This one has been annoying me !

8 * 25 = 200

200 - 50 = 150

150 - 4 = 146

7-2 = 5

146 * 5 = 730 !

Well done I'd spent ages trying to figure that one out. Any chance you'd post up the next one?

Alright getting the ball rolling again.

Tenshot you're suppose to have 5 of the numbers from between 1-9 and then another that's from (10/25/50/75/100) read the first post.

Had to use mod to solve this one don't know if that's allowed but anyway.

100 % 6 = 4

75 + 25 = 100

100 + 4 = 104

104 * 7 = 728

728 - 2 = 726

His selection is fine according to the countdown show rules. The show lets you pick any six numbers from all the cards, which contain one each of 25/50/75/100 and 2 each of 1-10. You don't know which cards you're going to get, but you know that the large numbers are on the top line, the next two lines contain one each of 1-10 and the next two lines contain one each of 1-10.

Nope.

Thought this might be a laugh. If it works I'll sticky it.

Basically its just like the Countdown numbers game, randomly pick 6 (one is either 10, 25, 75 or 100 and the other five are from 1-9)numbers and a final number and post them. The rest of the posters have to try arrive at the total by addition/subtraction/multiplication/division with those numbers.

I know its allowed in the show but I was going by this.

1*2*3*4*5 = 120 and you've used 3 twice

Also according to the first post on this thread you're suppose to use 5 numbers from between 1 and 9 and then another one that's either 10,25,50,75 or 100.

3 4 7 9 25 50 = 392

Solving the one put up by midget lord seeing as iceman's solution was wrong.

4 * 5 = 20
20 * 2 = 40
40 * 6 = 240
240 - 3 = 237

**** this if everyone is going to continute to put up wrong solutions and challenges with too many large numbers I can't be arsed with it. Did anyone bother to read the first post?

And just for laughs

20 * 2 = 40
40 * 6 = 240
240 - 3 = 237
237 * 1 = 237

Sorry I didn't realise it wasn't exactly the same as on the TV.
Please ignore my post.
I hope you get over this tragedy soon.

Don't take it as a personal attack, you're about the 10th person in a row to either not bother to post up the next challenge or to post up on that doesn't make sense. Game was Ifun for the bit I played it but no point getting stressed over it so I'm just not bothering with it anymore.

midget lord

So do we have a question or is everyone else giving up too...

errrr... misread 922 for 928

ah well it can stand as a first attempt.

Aha!

Strange that we picked the same minute to answer the problem in!

One number too many... You want to drop one and post again?

Also, does anyone know for sure if the *same* number can crop
up in a Countdown set? I kind of think I've seen two 1s or two 2s
come up before, but I'm not sure how they would have been picked
from the numbers pyramid... Or maybe I imagined it.

Boro

errr... sorry bout that - had an 8 in there i didnt want - fixed now.

Dont think ive ever seen it happen on the show - 2 of the same number, that is.

doh.ie

922 -

26 (25 + 1) x 35 (7 x 5) = 910 + 3 + 9 = 922.

Will have to keep trying...

Boro

if its any consolation you are very close!
