Last numbers round:

All Go players know that 361 is 19x19 (the size of the board) so an easier method than Rachel's:
(10+9)x(3x5+6-2)

The standard method has spoken.

Colin is the one that got away.

I, for one, will miss him.

I will miss him too but I think he would need to sort a few things out if he was ever going to get the job full time.

WHOLEST in R10

R9 Alt.: (6*2-1)*50-9+6 = 547

Agree with that - a few more examples here of Colin influencing gameplay, stating that a numbers rounds was very easy before players declared their target (and it wasn't THAT easy) and similarly on a letters round before players have declared words ("loads of 6's there"). Also continuing to do the declarations in the wrong/random order at times. I love his personality on the show in general and it's been great to see much more interaction with contestants and clear enthusiasm for the show, but the frequent interference with the gameplay has been annoying.

r14 alt: ((6*5)+10)*9+3-2=361

DEVISORS in R11.

4th Numbers Alt.: (((6 x 3 x 10) + 5) x 2) - 9 = 361

Colin has certainly been a great host, probably minor gripes with him are that his Irish accent is a bit too pronounced, which sometimes makes it hard to understand him, but he clearly loves the show loads, and it's such a shame that he won't be the new host.... (not yet anyway...)

Some also complain that he says things like when there are easy numbers solutions or flat letters rounds, I must say that I'm like that at home sometimes, and it shows that he follows it and doesn't just be the "face" of it. Definitely endearing, although I can understand why people might say it's a bit too much.
