In the task where they had to count the seats in the cinema Andy Zaltzman says "one" while he's talking. That should have been his accepted answer.

Ha! I thought the same thing and looked up the definition and "one", unlike "three", has meanings which are not related to the number:

I guess they didn't want to spend the ten minutes it would take Alex and Andy to have an unskippable grammar nerd cutscene!

I'm actually not sure if I would've called or not to be honest. I guess I'm hindsight the wording of the task would have needed to be more precise ("say anything that can be interpreted as a number").
