I haven't watched this in years (I used to watch it all the time when I was at university), and I was worried that I'd be rubbish. It turns out that I'm a bit rusty/rubbish on the words, but when it came to the number I managed to work it out with plenty of time. The two contestants were close to 219, Carol was spot on, but she used a different way to me.

The numbers: 100, 25, 10, 1, 8, 6

They got 217 and 215. Carol came up with:

(10-8)
x 100
= 200
+ 25
- 6
= 219

My way works out as
(8-6)
x (100 + 10)
= 220
- 1
= 219

At least I haven't lost my touch on the numbers. And perhaps I can improve my words now that I have 4oD installed.
