    Very sorry to hear that he is EEASCDDE. I watched the show as often as I could and he always seemed to be a very nice man.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 441 ✭✭colin300


    Ye i couldn't believe it when i heard it.
    He wasn't old by any stretch at 61.

    I wonder though after it going on for so long with the same people will they just stop it. I think they should it wouldn't be right.


    FreaK_BrutheR dont forget to post one!!!

    doubt that's gonna happen. i heard on the news that C4 have yet to make a decision whether or not they will be airing prerecorded episodes with RWhiteley as the host. i think richard would've wanted the show to continue himself though. God grant him eternal rest.

    :eek: :eek: :eek: Jesus Christ! Man I did not even know he died untill now. :eek: RIP Richard Whiteley

    Yeah, what a shock, RIP Richard Whiteley :(
    He had a truly unique manner, and a unique style - I wonder what will happen to all those novelty ties :)
    I'd like to see Countdown continue, and I'm sure Richard would too.

    Sorry but no one posted one in a while.

    Target: 280


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 642 ✭✭✭strassenwolf


    Hi All,

    This is the first one I've done and it took a while. It certainly took a lot longer than the great RW and his clock would have given me. I only came across this page yesterday. I think it's a great idea to have this page.

    I think this works:

    ((9+6)*(8-1))+100+75=280


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 441 ✭✭colin300


    ye you got it. Now u have to post one yourself!!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 642 ✭✭✭strassenwolf


    Oh, so that's how it works. Well sorry about the delay.

    75, 10, 7, 6, 5, 2

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 441 ✭✭colin300


    7 x 75 = 525 + 6 = 531

    100 25 10 1 7 3

    Target = 251

    100 7 5 9 2 1

    Target : 452


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 642 ✭✭✭strassenwolf

    90*5=450
    450+2=452

    Target 947


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,171 ✭✭✭causal


    50 9 8 5 4 2

    Target 947
    50-5 = 45
    9+8+4 = 21
    (21*45) = 945
    (945)+2 = 947

    Mmm, I don't think so! That's a 10 not a 100 :o

    I think this works

    10(75+8+5) + 3 = 883


    I haven't seen the program in a long time, but I often thought they could give extra points if you were able to use all six numbers, e.g., if you did:

    10(75+8+5) + 6 - 3 = 883


    Does anyone know?


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 60,119 Mod ✭✭✭✭Tar.Aldarion


    no extra points for using them all.

    the tribute to richard whitely was on today
