    25+50 = 75
    7-3=4
    10-4 = 6
    75*6 =450

    450 + 2 = 452

    4, 6, 2 25, 50, 75 : 544
    (6 * 75) + (2 * 50) - 6 = 544

  • Registered Users Posts: 3,216 ✭✭✭phreak


    100 * 5 = 500
    25 - 4 = 21
    21 * 4 = 84
    500 + 84 + 5 = 589

    The closest i can get to is 589


    25+4=29
    100/5=20
    29X20=580
    5+4=9
    580+9=589

    1 7 25 9 7 8 target: 318


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,216 ✭✭✭phreak


    (25 + 7) * (9 + 1) = 320
    8 - 7 = 1
    320 - 1 = 319

    argh... cant get any closer >_<


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 867 ✭✭✭l3rian


    7 x 7 = 49

    8 - 1 = 7

    49 x 7 = 343

    343 - 25 = 318

    have a 9 left over :)

    I'm pretty sure that the machine on the show picks numbers greater than 100 and less than 1000.
