The Countdown numbers round included this impressive solution in the allotted 30 seconds. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https:/... As always that means there is a solver. https://www.maths-resources.com/countdown/

Another similar problem from earlier in the show

Can I ask why you don't just link directly to youtube?

100 + 75 + 8 + 6 - 50 / 25 = 187 Any better solutions?

Wow exactly my thoughts.

Have been playing https://numble.wtf for a while, which is the same thing but nicer UI

Countle has a way easier UI. The link you posted is not very friendly at all.

enjoyed this, thanks! I did have a problem (Firefox, Android) where hitting "share" upon completion just didn't work with some error I can't remember along the lines of not having any content to copy to clipboard. Now that the share button has disappeared I can no longer even try to share again

The Android app definitely has an option to copy a link to the video under the share button. The copied URL doesn't even seem to contain any tracking parameters.

The symbol for the multiplication shows as "ă" for me for some reason.

Brilliant, thank you. That’s a new daily puzzle in my bookmarks.

Nice. I too enjoy making these little puzzles. Check out one I did last month: https://curdle.me

Not working for me :( Only get: Sorry, game OZQTYAJL not found or long expired! Tried a couple of browsers but always get the same code...

Oh I'm an idiot, my first cURL had a browser user agent so I got HTML then never cURLed it again without the code!
