Yes three very easy numbers games, all round numbers 500 (5 x 100), 750 (various methods 8x100-50 etc) and another I can't remember plus a crucial conundrum that appeared before the clock started.

Yep nearly 3 seconds before. Guessing edits the studio probably didn't see.

4,10 and 10 in the selection, Tim can't get the 400 he declared.

And Rachel avoided embarrassing the contestant who failed to make 718 in the numbers round. He'd done the hard part and made 725 and was left with 2 and 5. Instead of adding them to make the 7 he needed, he multiplied them to subtract 10 and declared 715 instead. Instead of pointing this out, Rachel used a different method of making the total.

No, I disagree. I don't think she misses easy ones or is slow to react at all. She simply chooses to show alternate methods other than the most obvious ones.
But I fear we may have had this discussion before.... |

I seem to recall never seeing any evidence for that, other than you simply saying she's bad at easy sums and guessing as to her motives for not doing everything the easiest way possible, every time.
Fair enough to have that opinion I guess, but it does still seem rather random. |

Simply guessing as to her thought processes as she calculates sums is not evidence.

How can I ignore evidence that doesn't exist?
You never seemed able to understand that yours was just an opinion of why she does what she does. It's a guess - or an argument at best. Not evidence. Unless you had access to her very thought processes. |

Unless you had access to her very thought processes. Why would she deliberately not change 5 times 2 to 5 plus 2 if she had seen it? She would just seem like a show off and a bit silly for starting from scratch to do the solution in another way. |

Because that's not the way she operates. She likes to toy with alternate solutions whenever possible.
As for whether you think that makes her 'silly' or 'showing off', or that she doesn't even see simple solutions - that's just a random guess/opinion. There is no evidence that can prove what you're saying. |

Ive seen her "embarrass" contestants before by doing something rather simple which would have got them the full 10 points.

It's a shame when the contestants have failed and she says ' there are several methods for this!'

So now you have to be 16 to be a contestant ? - have they forgotten the great young contestants of the past. Some as young as 8 or 9 ?

![]() A minimum age of 16 prevents this kind of horrid abuse and will prevent childhoods from being robbed in this way. |
