KimmyCustard Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I can honestly say that I have NEVER got any of the numbers game, OH usually shouts it out whilst I sit there removing my shoes and socks .......... Can usually get the words and Conundrum tho. Kimmy x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Can we have another tomorrow please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmandaR Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Can we have another tomorrow please Noooooo! I love countdown and can usually get the numbers (when I watch it) but not the one on today's forum Thankfully, dh, who is usually a math's show-off couldn't either It felt soooo good telling him the answer when he finally gave up this evening. I don't think I can bear another one...do you know how little work I've achieved today? ....Ohhh, go on then... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted November 6, 2008 Author Share Posted November 6, 2008 I'll post again when there is one Carol can't do - or do you want some anyway? I only watch Countdown a couple of times a week - and only at this time of year when things slow down on the farm I couldn't do easy ones yesterday - my mind was elsewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shirl Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I got it but probably not within 30 seconds (I wasn't timing). I think it just depends on the way in which you approach it. Sometimes I think logically and sometimes I don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 do you want some anyway? Yes please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Well, since the numbers are random we can just make them up. Here you are: 75 2 9 4 1 7 Total to aim for: 653 I haven't tried it yet! Not too tricky - I just tried it and did it in about 15 seconds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Done it. 2 mins and a calculator is that cheating? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 That one was too easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted November 6, 2008 Author Share Posted November 6, 2008 Done that one...... I haven't watched today's so if anyone else wants to make one up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 I thought I'd done it, realised I has used a number twice , went out and then had a bash first thing. Managed it. Phew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted November 7, 2008 Author Share Posted November 7, 2008 I wonder if there is an electronic gadget that will do the numbers? - I know there is a Countdown game but I've never looked as I'm not really interested as much in the words. I'll go and Google......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 I've got the Countdown board game - picked up at a school fete. the number generator is a spinning device thing. At school, the maths department often has a countdown game going, so there must be a computer system somewhere. 25 7 9 2 5 10 Total to aim for = 647 It took me longer but I think I still did it in 30 seconds - just!

Lesley Posted November 7, 2008 Author Share Posted November 7, 2008 Thanks Ginette - I'll try that one in a minute....... I've just found this freeware http://www.csfsoftware.co.uk/Count_info.htm It's brilliant - probably even more brilliant if i turn the sound on on my PC It seems OK - but don't hold me responsible for any problems The first one it came up with was a nice easy one........ 50 8 4 3 1 1 - total to aim for = 443 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
