Countdown Blooper - The Easiest Numbers Game Ever?

[Snowmadboy]

50x1x10

[multipower8585]

9+1x50=500 :-D

[jamesfish18]

No i reckon it was beaten on thursday, 250, and 2 of the numbers were 50, and 5 i think, and just for the record, the conundrum was Handbrake, and i was screaming it at the television for 25 seconds at least.

[Megacooltommydee]

50x10=500

[joshmaher93]

@Megacooltommydee well done

[metafis]

The easist one was when 100 came up and 100 was in the numbers chosen.

[onezeroxxx]

are you not suppose to use ALL the numbers?

[Amaranthus616]

@onezeroxxx yeah i thought you had to use them all as well...i guess not

[mclarenguy22]

@Amaranthus616

@onezeroxxx You do NOT have to use all the numbers. Besides, you do not have to use all the letters in the letters game either. It would be quite harsh if you had to use all of them.

[Amaranthus616]

@mclarenguy22 oh i know you dont have use all the letters. just the numbers kinda threw me a little. im not too familiar with the show much

[wwefan791]

9x50=450

4+1=5

5x10=50

450+50=500

[foxthequaker]

9+1=10 x50

[metafis]

@foxthequaker

Why bother with the 9+1, when there is a 10 already there/

[berniistyles98xx]

(9+1)x10x(4+1) =500

[tery980]

@berniistyles98xx

you just said 10x10x5 500.....

[hally109]

@berniistyles98xx you actually got that wrong ahahahahahah! only one 1? its just 10 x 50 :))

[LTSSNIPEZz]

des o connor FTW

[timtadpole]

50x10



[istvanklein]

10-8=2

2-1=1

9+1=10

50x10=500

[FudgePackProductions]

50 + nothing = 500

[hamzagz]

50 x 9 = 450

(4 + 1) x 10 = 50

450 + 50 = 500

[CrimsonFyre]

Never really watched this show in the past, but I'm curious if anyone knows, do they use the rule of BODMAS for the maths thing, or is it all done in order?

[Bovineprogrammer]

@CrimsonFyre It's usually read out in order, but BODMAS does apply - so you can multiply two pairs of numbers, and add the results, if you need to.

[KidderAdam]

haha "I'm still struggling" lol

[LiamRoweLKR]

lol , 1 of them didnt acctually get it right ; AWKWARD!!!!

[xLilMizChattyx]

@LiamRoweLKR I'm amazed at your stupidity O_o... SARCASM, HE WAS BEING SARCASTIC!

[ITZAGOOSE]

@LiamRoweLKR are you fucking retarded? 

[LiamRoweLKR]

@ITZAGOOSE yes

[Jude1972ful]

well i had great trouble with this one!!!! *pmsl*

[surreyboy84]

I can't wait for Nick Hewer to start presenting Countdown. I think he will be great!

[icovada]

That's numberwang!

[TheFogey17]

do u have to use all the numbers?

[toddles9]

@TheFogey17 No. You just can't use any twice.

[dvwinn]

(((9-1) /4) + 8) x 50

[IAmTheMohawkWarrior]

9x50=450 4x10= 40+1+8=49 450+49=499. Cock.

[SuperJoshMario]

50x10=500 tada

[tehn00bpwn3r]

I seriously thought the blooper meant that one of the guys wasn't going to be able to get it!

[DGCSkateTeam]

What was the answer!??

[WeWillNotRockYou1]

One of them must`ve thought.........

Phew! I didnt have a clue...thank god they didnt ask us to do the sum.

[sid1913]

9 x 50 = 450 450 + (4 +1) x 5 = 500

[pimpinjc]

@sid1913 That's 475, not 500.

[dano1527]

(9-1+8+4) = 20 - 10 = 10 *50 = 500, a way that you can do it using all numbers

[1185carlito]

9 + 1 = 10 x 50 - 500

[bieberchu]

50x4=250

10-9=1

1+1=2

250x2=500

[YippieKiYay101]

keep pressin 3 for so heres a cock

[TheMusicalPassion]

Keep pressing 7. HAHA!

[pikachujologs]

(50x10)+((9-1-8)X(4))

enter it on scientific calculator including the parenthesis ^_^

[kayteepotatiiee]

@pikachujologs 5000?

[MrNeilSuper]

Challenge must be harder. You have to use as many of the numbers as possible to get the target. How about (50 x 10 ) x (9 - 1 - 8). Can anyone find a way to use the 4?

[ezyez47]

@MrNeilSuper FAIL, that equals ZERO

[rubyredphoebe]

Just bcause im awesome like that I did it a diferent way :)

4+1=5

50x5=250

10-8=2

250x2=50

[matt0martin]

@rubyredphoebe So awesome you thought 250x2=50? ;)

[rubyredphoebe]

@matt0martin Oopppps my keyboard sucks.... I meant 500 :)

[potatoeateryum]

Keep pressing 9= Carols Orgasm Face.... fapfapfapfap :P

[stewux]

Nope, I couldn't make any words out of that, not even a 3 letter one.

[jeditronjf]

The older man in black looks like Al Davis!

[jaryd12345]

That nerdy guy who was writing stuff down is clearly waiting for his big moment that never came to say (1+9)x50

[CommendatoreAndolini]

That's easy - you get the 10, minus 4 you get 6, times 8, you get 48, divided by 9... ahh wait I fucked it up :(

[JonathanBones]

8+4=12

(10+1)-9=2

12-2=10

10x50=500

Used them all. S'good, innit.

[ffscantfindausername]

what the hell is the fella writing down!!lol

[SteelPokemonFan]

50-1=49

49x100=490

+9=499

So close...

[nrellis666]

@SteelPokemonFan 49 x 100 = 4900

+9 = 4909

btw, how did you make the 100?

[SteelPokemonFan]

@nrellis666 Yea, my bad, I meant 49x10 of course.

[TehLiquid]

@SteelPokemonFan 49x100 is 4900... and there was no 100...

[TehLiquid]

@SteelPokemonFan oops, dident see the other guys comment

[KefkasInsanity]

8/4=2

2-1=1

1+9=10

10x50=500

[GreenApple968]

50 × 10 = 500 yay!

[BboyFiZiX]

50x10+9-8-1 = 500 spot on :)

[LurkerPatrol5]

50x10 is 500, 500-9-1-8-4 is 478. AM I CLOSE?

[damintsustin]

I read somewhere that back in the earlier days of the show, it was possible for the number generator to spit out 100 as a target. There was an episode where 100 was a large, and 100 was generated -- sadly I don't think there's video of it. Both contestants decided to do it with the other five numbers.

Incidentally, the other numbers game was a 1 big with the 100 and a target of 900. No 9 in the smalls, though (for TWO rounds of this video's simpleness), but still very easy.

[ViscOnWoW]

i got

9-8 = 1

then 10x50 = 500 + 1 = 501 then i took away the 1. and got 500..

[misslivi869]

I got 501, 497, but no 500! Fuck.

[JesseRay89]

I would have gone 8+1-9+50x10

[flavaflow4]

8x9.. Add the 1..

Shit i fucked it

[1CONK1]

(50*9)+(1+4)*10

[ShaneWarne900]

Numberwang

[manudude02]

I wonder what would have happened if later on, one of them had made a mistake lol

[FFHpoison]

8 plus 4 = 12

12 plus 9 = 21

21 subtract 1 = 20

20 subtract 10 = 10

10 times 50

[FFHpoison]

@FFHpoison is 500 ww00t go me :D

[FFHpoison]

i got one using all numbers but its gay and wont let me post it

[wwefan791]

9 x 50 =450

4+1=5

10 x 5 =50

450 + 50 =500!!

[MassMurderMontageSs]

god sake! still cant do it

[raymcd2007]

The nearest I got was 501.....

[anchorman87]

We had one on the Australian version 'Letters and Numbers' where the tagret was 101, and the numbers were like 100 25 50 1 2 5 8 6

They both went 100+1, though our maths girl Lily went 100+2-1 just to be 'funny'

[MrMudmouth]

looked like the guy on the left was struggling

[logun94]

lol at the geek with glassers working it out hahaha

[MrMcb1990]

The easiest numbers game ever was 100+8=108, simple as.

[xSassySkullzx]

Was i the only one who wanted at least one of them to get it wrong???

[FlameOnMyParade]

(50x9)+([(8-4)+1]x10)



[Spazzm117]

@FlameOnMyParade 500

[ShadowWolfofPack]

Can you not get it every time by using the "≠" symbol?

[tysonthepooper]

i never got it, just because some ppl find it easy, doesnt mean all ppl will find it easy. I mean last time ppl done sums and maths was at primary school, i think this video is offensive and i am going to report it to youtube.

[grahamdron19]

@tysonthepooper lol

[tysonthepooper]

@grahamdron19 This is not a laughing matter graham

[SSj5Bob]

@tysonthepooper

It really is, it really really is. I hope for the sake of my faith in the potential of mankind that you're just being dense on purpose.

Seriously, if you can't multiply numbers by 10 then the fact that it's been a while since you were at school was nothing to do with it.

[tysonthepooper]

@SSj5Bob excuse me....we're all not as intelligent as you!

[SSj5Bob]

@tysonthepooper

Apparently some people aren't as intelligence as 8 year olds either.

[connor1998hello]

O fanny sh*t fu*k di*k ar*e head and hole i spelt SUCK wrong :(

[connor1998hello]

I got a difficult one... Ok here goes... 4-1=3 8+3=11. 11+9=20. 20-10=10. 50x10=500 then i might win coz i used ALL the numbers and if i didnt then they can SCUK MY BALLS!!

[HyperNessie]

GEE UGGGH...I DONT KNOW UGGGHHH.....GIVE ME ANOTHER 30 SECONDS!

[mzrealm]

The first guy was totally bluffing, he was still working before the buzzer... AND BOY DID HE GET AWAY WITH IT.

[leedonaldt]

lovin the tune! <3

[tomjackwhu]

i love the way the geeky guy was really scribbling loads down. He was definitely trying to find a really complicated way to do it, and then realised he couldnt

[istvanklein]

I would have done 50x9=450, 4+1=5, 5x10=50, 450+50=500

[802205955]

There was one before if you added all the number together it added upto the target but none of the contestants or carole noticed.

[tysonthepooper]

i wouldve said "i THINK i have it" then when everybody laughed, thinking i was joking, i wouldve shouted "Thats Number-Wang!" then laughed too :)

[duseanmandik]

i got 499 =[

[MrAndrewGCGibson]

@duseanmandik awww bless

[lewie895]

@duseanmandik me too

9x50=450 10x4=40 +9= 499

[thomashaddock1]

i would have done 50 x (9+1) just to be awkward haha

[devil1jin]

@thomashaddock1 hahaha i would have done the same thing!

[lolcopter1911]

This is obviously 50 X 10

[phildrummer]

@lolcopter1911 are you sure

[thomashaddock1]

@lolcopter1911 u need shot ahhaha

[MultiTrollHunter]

@TheOnlyHaza Trying to be clever fail ahhaah

[TheHellboy1234]

@TheOnlyHaza you nerd



[georgexxxrhianna]

i whoudn't of got that! lol

[Hoodie12345]

why is he still wringing? Is that too hard? lol

[JamesParkersVideos]

Of course it's easy, they're American; anything hard would involve brain power.

[DutchMayh3m]

@JamesParkersVideos Americans? How did you figure that out? The heavy Southern-Louisiana accent?

[ZKY2]

@JamesParkersVideos ..you think they're American? Lol.

[iiWiLlIaMsOn]

Voice crack at 1:02

[hendo69r]

the guy on the left was still writing right up to the end, i dont think he got it

[pukey]

@TheOnlyHaza since when were 9,1,8,10,4 & 50 known as letters?

[alexnzxVersion2]

you should have to use all numbers

[TheShanemc13]

thats number-wang!

[katiekawaii]

@TheShanemc13 My thought *exactly*!

[KyeNodanna]

i didnt get it at first....

[Conway79]

(4+1) x 9 (+50)

[conansfries]

Damn I miss Carol on Countdown what a babe x x x

[ChocolatePingu]

I didn't get it :(

[JRBWWE16]

@ChocolatePingu it's OK ChocolatePingu....I never either :(

[GreenTreeAnimations]

@2saw27tun Well done your not retarded

[spellrite1]

@GreenTreeAnimations Oh, the irony.

[ilovedaisyt]

In Australia, we had a numbers game that consisted of:

100, 25, 9, 3, 2, 1.

The target?

101.

I think THAT's the easiest numbers game ever :)

[shoredude2]

I got 500. Sadly, I didn't use the 10. (9+1)x50 I didn't see the easier solution to near the end.

[TandHshows101]

when i first saw the numbers i was like, umm well i need to do 50 x 4 and then 9+1, oh wait 50 x10 is 500!

[RPOED1]

i can't get it lol

[Jezza46]

I can't believe how easy that Numbers Game was!

I also can't believe that it could get much easier here in Australia where we have a show based on this format called Letters And Numbers. But, just a few minutes ago, it did get much easier.

I'll upload the clip very shortly of the Numbers Game over here which surely has to beat this one by a mile. Even absolute dimwits could get the answer to the Numbers Game I'll be uploading very shortly lol.

[MeagLuigi775]

just do 50x10 500 duh

[igivesubsforfree]

Or:

10x8 = 80

80/4=20

20-9-1=10

10x50=500

:)

[ALEXENATER]

thats fuckin easy

[KingOfKatamari]

50*8 + 10*(9+(1^4)) for my all six number solution. That's astounding, though — I think they should have redrawn the numbers and set a new target.

[WavemasterAshi]

50 * 10 * 1 * ((9-8)^4) = 500. Just to use them all without any effort whatsoever.

[theishmeister]

@twentyletternamesftw when has 50x10 ever going to be 60? The addition sign has always been "+" ;)

[UsingNothing]

@theishmeister Well.. 50x10 = 600 actually. Because, if you take the 0's from 50 and 10, you are left with 1 and 5. 1 + 5 = 6. And then you join the 6 with the 2 0's we removed earlier to make 600. xD

[zenqimaster]

How is this a blooper?

[podsterkid]

I saw this when this was on tv and i still cant do it :P

[MissCharlieG2010]

500.. thats easy!

50 x 10 = 500!

any one got that?

[biggie558]

@MissCharlieG2010 You sound so pleased with yourself :P

[Kishan0666]

Oops i ment 50x10 :P

[Kishan0666]

i knowww the answerr 50x 9 = 500 yay am good :)

[twentyletternamesftw]

i dont get it? whys this so easy.

[lordthunder123]

@twentyletternamesftw 50 x 10

[twentyletternamesftw]

@lordthunder123 thats not correct, 50x10 is 60

[lordthunder123]

@twentyletternamesftw Dude, i ment "X" being multiply

50 multiply by 10 = 500

[blinkacoustic]

@twentyletternamesftw Idiot!

[biggie558]

@twentyletternamesftw 10/10 for effort.

[junster333]

What if someone didnt get it, but got the points anyways?

[gwhite79]

@junster333 it can be assumed that no-one would compete in this game without knowing that 50 times 10 is 500

[Kishan0666]

Lolll

[puffacake]

50* 10 =500

[wildboymusicuk]

I got 501 :(

[SuperMidnightVampire]

50 x 10 easy

[rubenick]

@SuperMidnightVampire thats the whole point.. it is easy... dumbass

[Agenthawke]

i got it but didnt write it down
