    Gah - I knew that seemed to simple after strugging with it for about 5 mins the first time! Probably should start using a calculator instead of a pen.

    Here's a calculator-assisted answer :)
    50+6=56*2=112
    4+3=7*112=784+5=789

    7-1=6
    100+50=150
    150-5=145
    145*6=870
    870+2=872

    1,3,5,5,6,9>>>>783

    6*5=30-1=29*3=87*9=783

    1,2,6,7,25,75:433

    Solution:
    25+6 = 31
    31*7=217
    217*2=434
    434-1=433



    Numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 50, 75
    Target: 931

    OK - that was really nasty, took paper and calculator, but...

    75-1=74*50=3700/4=925
    3*2=6+925=931

    1,5,7,8,25,100:587


  • Registered Users Posts: 19,396 ✭✭✭✭Karoma


    7-1 = 6
    100 *6 = 600

    8+5 = 13

    600 - 13 = 587


    Next:
    Numbers: 2, 3, 4, 7, 25, 50
    Target: 587

    solution:

    2 * 9 = 18
    (18 - 1) * 25= 425
    425 + 3 + 5 = 433

    25 , 75 , 2 , 6 , 7 , 9 >>> 773

    oh my god thta drove me nuts, I'm out of practise!!

    75 - 1 = 74
    74 * 10 = 740
    740 + 50 = 790
    3 - 2 = 1
    790 - 1 = 789


    Next: -

    numbers: - 1,3,5,7,9,25
    target: 721


  • Registered Users Posts: 19,396 ✭✭✭✭Karoma


    numbers: - 1,3,5,7,9,25
    target: 721

    7*5 = 35 + 25 = 60 * 12 = 720 + 1 = 721

    target: 721

    50 * 9 = 450 + 10 + 8 + 5 = 473

    (Must one use all numbers?)



    edit:
    Alternative solution(Using all numbers):
    10+1=11*5=55-47*423+50=473

    No need to use all numbers, Carol doesn't :)

    3*50=150+6=156*(4-1)=468+5=473

    Awkward:)

    100+75=175
    50+9=59
    175*59=10325/25 = 413

    Allow me to repay the favour:

    Target: 413


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,955 ✭✭✭_Whimsical_


    75 - (100 / 50) = 73
    73 * (3 * 2) = 438
    438 - 25 = 413

    3 , 6 , 25 , 50 , 75 , 100 >>> 346
