 400 + 84 = 484 50 x 5 = 250 250 - 8 = 242 7 - 6 = 1 1 + 1 = 2 242 x 2 = 484 8 - 1 = 7 50 x 7 x 7 = 2450 2450 / 5 = 490 490 - 6 = 484
I was able to get sumo / tori from the clue but did not know the word sumotori. Same for the second one - I got head / numb but didn't know numbhead was a word. 🤷♂
I: Looks easy, and as Matthew has pointed out, it's not. 915 is rather trivial. Mysteriously difficult indeed. II: How did I miss that one? III: At least that one's even easier and gotten within about 5 seconds. IV: Another easy one. Just factor it: 11X44, like the first contestant did.
I got both 915 and 917 quite easily. 916 is very difficult and apparently requires going into four figures and dividing back down. 240 was incredibly easy with 10 + 9 + 5 to get 24, then 24 x 10. Didn't need the 75 (I looked for a way to make 24, withholding a 10, as it looked easier than trying to use the 75 for a solution). Missed 319, but looking back, that was easy enough once you'd got to 300. Not great with factors (I'm not a 6 small player, which factoring is key for mastering) so didn't get 484. However, I've just realized that 50 x 8 = 400, and the other numbers (withholding the 7) can make a 12. Then it's as easy as 12 x 7 and add it on.
I had the same reaction with 916 - I'm kinda relieved Rachel didn't get it either.
