Numberists 3

The third numberists series started airing on 27 November 2025, primarily on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Under new management, the games have changed to doing Normal 20-round number games, with the final allowing the following variants:

Aegilops
Duckdown
Hyper
Octorock (Larges are 10 and 20, smalls are 1 - 9 (twice each), target is 100 - 999.)
Spoilage

A new tiebreak game occurred where the variant and number selection were chosen at random. This only started happening in one of the semi-finals due to technical errors happening beforehand, thus using a regular Countdown conundrum to split the two competitors.
