Nasty is a variant on the general Countdown game.

During Episode S26, a special between the 2009 series champions Chris Davies and Kirk Bevins, the usual large numbers were replaced with the "nasty" alternatives 12, 37, 62 and 87 (the latter two revealed during Episode S29, assuming they were the same in both episodes). Ironically, the use of the "nasty" large numbers statistically increases by some margin the likelihood that games will be solvable.

The format was used again for the two ZoomDown numberists specials.
