    I pick the numbers at random (more or less) but I can see a straightforward solution.

    (100 +9) * 8 = 872

    (2+2) * 3 = 12

    872 - 12 = 860

    50 5 9 4 2 6

    Target 677

    I'm sure someone posted up the rules for this ...

    6 at random from a selection that has 2 each of all the numbers from 1 to 10 (both randomly distributed amongst two sets of two rows so you can choose somewhat strategically) and the "big numbers" of 25, 50, 75 and 100.
    7 4 13 40 15 9

    Target: 364

    13, 15 and 40 aren't possible choices.

    (9*40)+4 = 364 though.

    or
    75 - (2 * 4) = 67
    67 * 5 = 335
    335 + 2 = 337
