For the first numbers game, there was at least one other valid alternative, but along the same lines: 100 x 9 = 900 900 + 8 - 75 - 50 - 1 = 782 Personally, I found it more intuitive than what he did. The second numbers puzzle was easy. I could think of two main alternatives using the trick of letting larger numbers stand in for smaller ones. This is a technique I like to practice whenever I can. 100 - 9 = 91 91 x 50 = 4550 4550 / 25 = 182 100 x 50 = 5000 75 x 6 = 450 5000 - 450 = 4550 4550 / 25 = 182 The former is simply multiplying 91 x 2 and the latter multiplying 100 x 2 - (6 x 3). For the first puzzle, you can render it just the same as 50 / 25 first, then times 2, but it doesn't work that way with the second. Ditto the third numbers puzzle, where I had this pair of alternatives: 75 x 6 = 450 450 - 25 = 425 425 x 100 = 42500 42500 / 50 = 850 850 - 3 = 847 100 x 50 = 5000 5000 + 75 + 25 = 5100 5100 / 6 = 850 850 - 3 = 847 At 5:56 I had ANCIENT for seven. The fourth numbers puzzle is comically easy: 100 - 9 = 91 91 x 10 = 910 Or: 100 x 9 = 900 900 + 10 = 910 Or: 100 + 50 = 150 150 x 6 = 900 900 + 10 = 910 Or: 100 x 5 = 500 50 - 9 = 41 41 x 10 = 410 500 + 410 = 910 Or: 100 x 6 = 600 600 + 50 = 650 9 + 5 = 14 650 x 14 = 9100 9100 / 10 = 910 The fifth one is very easy too, so I went looking for alternatives: 100 - 2 = 98 98 x 4 = 392 25 x 9 = 225 392 + 225 = 617 617 - 4 = 613 4 x 4 = 16 100 - 16 = 84 9 - 2 = 7 84 x 7 = 588 588 + 25 = 613 4 x 4 x 2 = 32 32 + 25 = 57 57 x 9 = 513 513 + 100 = 613 At 8:33 I got AREOLA. Not surprising given how many times the word has come up on _8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown_ . At 10:55 - I broke the solution down into two parts and solved for each number before summing them up again. 75 + 50 = 125 125 x 6 = 750 25 + 6 = 31 31 x 7 = 217 750 + 217 = 967 Subtracting 25 from the target also gets you a more easily factorized number: 75 - 50 = 25 25 x 6 = 150 150 + 7 = 157 157 x 6 = 942 942 + 25 = 967
That woman only just beat you, unlucky for you good sir, and for all your tenuous work all you attained was a Macquarie Dictionary? You'd expect to at least be rewarded with a Thesaurus.
Because basically every other dictionary recognises 'banjoes' as a valid spelling. enDOTwiktionaryDOTorg/wiki/banjoes dictionaryDOTreferenceDOTcom/browse/banjoes?s=t
I didn't stuff up the arithmetic, I initially made a typo so I deleted the post and re-posted it. Sure, I don't have a 30 second time limit, I was only making a point at how overcomplicated his method was. So meh.
Spelling is cool, and numbers are so cool, and Letters are important to spell " Kathryn is a bitch, who stole your chance at getting all the way to the sixth episode." Man it would have been so cool to spell "My prize sucks." And slapped them all with the same dictionary you won anyway. Did Lilly like your Rap? You should have used the number 69? To increase your chances of scoring.
It's not racism to point out that someone has to be practically innumerate not to sum 4 + 2 for 6, 6 x 100 for 600, and then 9 + 4 for 13 and add the 600 + 13 together. It's not even a moderately difficult problem. There's no reason to think Madferitleeds was saying he should have gotten it because he was Asian; what he was saying was that if he _couldn't_ get it, then he had no business being on the programme.
Lily is a stunner - brains, beauty and personality. Irresistible.
you love it when lily said "thanks, luke" dont you?
Serious chemistry between Lily and Luke
I think I'll stick with 4 large, 2 small, thanks Lily. Thanks, Luke. Surprisingly 4 large, two small. Thanks, Luke. Thanks, Luke. Thanks, Luke. Thanks, Luke. Thanks, Luke. Thanks, Luke. Thanks, Luke.
Me: I think I'll go with the heavyweight strategy of 4 high, 2 low, Lily!
Lily: Thanks, Cam!
Lily your a beautiful princess
For the first numbers game, there was at least one other valid alternative, but along the same lines:
100 x 9 = 900
900 + 8 - 75 - 50 - 1 = 782
Personally, I found it more intuitive than what he did.
The second numbers puzzle was easy. I could think of two main alternatives using the trick of letting larger numbers stand in for smaller ones. This is a technique I like to practice whenever I can.
100 - 9 = 91
91 x 50 = 4550
4550 / 25 = 182
100 x 50 = 5000
75 x 6 = 450
5000 - 450 = 4550
4550 / 25 = 182
The former is simply multiplying 91 x 2 and the latter multiplying 100 x 2 - (6 x 3). For the first puzzle, you can render it just the same as 50 / 25 first, then times 2, but it doesn't work that way with the second.
Ditto the third numbers puzzle, where I had this pair of alternatives:
75 x 6 = 450
450 - 25 = 425
425 x 100 = 42500
42500 / 50 = 850
850 - 3 = 847
100 x 50 = 5000
5000 + 75 + 25 = 5100
5100 / 6 = 850
850 - 3 = 847
At 5:56 I had ANCIENT for seven.
The fourth numbers puzzle is comically easy:
100 - 9 = 91
91 x 10 = 910
Or:
100 x 9 = 900
900 + 10 = 910
Or:
100 + 50 = 150
150 x 6 = 900
900 + 10 = 910
Or:
100 x 5 = 500
50 - 9 = 41
41 x 10 = 410
500 + 410 = 910
Or:
100 x 6 = 600
600 + 50 = 650
9 + 5 = 14
650 x 14 = 9100
9100 / 10 = 910
The fifth one is very easy too, so I went looking for alternatives:
100 - 2 = 98
98 x 4 = 392
25 x 9 = 225
392 + 225 = 617
617 - 4 = 613
4 x 4 = 16
100 - 16 = 84
9 - 2 = 7
84 x 7 = 588
588 + 25 = 613
4 x 4 x 2 = 32
32 + 25 = 57
57 x 9 = 513
513 + 100 = 613
At 8:33 I got AREOLA. Not surprising given how many times the word has come up on _8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown_ .
At 10:55 - I broke the solution down into two parts and solved for each number before summing them up again.
75 + 50 = 125
125 x 6 = 750
25 + 6 = 31
31 x 7 = 217
750 + 217 = 967
Subtracting 25 from the target also gets you a more easily factorized number:
75 - 50 = 25
25 x 6 = 150
150 + 7 = 157
157 x 6 = 942
942 + 25 = 967
I could watch Lilly all day
just goes to show how gangster this show can be
Nib! I randomly found this video clicking youtube videos. I'm a mate of Chuds from college, and we've met a few times before. Small world.
they have hot birds on the show no matter where you are in the universe
Unlucky! Some very impressive displays Nib. Logan is impressed.
I love it when you doodle in the paint program, nib.
That woman only just beat you, unlucky for you good sir, and for all your tenuous work all you attained was a Macquarie Dictionary? You'd expect to at least be rewarded with a Thesaurus.
Awesome job Bro.
this guy was such a tool bag. ILY LILY
4:10 - Got the answer luke? 847.
Luke:Yes
Raf: Yes, 837.
He got the wrong numbers LOL
Who gave Lily 58 thumbs down?!
Lily is so gorgeous...i can watch her do math all day. ;D
Very impressive work :)
lol the indian guy comes up with the shortest words
"nice to see YOU richard" LOL.
What a spud!

wow, well done kathryn :)
8x100=800
800-(75/50x9)=782
thanks luke

lily went to UTS (Uni of Technology, Sydney)!!
that indian got owned real bad
oh for sure uso! LOL
True.
What are you talking about, she does the maths all the time.
WOW!
@12456mohamed He'd already used the three.
Wow Rachael on the English version is Waugh fitter and she can actually to the maths

awww Poor Aram :(
oops, guess I better make some phonecalls
@wirra436 yes
2:26
9 x 100 = 900
minus 75 = 825
minus 50 = 775
+ 8 = 783
minus 1 = 782
@aztec7846 before or after he murders them ?
Yay! I solved all of them! :)
someone did, you can hear it ;p
very very very very very close
don't we all?
at 3:55 i got 847 exactly the way Luke did it, i figured it out in 10 seconds and i'm 11 in a mainstream year 6 class
Tehya Rouse You must be cool.
I’d been impressed if the problem was remotely difficult.
lilly pad is sooooooooooooooooooo hot OMG!!!!!
@wirra436 as do i
DARDY CHIC + BRAIN = LILY hahahahaha she is fine but
4 large and 2 small e_e
@aztec7846 hahaha just about to say that
I could watch Lily's arse all day long, in fact I have done.
I'm sorry but why did that Asian guy even bother going on the show? Fucking hell, how did he not get the numbers one at 7:18?

@12456mohamed hehe whos the blind one xDD
Wat.
so awkward
No...
ROFL @ 6:24
0:33 Lol, poor guy. No-one laughed.
Haha you lost to a girl!
