A brand-new, number-crunching comedy quiz for Radio 4 hosted by comedian and YouTuber Max Fosh. In the Every Answer Counts round, players must solve general knowledge equations such as multiplying the pH of pure water by the number of PHs in Philadelphia. In Bestimate Guesstimate, quizzers must calculate the value of a solid gold Max Fosh and how long it would take for Dolly Parton to sing Islands in the Stream on every island of the Philippines. And in the fast-paced Facts & Figures round - where extraordinary facts provide frankly useless clues to a series of tricky equations – they must work out the world record for the number of bees in a human mouth… or 763 divided by 7.

A brand-new, number-crunching comedy quiz for Radio 4 hosted by presenter, comedian and YouTuber Max Fosh. In the Every Answer Counts round, players must solve general knowledge equations such as adding the number of US Supreme Court justices to the number of Strictly Come Dancing judges. In Bestimate Guesstimate, players must calculate how many eggs Nigella Lawson would need to make a Yorkshire pudding for everyone in Yorkshire, and how much it would cost Lou Bega to send a Valentine’s card to all of the women named in Mambo No. 5. In Twenty-One – the quizzing equivalent of blackjack – players must try and build a winning hand using countries and the number of times they have won the Eurovision Song Contest.
