[TV] The poor old kiddy on Countdown is having a nightmare

[LadySeagull]

It's always been one of my life ambitions to go on this show, but the fear of freezing has properly stopped me until now. Bet its a lot harder in the studio than at home.

My adult kids have always told me I should go on it when I'm retired. I am now early retired...

Numbers game

4 10 2 5 7 and 75

Needs 660

He must do it surely?

7+2 = 9
9 x 75 = 675.
10+5 = 15
675-15 = 660.

You made hard work of that!

75 - 5 - 4 = 66, x 10 = 660

Nowhere near the worst ever, feel for poor old Wendy Cooke.

75 - 5 - 4 + 66, x 10 = 660

Isn't that 1,320?

Me too. I do ok at it but I live in fear of being bettered by a doddery old granny or, even worse, a 10 year old spod.

Ha - silly typo. The + and = on the same key, is forever catching me out!

 

[El Presidente]

That is a major relief.

So is having a tug when Rachel Riley is on the telly.

Imagine if her and Carol co-presented the same show?! Four from the top and two from the bottom. Oh my days!

You made hard work of that!

75 - 5 - 4 = 66, x 10 = 660

I had 7x10 - (5x4x2) = 660

is that allowed?

 

[Pavilionaire]

I had 7x10 - (5x4x2) = 660

is that allowed?

Isn't that 30?

 

[highflyer]

Isn't that 30?

Shite. yes. Was thinking 75-5 x10, but then can't use 5 twice right?
I'll withdraw my application.

I did it that way - do you want to see my workings on a bit of paper to prove I didn't cheat?

I can only get 4s or 5s most of the time, but last week I got a 9 in a normal round.
I saw SOLAR & realised I could get Solariums.
My one & only time, and neither contestant got it.

As the letters come up I start forming words.

A U T O M A T

I then think 'all I need is an 'o' for tomato'.

A U T O M A T D E.

"Nope sorry, just 4"
"Auto".

Yep, just like all the quiz programmes when the camera is on you and the clock is ticking. Plus the millions looking on from home of course.

No pressure!

7+2 = 9
9 x 75 = 675.
10+5 = 15
675-15 = 660.

easier way 75-7-2= 66 x 10 = 660
