Sorry Craig, but there was no 25 in it. It was a 50

My version:
4 x 50 = 200
200 + 8 = 208
208 x 4 = 832
832 + 2 = 835

Sorry Laurent, there was no 50 in it. It was a 25

Yes, I got them muddled up. Thanks for putting me on the right path.

8x25 = 200 200 + 9 = 209 209x4 = 836 10/5 = 2 836 - 2 = 834 Sorry Craig, but there was no 25 in it. It was a 50 My version: 4 x 50 = 200 200 + 8 = 208 208 x 4 = 832 832 + 2 = 835 Could excuse Rachel not getting one of them, but 2 + 1 out of time. Shame on her. I failed maths O levels 3 times with a...

Jeez I didn't even notch up a century today. Did dire on today's numbers. On the last one I saw 600 (a multiple of 100) + 64 (8x8) and was sat pretty thinking (100+8)x8=664 :roll: then desperately tried to find 83x8 but was left with a bucket of fail! Saw Matt's method after time, closely followed ...

The look on Rachel's face when that woman said "he's with us" (or did Rachel say that, I wasn't paying attention).

Definitely Rachel who said "He's with us"

Great final today I thought to round off a good start to the new Countdown era. Congratulations to Steven who, in my opinion, was a very worthy winner of the tournament and well played to Charlie who must have had one of the most entertaining run of games of any Countdown contestant - the conundrum...

I'd like to see Giles B return, or Jo Brand! I dislike this guy already. I'd love to see David Coleman, though he must be in his eighties by now. He would be great fun. How about John Inverdale, Austin Healy, Henry Blofeld (would love to see him again on Countdown), or even, dare I say it here??? D...

Thought I may start a new thread here on Rachel's outfits. No-one else has yet so let this be one of my first contributions to the forum. My wife cannot believe Rachel has worn the same pair of shoes over the last 3 or 4 programs. C4 must be paying her very little! Does anyone know if Rachel and Jef...

By the way, what happened to Greg Scott?

I only learnt about this site after Charlie was on air! Shows the power of TV I guess.

Who's Greg Scott?

Thanks Charlie, I'm delighted there is still a live audience and I've just had a reply from Jason as well on this. It's a shame we don't get to see the audience as I think this adds a personal touch to the show, and while I appreciate the time to set up the shot, I think it is worth it. But hey, I'm...

Thanks for the welcome Jason, I've never met anyone from Countdown, though I have had some brief email correspondence with the "Countdown Team". I sent them a joke last year and they asked me if they could keep it for the new season. I said yes so let's see if it gets aired! I think they r...

I also love the new look and the new presenters. I can see Rachel is nervous, but let's not forget, she did not come on the show as a trained actress, and I doubt she has even been to drama school? She also has to step into some pretty big shoes and it's inevitable she will be compared to Carol. I r...

Hello, I'm Laurent living in Lugano which is in the southern part of Switzerland. I have been watching Countdown for years, along with my wife and children, who of course (the children that is) have learnt their alphabet and numbers through etc etc... We now receive Countdown in Switzerland on Chann...
