    Couldn't get any closer,personally....but there is a solution.

    Got 1 away

    3 3 7 1 75 25

    831

    25-3 =22
    22/(3-1)=11
    11*75=825
    825+7 =832

    3 3 7 1 75 25

    831

    (75 + 3) * (25 + 7) / 3 - 1 = 831

    N 1 2 3 4 25 100
    T667

    Seeing as no solution has been posted since yesterday, I'll presume to make a new one:
    Numbers: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 75
    Target: 678

    PS: found a solution for yesterday after all.
    (25-2)=23
    (100/4)=25
    (25+3+1)=29
    (23x29)=667

    Can get within 1.

    10+8 = 18

    18/2 = 9

    9x75 = 675

    675 + 6 = 681

    681 - 4 = 677

    Typo, that last '8' should be a 6.
    Well done!

    821+10+1=832

    Edit: Dam too slow...

    (100 + 3) x (7 + 1) = 824
    824 + 8 = 832
