The ones on the calculator and the ones on my hands, which I still surprisingly find myself needing to use anyt timee anyone asks me to add seven to anything. it's very confusing. I'm your host, YouTube and comedian, Max Fosh. Now you may know me from some of my online escapades at the time I legally and technically became the richest man in the world for seven minutes. I thought it was a bit of fun, HMRC thought it was a bit of fraud. In this game, we bring together the maths, nerds and general knowledge geeks in a game that requires both to survive, or as a high school bully might describe this room a feast So let's meet the teams. We have Claire and Paddty and Anna and Andy. Hello guys, welcome. Thank you very much for coming Claire and Patdty, let's start with you. You guys met on X formerly known as Twitter. indndeed we did. You did. The last good things would have happened on X formerly known as Twitter. How long ago did you guys meet It was three years. Four months and five days.az. There is a man who's tracking his anniversary. That's good. Now you date, but you also you quiz together as well.. What is your team name when you quiz accessory. That's, you know, that's around the porory, I think. Although I mean they have now ceased trading. Yeah. so Okay. now guys, lucky number. Do you have one and what number best represents you So we thought about it and Fretty quickly, we decided that our lucky number is thirteen. Okay, nice. for some. Yes for. Okay. how come what are the various ways in which thirteen is lucky for you guys Well, we met on a Friday the thirteenth. That was our first date. I am very much tracking every detail of this relationship out. And every time it comes up in a calendar, there were two earlier this year, we look at it and go, W. How nice is't that? same reaction as when someone drops a drink in a pub, you know. Anyway. on to Andy and Anna Andy, you're a math teacher? I am. And Anna, you work at a university? I do, yeah. So you two spend your life asking questions so it's time for you to answer them, which is going to be very exciting. What is your lucky number? What do you guys have? do you have a lucky number? Yes. we've chosen thirty one Because like you mentioned about counting on your fingers, you can count thirty one on your fingers if you use them as binary. So fingers up for one, fingers down for zero I see, I do not understand this but. I'm glad that you do. My lucky number is actually four point eight eight, which is genuinely my rating on a celebrity foot fetish website. Yeah Out of how many? It's out of five. It's out of five. I should add. Right, ono round one, which is called Every answer Cs I'm going to give you guys a series of questions that require both general knowledge and simple arithmetics And there is one point for a correct answer. Okay, so fingers on the buzzers, please guys. First question, what number do you get if you add the number of letters in the English alphabet to the number of letters in the word alphabet Aaddy and Cla. thirty four Correct. Wh? There are twenty six letters in the English alphabet and there are eight letters in the word alphabet. Correct, get to thirty four. Well done. That's the current English alphabet. We used to also have letters Eth, Thorne, Wynn, Yoch, Ash, and Ethel, who coincidentally are also the members of my mum's book group. ono our next question Now multiply the number of legs on an ant by the number of legs on an antte tur Okay, Andy and Anna. twenty four? Correct. why? So an annt has six legs and an antea has four legs. Correct. well done. for you guys, Anna and Andy? Or you could have forty two thousand one hundred fifty six, which is an anteater after he's just finished brunch O to the next question. Take the missing words in these Beatles song titles If you divide when I'm blank by blank days a week You have eight. You have eight days a week, you have when I'm sixty four, sixty four divided by eight is eight. Correct. That is enough Beatles song titles. Let's get back to the numbers. Okay, next question, what number do you get if you take the number of US Supreme Court justices and add the number of judges on a standard episode of Strictly Come dancing Is it our lucky number thirteen? It is your lucky number thirteen. Conggrratulations. Why?so? Nine Supreme Court justustices and there are four judges on strict. Correct. But I firmly believe that they should expand the court. I just don't think that that much power should lie in the hands of Anentom Dubeck. Okay, what do you get if you take the number of leagues under the sea in a Jules Verne novel and multiple ly that by the number of teams in the modern Premier League fast his finger Paddy and Cla. four hundred thousand How come there are twenty thousand leagues under the sea, twenty teams in the Premier League. Correct. four hundred thousand is right. four hundred thousand, which is also the number of complaints they've had about VAR from my dad as well. Moving on, what do you get if you take the number of Henry VII's wives called Catherine and minus the number of Henry VI's wives called Anne and Andy. One reasoning. There were three Katherine's And two and. Absolutely correct. notothing subpar about that answer. Would you also have accepted Jane No, I wouldn't. Okay, and finally, what do you get if you add the number of days in twenty twenty six to the number of days in nineteen twenty six Claire seven hundred and thirty. Why? There are three hundred and sixty five days in a year. twenty twenty six isn't a elap year, three hundred and sixty five plus itself, seven hundred thirty. Absolutely correct. three hundred and sixty five is correct. That brings us to the end of round one and at the end of that round. We've got Anna and Andy on two, but Claire and Patdty in the lead on five And moving on to round number two, which we like to call bestestimate guestimate. Now I'm going to give you teams two calculation conundrums. There's two points for whoever comes closest to the correct answer and a bonus, two extra points if you can beat the wisdom of the crowown We asked our audience to give their best guess before the show and have taken their group average answer. So if the team with the closest guess to is also closer than the audience, they will earn an extra two bonus points. So we're gonna start with Claire and Paddy. So Anna and Andy, I'm going need to send you off to maths purgatory just for now It'santastic paddy with first head scratcher is this Lou Bager decides to send one Valentine's card each to all the women individually named in his hit song Mambo Num five. But because there's a cost of living crisis, he decides to send them second class. So based on today's prices, with each card weighing under one hundred grams, how much does Lou Bager spend on stampps That's here you're working. Wow. Okay. There are nine women mentioned in Monica. number five, everything. You've got Angela, Pamela, Sandra Rita. and second class stamps. How much of second class stamps do you think? I can't remember if it's I think it's like seventy I think it should be. Yeah, mayaybe it's like seventy three ds. Do you think it's arbitrary? Yeah F is in my hand. Certainly fours nice. Okaykay. and I talk well Nine onm seventy five is six hundred seventy five. takeway nine is Oh Oh the devil's number. That's six. Hey, well let's go for it. That sounds like a fun number to guess, d't it? I like it. So we're saying six pounds sixty six. Yeah. Okay, you're saying six pounds sixty six. I did enjoy your little sing song with numberumber number five as well. Excellent deducing there from Claire and Paddty. I'm gonna to send you off to Math's Purgatry whilst welcome back. Annerandy Andner Andy, welcome back. Are you ready? Super ready guarantee not. Here we go. Okay, so this is your bestimate guestimate. If Lu Beger sends one Valentine's Day card to each of the women named in Mumbo numberum five using second class mail, how much does he spend on stamps? Please show you're working It's weird to be on the other end of that phrase. So we can't sing all. C number five We can. I think you know we got Monica, Monica. Erica, Tina, Sandra?. Rita? I think then they just come back aroundound. I think it's just the same one. No There'ss more. No, I think they It's just the same one. I don't think he's as promiscuous as you think The first five words are one, two, three, four five. It must be it? must be. Wast it? Yeah. Aand, I'm gonna have to push you for an answer here, guys you're still on the Lou Beger side of the question. You haven't even attempted the stamp side of the question. How much is a second class stamp? It's like a poundk? Yeah, I guess so. Iember the last time I was them I know. And it's all cQ work codes any w, I don't know. Let's say five pounds. So you're gonna to say five pounds. so you think the cost of a second class stamp is one pound No glue. It should be a pound. Okay, if not less.. Okay, so your final answer is five pounds. Okay, let's bring Paddy and Claire back from Mat's Purgatory and find out the answer So I can now reveal Claire and Patdty, your anunter was six pounds sixty six An and Andy, your answer was five pounds. I can reveal that Lou mentions nine women. Monica, Erica, Rita Tina, Sandra, Mary, Jessica, Angela, and Pamela So there are nine women that Lu Beager mentions. A second class stamp at today's prices would be ninety one pence. So times that by the nine women, nine times ninety one equals eight pounds nineteen pence, Which means Aaron and Andy, you were three pounds nineteen away, but Claire and Patty, you were one pound fifty three away So Claire and Patdy, you get two points, but did you get closer than the wisdom of the crowd? So and our audience tonight guested Lou Bager would spend. eleven pounds seventy, which means the audience are three pounds fifty one away. So congratulations, that's four points to Clare and Patty. I'm ashamed I immediately knew how many women were mentioned. No shame. only nine.. No shame only points. I want to know what you know about Erica and Aa Now if Lubeigy wants to save some money next year, I would suggest monogamy. It's much better. Or emails? Or emails, exactly. Now time for the second bestom guestimate. Claire and Paddy, it's time for you guys to head off to Matt's Purgatory whilst I give Anna and Andy the next scenario Anna and Andy, the second bestestimate estimate scenario is this. Nigela Lawson decides to give every person in Yorkshire and the Humber a single Yorkshire pudding Based on the most recent population estimates and the recipe from her book Feast How many eggs will she need And just for clarity, these are the small individual Yorkshire puddings made in a twelve muffin tray rather than the massive ones that you Okay What is your best imate? guestimate? Okay So Yorks wnings, Runny Ry matter. Yeah. So I'm going say Three Okay twelve? Yeah that sounds about right. So's a one to four ex to person ratio. Okay. a one to four ex to person race. That's what we're gonna to go through.. And then already abbreviates a race. I love it I love it. We don't have time, we don't have time. And then Yorkshire and Humber talk to me population wise. It's quite a big area, wasn't it Yes. ten percent is out for London already So of seventy million of all the rest the UK, all the big cities, everything. Yorkshire and Humber. Wh. It was J what was fascinating there to hear someone with an American accent say Yorkshire and Humber with two different accent. you went, Yorkshire Humber. it was amazing. Yorkshire And Humber how many people do you think there are there Is two million okay,' two million crazy? because I feel like Sheffield is in Yorkshire, right? And that has like what four hundred thousand, five hundred thousand ish? So two point five million people in Yorkshire and Humber, doeses that seem crazy? I think that's cames right. So if there are two point five million, then we have to remember the one to four ex to peopleople rge. So we all gonna to push you guys do those sums quickly. Okay, so should we say six hundred and seventy. six hundred seventy thousand. Yes. That's our answer. lock it in. You locked in in your answer for six hundred seventy thousand. Thank you very much. So we're now gonna bring back Claire and Paty from Purgatory and Anna and Andy off your pop. Welcome back the guys Hea and Patzy. Welcome back. Are you ready for your head scratcher? Just about. Great. Here it is Nigella Lawson decides to gift every person in Yorkshire and Humber a single Yorkshire pudding based on the most recent population estimates and the recipe from her book Feast How many eggs will she need is your working Right, let's break it down into its elements. Okay. Eggs. Eggs. Right. If I was gonna make twelve New Yorkshire puddings You do there's like some sort I think there's some sort of thing where we have like equal amounts of flour and milk. Okay, but what's the amount I'm trying to think I think for that maybe you'd use like maybe four or five eggs for twelve For a twelve mini Yeah. So it's like one third of an egg per person in Yorkshire and the Hberurg Okay., that's a lot. So Yorkshire Is it at Nor Yorkshire? that's the biggest county. Inded. you Yorkshiretogher. So we've got our Les Bradfield, Sheffields, Wakefield, Huddsfields, lots of fields P fucks or there's it going to be How many people in Yorkshire do we think How many people do think live in those cities like a million? No wake feels like three hundred It's the largest city. it's never had a professional football team, I think it's like three hundred K. Now Sing us views life through the lens of football, which I think is great We are going have to push you guys for an answer, please. Those big cities and then there a little bit Let's say there are six million people. let's go two million something. All right, okay. and I'm going to write six random figures down after this. Oh to make the mas justust to make the mas really interesting U yeah, Shall we go with that? Yeah, andet Okay, I mean that that could be nonsense. We all saying that it will be two million one hundred and seventy one thousand three hundred and twenty three. Eggs Eggs in this absolutely massive Yorkshire pudding fest. Okay, fantastic. So your final answer Claire and Pady is two million one hundred seventy one thousand three hundred twenty three Okay, let's get Anna andandi back from Maths Purgatory Well, I can reveal, you were both pretty close with this. It does take four eggs to make twelve Yorkshire puddings. So that is a third of an egg per pudding bit you a bit more, but both very close on the number of egg to pudding ratio. And I can reveal that there are five million six hundred seventy two thousand nine hundred and sixty two people in Yorkshire and the Humber. So she'd need a total of One million eight hundred ninety thousand nine hundred and eighty seven eggs. So if you're following along at home, Niglla's recipe is very easy. You just need to pop them in the microavee. So that means that Aaronandi, you were one million two hundred twenty thousand nine hundred eighty seven eggs away Claire and Paddy, you were am measleat two hundred and eighty thousand three hundred and thirty six eggs away, so Claire and Paddy are the closest! You have got two points on the board, but did you get closer than the wisdom of the crowd? So the crowd in their infinite wisdom, they guessed that the amounts of eggs that you would need is One million eighty one thousand eight hundred and forty two, which is eight hundred nine thousand one hundred and forty five eggs away, which means you smash them out of the park again. Two more points for sare and by This is unbelievable. How many liters of gravy do we know? Moving on. So that means at the end of that round, my my, my, it is not close at all. It means we have Anna and Andy on two points, but Claire and Patdty on thirteen now it's time for our next round. twenty one. So what's going to happen is I'm going to give you both a category and you must give a series of answers to accumulate a tally that's as close to twenty one as possible You can give between one and seven answers inclusive. So for an example, if the category was Grand Slam singles titles in tennis, you might give me Emma Radicanu, who's won one title and Roger Federer, who won twenty, which equals twenty one So there are two points for whoever is closest and a bonus point for hitting twenty one exactly But if you go over twenty one, you go bust. Think of it as a nerdier version of Blackjack So your category is as follows countountries by the number of times they have won the Eurovision song contest Okay, right, so I'm going let you confer very quietly so your opponents don't hear. So write down your submissions on your piece paper and hand it to me when you are ready, but also keep a copy for yourself. While you're making your mind up, here's a Eururovision factact for you all at home. In twenty twelve, when Egelber Humperink represented the UK, he was seventy six, which meant that he was not only the oldest of the contestants, he was also older than more than twenty of the countries are being represented Okay, I'm going need to press you guys for an answer here. So Anna and Andy, you have given me four countries and you have gone for Sweden. Ireland, Israel and France Those are your four. Meanwhile, Claire and Patdty, you have gone for five entries. You've gone for Sweden Ireland, UK, Bulgaria and Luxembourg So Anna and Andy. we've got four entries here. Let's go through how many they have won. So starting with Sweden who have won it seven times. Ireland have also won it seven times. So with your first two entries, you're up to fourteen Now moving on to Israel who have won it Four times. So that is eighteen with one country remaining. So it's France. If France have won it more than three times, you are going bust And I can reveal that France have won the Eurovision song contest ive times. So you have gone bust. I'm so sorry with twenty three points. So Paddy and Claire, you've got a bit of an open goal here. Now you you know, it's unguarded, but could you but you might go bust as well. So you also had the same two at the top. You went Sweden and Ireland. So seven and seven each up to fourteen then the UK who have won it five times. So you're on nineteen with two remaining. Moving on to Bulgaria who won it recently for the first time, which is twenty. So Luxembourg If they have won it more than once, you also go bust But they're a tiny nation, surely the only one at wants. I can now reveal that Luxembourg have won the Eurovision song contest Five times. That means that both of you have gone bust.! So at the end of that round I mean both non pois for both Claire Paddy and Anna and Andy, whichich basically means that neither of you need to host the next episode of your numbers up at your flat. Okay, now it does mean that our scores have not changed in any way. We still have Anna and Andy on two and Claire and Paddty on thirteen Moving on to our final round and this is fingers on buuzzers, please, our final round, which is facts and figures. Anna and Andy, you are eleven points behind Pady and Claire. So we need one of we need a generational run from you guys right now. And I think you're going do it. The final round, facts and figures. I amm going to give you an extraordinary fact Also a frankly useless clue to answering an equation, which you must solve in a high pressure maths arena. So for example, I might ask, at what age did I realize that I was spelling my own name incorrectly? or what is the answer to the equation six times three? The answer is embarrassingly eighteen It turns out that there are two L's in maximilion. actually way hold on that actually There is one L in my subilion. Okay, so there's one point for the correct answer. Fingers on the buzzes, here we go. The first number I'm looking for is the age of Annie Edson Taylor, the first person to survive going over Niagara Falls in a barrel, or nine tim seven Got padding glass sixty three. Corrette, sixty three. She did on her sixty third birthday, so if anyone's looking for party ideas, I have a suggestion. Next question. The number of hot dogs that a sport scientist think is physically possible to eat in ten minutes or fourteen times six was Anna and Andy? eighty eight Incorrect throwover to Padiana. eighty four. Correct. eighty four. That's how many hot doogs and sports scientists genuly thinks a human being can eat in ten minutes. Next up, we have the percentage of Gen Z who think that they are psychic. Or two hundred and seventy divided by nine Anna and Andy. thirty. Correct. thirty percent of Gen Z think that they are psychic, although our younger listeners knew that already U Next up the number of unicycle hockey teams in Germany or two hundred and ninety two divided by four P. seventy three correct. Moving on. According to the Ecwine Facial action coding system, how many unique facial expressions do horses have? or one hundred sixteen minus ninety nine And An Anna seventeen Correct, seventeen. That's four more than chimpanzeines, one more than dogs and seventeen more than my dad. Next up, the amount in US dollars Jerry Siegel and Joe Schuster sold the rights to Superman for in nineteen thirty eight, or seven hundred eighty divided by six Patty Ala one hundred and thirty. Correct.
