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.

3.55 I love this moment!
I've never seen Susie get the numbers! I remember Des O'Connor getting them once 😄
love that penguin jumper - he is a great host too
Round 1 (75 + (5 - 3)) x 10 - 4 Round 2 (75 + 2) x 4 + 3 Round 3 (100 - 3) x (50 / 5) + (6 / 6) Round 4 (100 - 25 + 10) x (8 - 1) And I'm pleased to say I got the conundrum a second before he buzzed today.
595=(100-25)×8-(10/(3-1))
Christmas jumpers!

Suzie wouldn't be wearing that if she had to shovel the driveway.
(75+3)*10-(50:5+4)=766
100 + 4 = 104 104 x 3 = 312 312 - 1 = 311 Easy to get if you know about "split multiplication" (adding before you multiply).
What has "Weeknight" got to do with salad?
Easiest game in the world. Whenever it seems difficult, just divide by 7 ...
595: 100 - 25 = 75 75 * 8 = 600 3 - 1 = 2 10 / 2 = 5 600 - 5 = 595 8 - 1 = 7 100 + 10 - 25 = 85 85 * 7 = 595 8 + 1 = 9 10 * 9 = 90 100 + 90 = 190 190 * 3 = 570 570 + 25 = 595
Suzie and Rachel could switch jobs, and the show would not suffer that much.
100-25=75 75*8=600 3-1=2 10/2=5 600-5=595
971: 100 - 3 = 97 97 * 50 / 5 = 970 6 / 6 = 1 970 + 1 = 971
In the first numbers round, I saw JJ's solution and also had this related one: 75 - 3 = 72 72 x 10 = 720 720 + 50 = 770 770 - 4 = 766 In the second numbers round, I saw the contestants' solution as well as the obverse: 75 + 3 = 78 78 x 4 = 312 312 - 1 = 311 And I had these ones: 100 + 4 = 104 104 - 1 = 103 103 x 3 = 309 309 + 2 = 311 75 - 4 = 71 71 x 3 = 213 213 + 100 = 313 313 - 2 = 311 100 - 3 - 1 = 96 96 x 4 = 384 384 - 75 = 309 309 + 2 = 311 In the third numbers round, I saw Susie's solution, but it is indeed the only viable one, which makes it that much more impressive that Susie got it. In the final numbers round, I saw Rachel's solution and also had this solution from factoring (17 x 7 x 5 = 595): 3 + 1 = 4 100 / 4 = 25 25 + 10 = 35 25 - 8 = 17 35 x 17 = 595 And I had these solutions as well: 100 - 25 - 1 = 74 74 x 8 = 592 592 + 3 = 595 100 - 25 = 75 75 x 8 = 600 3 - 1 = 2 10 / 2 = 5 600 - 5 = 595 8 - 1 = 7 100 x 7 = 700 25 + 10 = 35 35 x 3 = 105 700 - 105 = 595
595= (100-25)×8-(10/(3-1)) Or 585=(100-25-1)×8+3
100-25-1=74 74x8 = 592 592+3=595
75 - 4 = 71 71 × 3 = 213 213 - 2 = 211 (211 + 100 = 311)
971-1=6×(3×50-5)+100
766=10×(75+5-3)-4
595=(8-1)×100-3×(25+10)
5.48 what is Colin scribbling out here? Maybe a joke he was going to make but won't? Or his embarrassing workings?
75 × 10 + (50 / 5 + 4) = -2 (I thought I had it, but then I checked and...) 100 × 3 + 75 / (1 + 4) - 2 = +2 (sadly barely miss) Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope. :( 100 × (8 - 3 + 1) - 25 + 10 = -10 (right on the precipice of just outright failing, I think. Don't like it)
311=3×(100+1)+2×4

Yeah, the 78*4 is how I did it
