Countdown on YouTube [etc.]
Having recently uploaded two of the more humorous moments from my CD run to YouTube, I searched the forum to see if there was a "Countdown on YouTube / Dailymotion / Vimeo" thread here. Long story short... there is now!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Here are my two to start the ball rolling:-
Short clip from Episode #6678 [S77E064]
(A creative interpretation of the pronunciation of GIAOUR, made into a 'rap' of sorts.)
https://youtu.be/GYxzK9k-nl4
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Short clip from Episode #6682 [S77E068]
(The first six letters of this 8-max selection featured a dodgy word. 4 people in the studio declared 6s, but none went for this one...)

Re: Countdown on YouTube [etc.]
Many people have differing opinions regarding the best game of Countdown of all time...
For me, this is it. No contest:-

Part 3 [https://youtu.be/zkIQKtCRvr4]

Re: Countdown on YouTube [etc.]
Just made another video based on my shows from 3 years ago:-
https://youtu.be/x6UZFNauHSQ
This video contains 30 of my best letters rounds, and the cumulative maximum score is 250pts.
Play along and see how much of the max you can secure...

Re: Countdown on YouTube [etc.]
The 2nd video in my new series on "Countdown tutorials" has just gone online...
Possibly a little more entertaining than the first as it features a full 15R walkthrough.

The numbers one went online 5mins ago, and features input from Apterites Hazel Drury and Dan Byrom, and also a (very) brief homage to Apto creator, Charlie Reams.

Re: Countdown on YouTube [etc.]
Part 2 is going to be good!!!
Will upload it not next Monday, but the Monday after.
I tried to find as much actual TV footage of players doing their thang as possible... but it was very very hard to find. For most contestants there is nowt.
In video 1, some footage of Mark on Catsdown was included, but it got the entire video copyright struck and blocked, so I was forced to trim out that segment for the video to be publicly viewable. Thankfully normal Countdown aren't quite as prickish about copyright issues, so those clips are ok to use.

Re: Countdown on YouTube [etc.]
I have started work on a directory of "Countdown related content on YouTube"
The embryonic draft of it can be seen here:- https://www.facebook.com/notes/countdow ... 915687483/
Any suggestions of other channels worth adding, received gratefully.

Re: Countdown on YouTube [etc.]
The best video ever made about the Countdown numbers game has landed.
And -in a shock twist- it has no Apterite involvement whatsoever!
Enjoy!

Yes, it's very good. Some people in our community have done calculations on solvability etc. as well. I might see if I can dig some of that out.L'oisleatch McGraw wrote: ↑Sat Feb 18, 2023 2:36 pm The best video ever made about the Countdown numbers game has landed.

Re: Countdown on YouTube [etc.]
This thread has got some very good stuff. Geezer was talking about number of solutions with different large numbers (Aegilops essentially) and according to this post the "best" 4 numbers are 59, 83, 93, 97 and the "worst" are 12, 16, 18, 24.
Edit - I think Dave Ricesky was actually Sam Cappleman-Lynes by the way. I don't know why people don't stick to their real names.

I'm not dead yet. In a rut right now because of stress from work. I'll be back later in S89. I also plan to bring back the Mastergram - if I can find a way to run a timer or clock through pure MediaWiki without having to upload to Vimeo every time.

Some pupils had been asking about some of my numbers round. Narcissistically just uploaded one to YouTube to show them, the stupid 925 one:
