75×4-25-3-100/50=270 for the last numbers that no-one got.

Yeah, surprised Rachel missed that. I wonder if she might have been looking for trick solutions like ((75 - 4 - 3) x 100 - 50) / 25, but got a bit mixed up.
As a sexist aside, how fit was the girl that answered the conundrum?

I did it that way and completely missed the easier method.Andy Platt wrote:Yeah, surprised Rachel missed that. I wonder if she might have been looking for trick solutions like ((75 - 4 - 3) x 100 - 50) / 25, but got a bit mixed up.
EUPLOID for a beater in round 8.

Or even (50+4)x(100+25/(75/3) for 270
Also for the 792 round, 88x9 would have used one less number for the Italian version - took longer than 30 secs though

I did that numbers game that way, but still used all 6 ((6 x 3) - 7) x (4 + 4) x 9, if anyone's interested.Philip Wilson wrote:Also for the 792 round, 88x9 would have used one less number for the Italian version - took longer than 30 secs though
I also noticed in the solver that ROANEST now seems to be a valid anagram for TREASON, etc..................
I also happened to have round 1 when I did my audition the 2nd time round, and MARIGOLD was the only word I missed which cost me a max in that

I remember someone saying on here a few months ago that in the Italian version of Countdown that if there's a tie in a numbers round then the contestant who uses the least numbers wins.
