I also got the highest ever debut score alongside two others. There were some clips on YouTube but they may have been removed. I have pics from my time on countdown. I'll see if I can find some video. Had a fabulous experience. DO YOU HAVE A TEAPOT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natedammit Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Hey QS, is there any chance you could give collectorbob a custom user title thingy? I suggest 'Octochamp'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is one of my favourites: He did not need to go up that high XD I actually did this one (I never do them, I was quite shocked). Once you've got 1876 just divide by 2 then add (100÷50). It's exactly what he did but without needing to go up to 93,000! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrong Name Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 You need to give us more numbers than that if your trying to get us to play a game of countdown! Is that the number we need to get to? In which case I'll take 4 form the top and 2 small ones please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

collectorbob Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 (edited) 99 using just the big numbers? okey dokey folks - 100 75 50 25 75-50=25, 100-1(25/25)=99 Edited April 19, 2018 by collectorbob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

collectorbob Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 4 lg make for good puzzles, not a fan of six small really or 3 lg. Normally for me it is 1 lg or 4 lg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

collectorbob Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 I only ever did 4 lg once, and always 1 lg for the rest because 4 lg on the show under pressure was a bit woah man lol - here was the puzzle : 100 75 50 25 1 10 @ 254 I actually play Countdown/Scrabble as a hobby in my spare time - especially Countdown - been a loyal servant to the show for years.
