how do you solve the puzzles on channel 5s the big quiz?

Question

the words and numbers puzzles, and the how many things are in a picture.

Answer 1

For my sins and just because I was feeling sad and lonely one night I actually sat for about twenty minutes and worked out the combination of possible answers for one of their number "puzzles".

Using their catch phrase that its all on the screen, I got to over 30 different answers. eg. is "eleven" in text a number or not, is 11 just eleven or eleven plus one plus one. Given that you are just supposed to "add up the numbers" do you also do the sums that are shown or just the addition as asked?

The words puzzles are even worse, a memorable one (on the next channel after I finished with numbers was "what word goes with "white"" and this was over the Christmas period, oh there's one, lucky there were no flags (?) at the wedding(?) I went to and thet Barry (?) wasn't singing at the (?) House because the (?) wine hadn't been delivered.

In short the possibilities are endless, the answers obscure, the chances of winning so small that you would be better off putting your money on a roulette table on black or red where you at least have an 18 in 37 chance of winning.

To top it all, you don't even get through automatically, they select how many calls they accept and when.

These cons are run by parasites preying on the more gullible elements in society, they should be banned.

Answer 2

ITS ALL A CON, all the people ringing and getting put in hold at 75p a time, pays for the so called prize money that no one ever wins because the questions are so stupid and the answers are so ridiculous. you got more chance winning a tenner off the pope !

Answer 3

You DONT unless you get lucky. Unfortunatly with English law, if the call costs less than £1.00 they don't have to give the answer. Thats why with number questions, they can use the same question, because they can "select" their answer, a number of times to fill their pockets!!!
Have fun trying to solve them, but DON'T RING THEM!!!!!

Answer 4

i have spent a long time watching these at 3 in the morning, i have sky so i get bout 20 quiz chanels.

i think the are so many poss answer's that its very hard to get "exactly what is written on there card"

I'm glad I'm not stupid anuff to actual ring them, just stupid to spend god knows how much of my life watching them.

Answer 5

Im a Leo and it says I attraction to a Capricorn at the same time as all the way down to earth, to blame, unswerving Capricorn meet you, they have met their tournament. you're as moral as Capricorn, and they respect your values. you're also in a position to be a unswerving and worrying significant different for your Capricorn, even at the same time as circumstances are hard. you're there to cheer up or encourage your Capricorn - which under no circumstances is going unappreciated.
