Jasamrit Rahala

Jasamrit Rahala was a quarter-finalist in Series 84. He was an A-Level student at Eton College from Slough at the time of his appearances. Prior to Countdown, he appeared on Child Genius in 2015 and Britain's Brightest Family in 2019.
Rahala won a very close debut match on 18 October 2021 against Tamsin Macdonald Johnston, after an unsolved crucial conundrum eluded both contestants.
The following day, he found himself eleven points down with two rounds remaining. But after Andrew Adams was too slow to declare the last step of his method in the last numbers game, Rahala forced another crucial conundrum that he quickly solved.
A personal best of 115 followed before achieving four more wins, which included another crucial conundrum in his fifth game that he solved.
In his eighth game, he incorrectly guessed the crucial conundrum that denied him octochampdom.
Rahala qualified for the series finals as the No. 6 seed and he played against No. 3 seed, Florence Cappleman-Lynes. Both players started level until Florence eventually broke away, to relegate Rahala to another defeat. His overall points total is 789 across nine games.
