Countdown

GuanYin · 2004-02-02 01:06:29

Thought this might be a laugh. If it works I'll sticky it. Basically its just like the Countdown numbers game, randomly pick 6 numbers from either 25, 50, 75 or 100 or 1-10 and a final number and post them. The rest of the posters have to try arrive at the total by addition/subtraction/multiplication/division with those…

As I understand it, the selection of numbers is as follows:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
25 50 75 100

Pick any 6 and a target of any 3 digit number.

(first post on the thread)
The first person to get the solution wins (or if its deemed impossible, the first person to get closest).
since I'm one away - we've to wait to see if someone solves it or not.

Just pick any 5 numbers from :

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

One number from:
25 50 75 100

and set a target between 100 and 999. Look at any examples here to see how it is done.

They don't have to be in that proportion. 6 could come from the top pair of rows just as 4 could come from the larger numbers.
