DOSSIER in R2

Don't be silly Charlie! His good looks will of course come from his Grandfather!

I'd just like to say how magnanimous I felt David was in defeat. He always congratulated his opponent, especially after his 9 letter spot, and was still cracking jokes on the last numbers game, even though he knew he was beaten by then.

Another alternative to 3rd numbers game:- 4 + 9 = 13 x 10 - 1 = 129 x 5 + 8

Todays and tomorrows shows were actually recorded in the morning, ( being the last shows of the current series), with the quarter-finals starting in the afternoon,so he would have missed the cut-off point.

Was the real reason John Sergeant resigned from 'Strictly', because he has to record Countdown next week? Come on Damian you can tell us!

Ah, there you are!

JS standing for Jeff Stelling of course!

I don't find that funny, just offensive.

I would put the following quotes into Room 101: This is yet another example of American culture being inflicted upon us. :roll: You sound like Anne Widdecombe. How do you know what I sound like? I've never spoken to you. Does anyone else agree, that this 'celebration' takes away something from our ...

Now there's another reason to switch off DOND. This weeks theme is Halloween!

I have more than a few things I would like to put into Room 101- Shopping Centres being very near the top of the list- but right at the top would be Harry Enfield. The man is a talentless gurning twat with possibly the most punchable face in the whole of the UK. :evil: A few years ago, I would have...

I bring up this subject now, because one of my pet hates, in fact something I hate with a passion, is now almost upon us; namely Halloween. :evil: Why is it, that on one day of the year, people are allowed to basically demand money with menaces, and get away with it? Perhaps I should try it at my lo...

Charlie! Can you or anyone else change the clock please? It's still showing 1 hour ahead.

R10-2nd Numbers:- 6 x 8 -3 = 45 + 75 =120 x 7 +9.

Jeff Stelling taking over from Des? Whatever next? Who will take over from Carol? Maths Le Tissier? To sum up, and without wishing to take away anything from Maths Le Tissier, I think his appointment might divide opinion. However, his selection would certainly add interest, and could easily multipl...

Contrary to the speculation over Alexander Armstrong taking over as the new host, the latest betting suggests otherwise. He is not even currently quoted in the latest odds on Betfair, (which for those of you who don't know is an on-line betting site), and the one surprise here is the introduction o...

Latest update, is that Alexander Armstrong was reintroduced into the betting on Friday, and has now become favourite again! Anyone interested in seeing the current list of odds can log on to http://www.betfair.co.uk, click on sports, then special bets, then either the Countdown Permanent Presenter b...

I must be missing something, but I don't get this one at all. If the blue-eyed members of the tribe already know that there are 99 other blue-eyes and 100 brown-eyes, and the brown-eyed members already know that there are 99 other brown-eyes and 100 blue-eyes, then what difference would the archaeo...

Terrestrial Channel 4, show repeats 2 days later, usually between 5.00am and 6.00am. For example Thursday 2nd October show, is being shown on Sunday 5th morning at 5.10am. Be careful though when looking in the schedules, as listings for anything up to 6.00am are usually shown in the previous days sc...

Hi! Been meaning to post my introduction on here for sometime, but never quite got round to it! I'm Michael, 54, and have watched Countdown since it first aired. I have been a Betting Shop Manager for the first 34 years, and therefore love the numbers element of the show, but, being not so good at t...

This is going to sound a bit naff, but yes I cried when my Son Lee lost his 4th show. Because of Carol's illness and the subsequent late recording of programmes, Lee's 4th show was recorded on the same day that his 1st show went out on TV. He rang to say he had lost just as his 1st show was about to...

Alternative solution to 2nd numbers - R10:- 100 - 25 = 75 x3 = 225 - 10 = 215 x 4 - 3. Was the first numbers game possible?

Not as impressive as I would have liked Charlie. One of the first things I did was add and take away 25 from the total, and realising 891 was divisable by 9 I tried myself to get 99 from the remaining numbers and failed miserably!

After playing around for the last hour-hour since the show ended, I finally managed to get the 2nd numbers game! I would suspect there is an easier answer but I haven't found it. Anyway here goes: 9 x 10 + 25 = 115 x 8 = 920 - 54 ( 9 x 6) = 866.

Alternative to last numbers :- 25 x 4 - 1 = 99 x 8 = 792 + 2.

Just been catching up on the spoilers for the last couple of days, and see that Charlie is due to air in October. I expect he'll be getting reams of posts after his appearance(s)!

It just goes to show how many ways there are to solve these numbers games. I had a much more complicated version for the R5 100 + 25 - 8 = 117 x 7 = 819 -10 -5!! Way out of time too!

R10 25 + 5 x 3 + 6 = 96 x 10 +6

Nah, I'd say that 171x2 is a much more straightforward route than Carol's (mine was similarly complicated, going for ((50-1)*5)+100-(75/25)). Thanks for the vote of confidence Michael. Perhaps I should apply for Carol's job after all! Out of interest, is anyone else on the forum applying? Don't thi...

Words are not usually my greatest forte, but DESCALER in round 8 was surely there? Although not mentioned by DC.

Alternative, and surely easier answer that CV's numbers round 2 :- 100 + 75 - 5 + 1 x 2 (50 / 25).

Last numbers game, alternative answer. 25 x 9 = 225 + 8 + 5 = 238 x (1 + 1)
