GOT IT!
(50+8x9)+(5x2)
in other words
522 + 10 = 532!
chris
((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

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?
😲
That was a lovely tie given to me by the gorgeous Mavis from Lancaster.

Is this an auidition for Whitely's job Rag? Lame puns and innuendo off to a tee... 😉
E G T T E A S Q O - Gestate
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.
