Countdown

Hobart

7 * 5 = 35

75 + 35 = 110

110 * 9 = 990 + 1 = 991

Hobart

1 4 4 9 8 7

Target 431

Civilian_Target

5x7 = 35 + 75 = 110 x 9 = 990 + 1 = 991

[EDIT] Damnit, too late.

Just too damn slow!

Hobart

25 * 8 = 200
200 - (7-5) = 198
198 * 5 = 990

(4*9)-5 = 31

Don't think you'll get much closer than that. I'm refreshed by my teabreak and ready for the next one...

(9+25) = 34

(3*9) - 4 = 23

23*34 = 782

782 - 5 = 777

(Oh ye of little faith/patience).

Bah, that's the approach that only suceeds with the assistance of a calculator, and not enough work to do

15 is not a valid number for this game

Civilian_Target

Again, that approach just doesn't work with a pen and paper...

That said, I cheated a bit to get my last one, I used windows calc to start it....

Gurgle

4*8*15 = 480 - 7 - (3 - 1) = 471

It isn't? I could swear I've seen it on countdown before. Either way, it shouldn't be that hard to solve. If you want it changed, I will.

[EDIT] Apparantly I don't have to

(50+6)*(8+6) = 784 - 1 = 783

Time to declare that as a point for ecksor ?

Gurgle

Moving on....
