Does the order the values are taken out in a near perfect (i.e. one of the Power 5 and the rest blues) affect the offer at the end of that round?

Evidently, this only really applies to rounds where 1 big value and 2 low values are taken out (or 1 big and 4 low if it is in the 1st round), and obviously, from a mathematical point of view, it makes no difference at all, but from a psyhological point of view, it could do.

Say if the values in round 1 taken out were: £250,000, £1, 50p, 10p, 1p - it could be said that after a disastrous start, the player's luck is turning from bad to good.

If the values taken out were: 1p, 10p, 50p, £1 and £250,000, the banker could play on the fact the last box was the £250,000 and claim the player's luck has just gone, and lower the offer as a result.

I think it certainly has a psychological effect on the player, but does it affect the banker's offers?

It'd probably be hard to tell these days, though, what with the banker's offers varying so dramatically from game to game!

I'm going to say 'it used to'. I noticed it before in rounds with a single blip, but if it's there now it's lost among the other factors.

There's no question that it does. It is better to take out the big number in the first box rather than the last in the round as the psychological momentum is left with either the banker or the contestant. Even Noel's approach changes, and there is a definite sense of positive expectation if the round ends with a blue, almost regardless of what has gone before.

no, definately not, it doesn't matter what order the numbers have gone (in each round e.g. if 50p £3k and £35k went, ithe offer would be the same even if £35k 50p £3k or other variations)

well when the banker rings, theres a better atmosphere if the round's gone £100k blue blue, than blue blue £100k so I think there are some places where the offer might change a little.
