Was watching big gamers last night on sky!

basically you had to add these numbers to get the answer, and you call in.

1. Number of days in a leap year
2. Number of minutes in half an hour
3. Number of players in tennis doubles
4. Number of players in a football team

I get the following:
1. 366
2. 30
3. 4
4. 11

= 411

The prize money was 600£ and loads of people rang in with answers most having the same answers and the previous callers !

calls were 75p each.

But anyways after the 30mins (3x 10minute countdowns) were up she revealed the answer to 3777!!

This wound me up so much, i couldn't believe how the fuck can you get such a silly answer. I've never been annoyed over a game show!

Worst thing is she never did say how she got 3777!

Can you guys see how she got 3777?

4. Number of players in a football team

I get the following:
1. 366
2. 30

4. 11

so 366 + 30 + 4 + 11 = 3337

Was it worded like that, as if so then the answer is 411.

1. 366
2. 30
3. 4
4. 11

To get 3777 you need to...

1. 366 + 30 = 3366
2. 3366 + 4 = 3766
3. 3766 + 11 = 3777

Now Im not sure exactly how it would be worded to make you add them up that way, but thats the only way to get 3777!
