I'm hopeless at these, but I'll have a go!

50 x 4 = 200
200 + 50 = 250
7 + 8 = 15
250 + 15 = 265

Do I have to use the 6?

premier10

no
give us the next set

Ok thanks. So was I right? This is a miracle if I was. I am really hopeless at maths.

Anyway here goes

100, 7, 10, 2, 4, 1

Target 568

It's a bit easy, sorry.

You were correct.

100*(4+1) = 500
500-2 = 498
498 + (7*10) = 568

I'm stumped, this is the nearest I can come up with

50-2= 48
4x4= 16
48x16= 768 + (8x2)
768+16= 752

Can anybody do better?

50- 4 = 46
46*8 = 368
368*2 = 736
736-4 = 732
That's the closest i'm getting, maybe i'm missing something as well

I don't think it's possible to get 733, somehow...
