[Applause] on to our first numbers round okay Lee Joe you get to pick the numbers all right then we'll have we'll have one from the top yeah and we'll have the rest from bot wherever from the bottom bits yep one big five little 7 five I'm out one three 6 and 50 and the target 605 okay and your time starts now oh oh no it yeah [Music] yes so the target was uh 605 Jessica did you get it no I got 606 okay did you get it John you got it Le did you get it uh seven hospital I got it I got it I got it you got it okay yes I've got it yeah okay how did you get it okay take the three minus the one times that by the big one 100 100 times that by the six the simple little six and then buang the five on whatever you know what Joe wion Joe Wi still got it let's go let's smash the studio up that's incredible yeah it's incredible how do we top that we can't John did you do it the same way admittedly without the Panache you didn't get it no I was outsmarted by Jay wil that's got be a that's Rock Bottom 10 points for both teams now time for Joe and Jessica to go head-to-head in the maths are you feeling confident Jessica well not after that no you spent a lot of time living in Los Angeles but you grew up in Yorkshire what what's the main difference you notice uh well I think the big difference is that I suppose what we would call a good time here right in La they would call it a serious drinking problem one big one from the top and five from the bottom please Rachel can we have the same numbers and the same result as last one can handle it Jo you've had proper training fine 5 8 2 6 9 and 100 yes there's 100 with the chance come on SP again Target is 660 your time starts now this his bu bag okay yeah oh no I'm like this oh god oh [Music] no so the target was 660 no please Joe please Jessica did you get it how how close did you get Jessica how close did you get got 658 658 so you got pretty close Joe Wilkinson did you get it I think I might Joe how did you get it 100 + 9 yeah time 6 654 8 minus the 2 yeah is oh I mean this is exceptional this is exceptional I me all quick question has that ever has that ever been done before this is going to make the papers 10 points to Joe Walkins everyone ladies and gentlemen this next numbers game is Big it's time for Oxford Math's graduate Paul foot to go head to-head with countdown math Legend John Richardson it's the battle of the super nerds [Music] he's an Oxford math graduate and I'm slightly better at maths than most of the comics we have on can you have any uh any Trash Talk for each other ahead of the battle I didn't find any Trash Talk in the uh trash can that Paul found his jacket in what's 78 million divided by 4,674 I don't know do you roughly I know roughly he owned him you guys have seen professional wrestling right there's there's or like a big a big boxing match when they sort of hype it up a little bit and they get the purse a bit biger I'm sitting between them and the electricity coming off it's amazing I was just I've spent years being the guy everyone expects to get the points at maths and it's delightful to have someone here who will do good job of it just enjoying being the cool one have you got it yeah I've got it but it doesn't matter does it why are you crying John something in my eye got something in my eye and I think it might be a sparkle Paul have you have you got it I've got it all right so your first move please John your first move seven okay Paul your first move seven what speed up slightly so what was your first multiplication 7 + 4 * 6 okay and yours Paul 7 + 4times 10 wait till you hear my next move okay well you got times 10 and Paul take the two and keep it for later steel Pauls to stick it on my 660 and see what he does then 662 multiply by six multiplied by six add the two that is mine hey by right that is my two 10 points to both teams and I believe maths was the winner wow so the target was 560 uh did you get it Joe how did you do it if you can if you can pull this out of the bag on the Fly Rachel can it be done well I've got one away with the two ones it's one of the tricky ones there's lots of targets that are just impossible okay so this is really a hail Mar shot here this could go viral what one 1 + 25 26 Time 4 Time 4 104 okay what's left you got three a one and a two three a one and a two that's perfect three yeah add those together 3 one and two yeah 3 one and two is six yeah times it by together 624 I'd be honest with you I'm annoyed at the c 1 + 4 is 5 * 9 is 45 1 plus 4 yep 545 345 did you get in the same way uh no I got it quite a different way oh well go on tell us how how Vic did it well uh there's the three and then you write the four down and then you take the 75 just get rid of the seven and five that is a much quicker method mean C have you just given up I can't do it but it doesn't make any sense you can't get 576 from those numbers 10 seconds in 10 seconds in you g yeah but even if you multiply them all together and times them by a million you're not even going to get to 57 I can't even look at a digit Hing did you get it no how close do I have to be within 10 within 10 you yeah no sorry Sean did you get it no so no points for anyone ra can you do it yeah no um 5 + 7 is 12 right okay 6 is 72 yeah and four * 2 is 8 and times them together oh my so Sean did you get it yeah how did how did you get it well let's have a think about this just explain your method okay I reckon the 25 that yeah times something like three 3 * 70 no I reckon it's the 100 by 100 why am I helping this it's four 100 * 25 100 * 25 is 2,500 oh 100 minus 25 yeah and then you times that by seven yep and that gets you to 525 then you add your three with your 10 that's time 3 * 10 [Music] two well done Sean yeah amazing 5 got it right yeah 561 well done Sean oh I can't do it yes [Music] I Richard take the 10 and square it it's not allowed in countdown um actually um can you um Cube it [Laughter] sorry okay and then I'd like you to square we the five for me please I like it and then I'd like you to time that 25 by the two the other two perfect and then take it away and you've got your [Laughter] 950 okay oh sharah did you do it the same way uh no I put one of the Nines in front of the 50 the only nine in front of the 50 the nine and then the 50 yeah yeah cuz I think it's it doesn't matter how you use them as long as you don't use them twice that's the yeah so that's what I did you see it be work easy too easy that's too easy 760 is too [Laughter] easy John did you get it no I did not re did you get it no I did not yeah Claudia did you get it let well no I got a bit you got a bit well I got five * 100 is 500 5 + 4 is 9 so practically yeah just a seven you missed out on Johnny absolutely nowhere near I just wrote down the numbers that would up there and by the time I'd finished writing the numbers down that familiar Doom went off and uh I just don't think me blame was given a thir chance no points to anyone could could it be done Rachel yeah it could be done 100 + 5 for 105 * 5 and then the 50 and the four Johnny you okay just look it in feel like I'm going to bleed out my eyes I so pleased what have you done I thought I really thought I got it how close did you get about 750,000 out I thought 75 * 100 was 700 75 * 100 7 I could see where I went wrong now it no I'm not yeah yeah I'm not PR re did you get it no I thought you got it you seemed very calm halfway through you I thought yeah yeah I mean um it's that calm that you feel when you see like a meteor heading straight towards you and you know you going to die so don't matter she might want just sit back in the chair and just go I'm going to get all roasted right Claudia did you get it exactly the same answer as him and I was with it man I I was writing the numbers down and I was like I was I was hyped up for it I was like get on my nail this but when it hit 965 I was I was out of gas I got 242 godamn okay 242 Alan how did you do it okay 2 + 4 + 1 is 7 yeah times the 50 2 + 4 + 1 7 is 350 350 Rachel could you look again please is disia catchy oh yeah that's been a terrible mistake I think I got it well a couple of things firstly you're not going to be playing and secondly you definitely didn't get it but let's hear okay 4 * 50 that's right yes 200 I think you have got it plus um four plus um 2 * 25 so that makes 50 and then you minus 1+8 yes and and the award for the most patronizing Round of Applause in British television goes to us than that's for all of us uh could it be done uh the math but says yes oh yeah what I thought maybe we got points if we got closest but you don't you only get points if you get it right so no I don't or one point is it what's the what are the rules of this how close were you 925 925 you would get points for 925 okay so 10 * 9 is 90 6 + 4 is 10 90 * 10 is 900 + 25 is 925 yes Catherine Five Points to [Applause] Catherine something okay uh Rachel could it be done yes if you say 25 - 10 is 15 okay 9 - 6 is 3 * 4 is 12 add it to 50 for 62 and 62 * 15 is 93 oh the 62 * 15 of course 62 * 15 it's so easy what the happened there there was like giggling at the back you don't come here to laugh is the math round you need to focus I know it's boring and no one likes it no I've never seen that before everyone was going like that and pointing at the numbers literally no one has ever done that in the history of US filming what what happened there they were loving that game they were playing along long to me yes we know it was easy I'm sorry but these people are not proper countdown players Harriet couldn't open a book earlier did you get itry well I got I'll come back to you I'll come back to you uh Joe did you get it I got it with an emoji vomiting on the floor 994 very nice very nice uh John did you get it yeah okay Sean did you get it yeah haret yeah how'd you get it haret right so I missed it at the beginning but if you add eight and one nine and then if you add 25 and 75 it's 100 and then 109 no nine times n * and then come on you can do this you're on 900 four number four what do you do with the four you had the the so the target was 405 harri did you get it yeah did Sean help you no I mean we'd need some cameras to be a to prove something like that so unless you've rigged up a load of cameras in here I'd like to know how you're going to prove that can't catch Whispering on camera um didn't Joe did you get it how did you get it I got one away but I didn't it's 9 * 50 equals 25 no divide and then 25 add two add eight yeah that's it you looked it was what again 9 * 50 oh 25 add two add eight what 10 points to Hur yeah I guess I just got smart no not really I got I got 5,000 5,000 well done I went into smelt D Jim and started writing the lyrics to Papa do preach [Music] so the target was 9:30 Catherine did you get it yeah okay if I'm right can I see if I'm right yes go ahead no no come on you can do it no I was wrong Sean did you get it closest I got was 915 915 okay uh too far away I got it well Johnny if you think you've got it I will allow it uh 10 * n 10 * 9 is 90 oh I
