Ciaran Crawley is moving along quite nicely through two games. Can he get a third?

Join James for the recap later.

6-small-esque alternative for the hard numbers round, (6 - 2) x 8 - 25 to get the 7, then just 7 x 8 x 9, outside 30 seconds though.

Stitcher got (25 - 8/8) x (6 x 2 + 9) as well for 504.

I missed how Rachel did it. I did (25×2+6)×9. Is that what she did?

I noticed FAINER was there in one of the rounds.

She went to 1008 then divided by 2, but looking at the numbers I still can't see how she would have got to 1008

Edit, (6 + 8) x 8 x 9 / 2 I guess?

That's a bit of a cheat then to go to 1008 because it's just 14*4*9, so multiplying by 8 first is showboating!

Yeah anyone that showboats in numbers rounds is a bit of a douchebag by default.

(Think you've edited the quotes badly there Martin)

3rd Numbers Alt.: ((8 x 6) + 8) x 9 = 504 (basically the same as everyone else. :P )
