you are using two 8's .. and you can't use (10-2) to get the other one cause you already use the 2????

This is very similar to an earlier one, but here you go anyway:

(25 * 75) - 7 = 1868

1868 / (5-3) = 934

934 - 1 = 933

Now here's another:

1, 2, 4, 6, 10, 25 target 845

smiles · 13-02-2004 1:16am

Cant get it but:
4*6 = 24
+10 = 34
* 25 = 850
- 2 - 1 = 847

(this is gonna annoy me now!)

Fresh look:

+ 25 = 65 [edit: had 35 typed in not 25 -- typo on tranference from good old pen and paper!]

(6 * 2) + 1 = 13

Nice one Fio (presuming you meant 25 rather than 35 in the previous message!)

2 * 4 + 6 = 14
50 * 14 = 700
700 + 8 + 3 = 711

Here's another:

Close ((4 * 5) - (6 + 1)) * (50 + 2)= 676
Or ((4 * 5) + 6) * ((50 / 2) + 1) = 676

Or if indices were allowed (((4*5) + 6)^2) + 1 = 677

Hmm... no takers. I'll have to try it myself! It was tough enough...

Here's another hard one:
