532.

50*5 = 250
250+8+9-1=266
266*2 = 532 😏

God, I must get out of here!

Hmmmm, I think I'll have to give it to you, no actually, I won't, okay so, I will. Your brackets are a bit off, but I get what u mean, which is...

((50+8)*9) + (5*2) = 532.

I, on the other hand (in typical Vorderman complexity fashion) got...
(((50+9)*(5+(8/2)))+1)

50+9 = 59
8/2 = 4
5 + 4 = 9
9 * 59 = 531
531 + 1 = 532

*Audience claps with all energy they have. Sounds like a 1 handed person clapping in the woods*

Apologies to Marcusr who just came in after the bell. No apologies to siskin, who's method looks strikingly similar to Chris'.

Fantastic, and now we have a commercial break, but before that, I have a letter here from MR I P Freely, of Wigan, which is my favourite place, Wig-on, Wig-on, *smiles in self congratulatory manner* which contains a rather nice poem

Has anyone here seen the infamous picture of Whiteley?

Somebody sent him a tie with the word "countdown" writen vertically down it.
Unfortinatley.... when he was sat down you could only see the word "count" & lets see how many people can guess which letter his microphone covered?

And why not? He's had the job for over 30 years. Its time for some new blood I think.

Looks like an automatic rec for you, even though you submitted just 7 and not GESTATE. *smiles smarmily while fixing glasses* *Carol looks confused for a second, then groans. Shows a bit of leg*

This will be open for another hourish.
