BACKGROUND
Countdown is the channel’s longest running show and the first show ever broadcast on Channel 4 when it launched 40 years ago, in November 1982. The original version of Channel 4's Countdown is the French television programme « Des chiffres et des lettres » (literally "numbers and letters"), where the Numbers Round is referred to as « Le compte est bon » ("the total is right"). The show debuted in 1965 as « Le mot le plus long » using letters only, and reached its present format in 1972. This year marks the shows 51st anniversary.

SPIN-OFF
"8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown" is hosted by Jimmy Carr, with Rachel Riley and Susie Dent assuming their Countdown roles. The formation of the crossover with "8 Out if 10 Cats" began as a series of specials, the first of which was broadcast on 2 January 2012, when Channel 4 orchestrated a special "mash-up night", merging two shows to form a special edition of the pair, as part of its 30th-anniversary celebrations eleven years ago.

I approached the 567 quite differently. I thought since 75 was the only uneven number I had to either add or subtract it in the end. That works wonderfully:
6*100=600
+10*4+2=642
-75=567
567:
100 * 6 = 600
10 * 4 = 40
75 - 40 - 2 = 33
600 - 33 = 567
75 + 6 = 81
10 + 4 = 14
14 / 2 = 7
81 * 7 = 567
100 + 75 + 10 + 4 = 189
6 / 2 = 3
189 * 3 = 567
This is the first time I've seen this show, and it feels like the Hardest game show Ever.
Have you ever seen the " 8 Out Of 10 Cats" version? So funny and also sometimes difficult!
Been going since 1982 - it's a British afternoon television classic.
@@WaterCrane Started in France in the 60 I think.
567 is also divisible by 3. so another solution would be:
100+75+10+4=189
*6/2=567
848:
25 * 4 = 100
100 + 6 = 106
106 * 8 = 848
25 * 2 = 50
50 + 3 = 53
53 * 8 = 424
6 - 4 = 2
424 * 2 = 848
25 * 8 = 200
6 * 2 = 12
200 + 12 = 212
212 * 4 = 848
I found an easier way for this one 4:00
100 x 6 = 600
100 - 75 = 525
(10 x 4) + 2 = 42
525 + 42 = 567
My solutions:
50x6x2+9-8 = 601
(50+25)x7+5+5+3 = 538
(100+75+10+4)x(6/2) = 567
(25x4+6)x8 = 848
I got 567 this way
100*6=600
4*10=40
600+40+2=642-75=567
601:
6 + 2 = 8
8 x 75 = 600
9 - 8 = 1
600 + 1 = 601
538:
50 + 25 = 75
75 * 7 = 525
525 + 5 + 5 + 3 = 538
848:
25 x 4 = 100
100 + 6 = 106
106 x 8 = 848
there's another solution to the second numbers round (100+75+10+4)=189 189*(6/2) = 567
848. 4*6=24-8=16. 2*25=50+3=53*16=848
567. 100+75+10+4=189. 6:2=3*189=567
567 = 100 * 6 - 75 + 10 * 4 + 2
601:
75 * 8 = 600
9 - 6 - 2 = 1
600 + 1 = 601
50 * 6 * 2 = 600
9 - 8 = 1
600 + 1 = 601
75 - 8 = 67
67 * 9 = 603
603 - 2 = 601
567 for me I got, 100-10= 90-(2*4) =82 * 6 = 492 + 75 = 567
2 big ones from the top, please.
pretty sure guy just wanted to make a 69 joke.
Yuup 2 large ones from the top
Tracy not happy about Colin calling her a wide lorry. Especially funny given her surname
"you need something tricky!" ... 2 ... 3 ... 4 .... ok that's ten points each ...
From one of the best shows ever to an absolute snoozefest. Guess the host does matter.
Hello Anne how's it going? 😉
I like this host. Some months ago there was this woman that would be more of a moderator than a host
In case you’re referring to Jimmy Carr… that’s two different shows. This in the regular afternoon version. The other one is the late night comedy version.
@@delilh325 that was when Anne Robinson presented it she couldn't be like she was on the weakest link because of political correctness
@@peterwilliamskelhorn6675 I don't think you know what political correctness is, Anne Robinson never dropped N bombs on the weakest link
I wonder if there has ever been a dyslexic contestant
In the first numbers round, I saw both contestants' solutions and also had these solutions:
75 - 8 = 67
67 x 9 = 603
603 - 2 = 601
75 x 9 = 675
675 - 50 = 625
8 / 2 = 4
6 x 4 = 24
625 - 24 = 601
9 - 6 = 3
75 - 3 = 72
72 x 8 = 576
50 / 2 = 25
576 + 25 = 601
In the second numbers round, it's one of those disappointing rounds where the solution is easy and there's only one viable one. I saw Rachel's solution, but nothing else worked. But at least the teaser was good.
In the third numbers round, I saw Rachel's solution, and I also had these ones:
100 x 6 = 600
10 x 4 = 40
600 + 40 + 2 = 642
642 - 75 = 567
100 x 10 = 1000
1000 - 4 = 996
996 / 2 = 498
498 + 75 = 573
573 - 6 = 567
In the final round, there were loads of alternatives for the target. I saw Graham's solution and also had these:
25 x 8 = 200
6 x 2 = 12
200 + 12 = 212
212 x 4 = 848
8 x 4 = 32
32 + 2 = 34
34 x 25 = 850
6 / 3 = 2
850 - 2 = 848
25 x 2 = 50
50 + 3 = 53
6 - 4 = 2
53 x 8 x 2 = 848
25 x 6 = 150
150 - 8 = 142
142 x 3 x 2 = 852
852 - 4 = 848
