Surely 100 x 75 / 25 + 8 / 8 was the most obvious way to do round nine?

Yes it is, but she was showing the 302 trick. 100 x 75/25 is not a 4 large trick per se, but adding the other large makes it so.

Rachel does deliberately overcomplicate numbers rounds for entertainment. Just saying.

I think it was the wrong thing to do. You do a 4-large trick where it actually helps you achieve the target or it's just a bit weird. They might have gone away from that thinking it was a hard numbers.

Yes I agree entirely - I think it would be far more helpful to show you can make 3 from 2 of the 3 large that aren't 100 and then a 1 from what's left - not everyone wants to or cares about the tricks, and doubt many will even consider them once they go home.
