forehead7 Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 If doing well = losing, then yes I did! I recall you being up against a fierce competitor, you certainly didn't embarrass yourself which I'd imagine most on here would. Invented the Film quiz Are you Chris Jericho?

ayrmad Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 100, 25, 8, 6, 4, 2 Target = 729 The easy way (100/4)+2=27 25+(8-6)=27 27^2=729. Carol failed to get a similar 1 even although 729 is a special number for those like myself that need hankies when doing figures. It's 1 that maths people should solve b4 the clock starts or very early on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayrmad Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 100, 75, 50, 25,6, 3 Target = 952 (100+6)*3=318 75*318=23850 23850-50=23800 23800/25=952 I actually stumbled across this 1 when I was trying to find the actual 729 example Carol couldn't solve. Carol questioned the contestant a few times about his wish to multiply 318 by 75. I never attempted to solve it myself as the solution was immediately under the question and honestly don't think I would have got it as I only ever do them in my head. Here it is halfway down the page embedded as a video. http://www.ukgameshows.com/ukgs/Countdown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
