Trying to puzzle this one out while looking at a still from (I think) "The Breakfast Club" is not easy, Toasty

Always a fan of Molly Ringwald

Is that possible? I can get 669, but the way to get to 667 is 23*29 and as far as I can see, that can't be done with the numbers you've given.

Civilian_Target

I'll downgrade to 666
8+1=9
25*(2+1)=75-1=74
74*9=666

Unless someone hits it, try this:
3,4,6,6,7,75:567 (this one is doable)

I don't know, I pick numbers at random.

Dunno TBH, I just picked random numbers.

Fair enough - I'm going to go with "no" so, and call the next one.
