Does anyone know the solution to last nights Play TV puzzle (the numbers in the triangles). Could not work out how the answer (622) was found. They didn't even give the solution at the end, :(
 
If anyone has the solution pelase post it, what a nightmare of a show! i was convinced i had the answer (and i still am), it was 1786. apparently the correct answer was 1173. My finance ended up sitting up for the whole show to see what the answer was and how they came up with it and they didn't even show how they solved it!!! anyone with the solution pleassseee share!!!
 
There was a very long thread on boards.ie (now locked).

No one could make any sense of the answer.
 
I know a lot of people that would not put a cent on a horse or dog race but spend quite a bit of money on these 'intellectual' tests. Do they not realise that the object of the exercise is to part the punter from his money? While not exactly a scam, surely a first cousin of one.
 
I watched that once and couldn't make head nor tails of the answer. Seems bogus to me.

AJ - have you no imagination?

From the BCC decision

The BCC also examined the broadcast of June 16, in which the game was “What is white?” There were two possible answers. While the presenter took calls at the start, during one 30-minute period no calls were taken. The commission noted that “the viewer is not fully informed of the nature of the rules”, is given no indication of what chance their call has of getting through and is “not fully informed of the randomness” of the quiz.
The presenter said €6,000 would be won by whoever guesed both answers, but one caller who correctly guessed the first — soya milk — was given €3,000 but no opportunity to guess the second. This was “white alligator”, which the BCC said was “not reasonable”, “extremely obscure” and “difficult to guess”.

regarding the triangle from last nytes programme with the numbers: 7, 33, 8, 21, 17 and the word six.
I dont no how she got an answer of 643! I think that i was the closest, even tho i didnt ring in. I got an answer of 409.
17 was n 6 triangles....17x6= 102
21 was in 4 triangles....21x4= 84
8 was in 7 triangles......8x7= 56
33 was in 4 triangles...33x4= 132
7 was in 5 triangles......7x5= 35
six is not a number but a word!
Therefore the total i got is 409

Anyone help please!
 
The night I tuned in briefly for "What is white?" was an albatross wtf?
This is the closest thing to a scam (if not indeed one?).
