There's only two fours.

Whoops sorry, hungover to pieces.

Then closest I can get is 810

4*4*50+8+9-7 = 810

yaledo

4 8 9 7 4 50 target = 811

There are so many ways you can get near 811 by multiplying ~16 by ~50, that in a 30 second game, you probably wouldn't think of trying the 2-stage multiplication with the 4's.

50 x 4 = 200
200 + 9 - 8 = 201
201 x 4 = 804
804 + 7 = 811

Embarassing, It looks like I have taken a full five minutes to work that out. I didn't - just too relaxed to give a sheit

Apologies for the extra challenge: last time I posted the phone rang and I forgot to post another challenge :eek:

75 + 25 x (5+3)=800 +(6*7)=842

You are supposed to post a challenge when you solve one.

6 7 9 2 3 25
target 776

(6*7)-9-2= 31*25=775
