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.

Frustrating seeing them be wrong on easier rounds, then I realized this is the regular show, and a lot of players are good at letters and bad at numbers. Coincidentally, a lot of the fans of this channel are probably good at numbers and bad at letters like myself.
Yeah..totally!! Numbers don't lie, with words...you have to think, is that a word!? is that not a word!! Even though that sounds a little silly!!
I actually got all of the numbers rounds without much trouble this time.
Thanks for posting, and well edited as usual!
Nice video, keep it up Bjoern❤
Thank you, I will
I would swear that the Countdown numbers games tend to be easier than the 8OO10C variety.
Hi Bjoern,
Really glad to see these Countdown numbers videos again!
Preparation for the World Cup now, and the Hectoc competition that precedes it!
Haven't seen one of your vids in ages, and nice easy rounds for my return.
For the first I had (100*3)-25+8+4 which is fundamentally the same as Rachel's answer
For the second: (100*5)-7-4
For the 3rd: same as contestant and also 5(100-1+((50+6)/2))
For he final round 9(50+2)-4+1
489:
100 * 5 = 500
500 - 7 - 4 = 489
10 - 7 = 3
100 - 3 = 97
97 * 5 = 485
485 + 4 = 489
100 * 5 = 500
25 - 10 - 4 = 11
500 - 11 = 489
1. (100+4)x3-25=287
2. 5x100-4-7=489
3. 6x100+50-(5x(1+2))=635
4. 50x9+75/(1+4))=465
6÷3 = 2 25-2 = 23X100 = 2,300-4 = 2,296÷8 = 287
6-4 = 2 25-2 = 23X8 = 184+3 = 187+100 = 287
100-4 = 96X25 = 2,400+10 = 2,410÷5 = 482+7 = 489
25-10 = 15 100X5 = 500-15 = 485+4 = 489
50+6 56÷2 = 28-1 = 27+100 = 127X5 = 635
2+1 = 3X5 = 15 100X6 = 600-15 = 585+50 = 635
9X2 = 18+75 = 93 4+1X = 5X93 = 465
50+1 = 51X9 = 459+4+2 = 465
It was very kind of Rachel not to humiliate them in the first round by pointing out that 25 - 8 - 4 would get the 13 you need
For 287:
3 × 100 = 300
8 + 4 = 12
25 - 12 = 13
300 - 13 = *_287_*
First one I worked out 15*8 = 200, -6,4,3 = 187 +100
287=3×100-25+8+4
for the first one, i got 25x8=200 +100=300 and subtract the rest
489 was childs play!
100 x 5 = 500
7 + 4 = 11
Subtract.
465:
50 * 9 = 450
4 + 1 = 5
75 / 5 = 15
450 + 15 = 465
50 + 1 = 51
51 * 9 = 459
459 + 4 + 2 = 465
50 + 2 = 52
52 * 9 = 468
4 - 1 = 3
468 - 3 = 465
75 + 50 - 9 = 116
116 * 4 = 464
464 + 1 = 465
635:
100 * 6 = 600
2 + 1 = 3
5 * 3 = 15
600 + 50 - 15 = 635
50 + 6 = 56
56 / 2 = 28
100 + 28 - 1 = 127
127 * 5 = 635
50 * 2 = 100
100 + 6 + 1 = 107
107 * 5 = 535
535 + 100 = 635
489=5×100-7-4
3x100-25+8+4=287
5x100-7-4=489
6x100+50-(1+2)x5=635
(75+1)x(4+2)+9=465
287:
100 * 3 = 300
25 - 8 - 4 = 13
300 - 13 = 287
100 - 25 - 6 = 69
69 * 4 = 276
276 + 8 + 3 = 287
100 - 6 - 4 = 90
90 * 3 = 270
25 - 8 = 17
270 + 17 = 287
635=6×100+50-(2+1)×5
465=9×(50+1)+4+2
465=(4+1)×(75+2×9)
100 x 6 = 600
600 + 50 = 650
650 - ((1+2)x 5) = 635 #
50 + 2 = 52
52 * 9 = 468
468 - 4 + 1 = 465
100 x 5 = 500
500 - 7 - 4 = 489 #
287 = 3 * 100 - 25 + 8 + 4
I was surprised Rachel didn't show that solution, so they would both learn how they were off by one step.
@@litigioussociety4249 she sometimes does do that, but I think only when she thinks the contestants can handle the implied criticism.
465=(75+1)x(4+2)+9
