    7 * 5 = 35

    75 + 35 = 110

    110 * 9 = 990 + 1 = 991

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

    7-1 = 6

    6x9 = 54

    54x 8 = 432

    4/4 = 1

    432 - 1 = 431

    Just too damn slow!

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

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

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

    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....

    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 :p
