25 + 10 + 2 = 37
37 x 10 = 370
370 - 6 = 364

Another stinker. Yay me.

doh.ie

(25*4)-(9-2)=93

I bet you thought you had to use all the numbers...!
Also, the target has to be over 100.

ahh, didn't know that!!
Cheers!

7 * 5 - (9 - 1) = 27
* 25 = 675 + 3 = 678

8 + 3 = 11 * 50 = 550 + 4 = 554

im going out on a limb and saying not possible.


EDIT: everytime its said to be un-doable someone does it

mayordenis

ill be honest my head was realy sore with this one for a while but

4 x 5 = 20
20 - 1 = 19

2 X 25 = 50
50 - 3 = 47

47 x 19 = 893

this was gratifying
im not gonna post a problem because it would of been awful.
anyone else feel free.

Boro

Because you all enjoyed the last one so much - here is another!

2 4 6 8 10 25

nice and easy - maybe

doh.ie

That 893 one was eeevil, so I had to go into hibernation.

This latest was the lesser of two evils.

(((((8+4)*6)+2)*10)+25)=765

You're wrecking my head doh.ie... any hints? The numbers seem too small...

Oh, dear, I kind of just pulled those numbers out of my head without checking how doable it was. I have come within a few of it, though, so I'm hoping it is. Will keep looking at it. Grr, does it count as a victory if you've posed something impossible?

Where's Boro? He'd normally have solved this and posted something horrible by now.

Working, unfortunately.

Cant crack it, but can get within 1 or 2 of it.

5 - 1 = 24 * 7 * 5 = 840 + 2 = 842

or

25 + 3 = 28 * (4 + 2) = 168 + 1 = 169 * 5 = 845


843 eludes me though!

doh.ie

Erk, probably should have given that one a test drive...

Feel free to move on to another.

Here you go so. Not the easiest but still not the hardest ive dreamt up. Enjoy!

Heads wrecked, (75-5)*(8+4)=840+10+2=852 :mad:

Damn, was stuck on that 853 one for ages.

(In case you're wondering, you don't have to use all the numbers
on the TV game, Ecksor.)

I wasn't wondering, the updated rules on this thread are actually due to me. I used 6 numbers because that was the solution I saw.

Apologies, Ecksor - just thought you might have wondered why we did it so quickly,
