(7 * 7) * (6 * 3) = 882

882 - (10 +8) = 864

Closest I can get

The Muppet

5 7 7 9 25 75 --> 424


75 *5 = 375

7 *7 = 49

375 +49 = 424




5 7 3 5 75 100 target 333

Damian

5 7 3 5 75 100 target 333

5 * 75 = 375
7 * 100 = 700
5 + 3 = 8
8 + 700 = 708
708 - 375 = 333


Sorry about not posting a new puzzle last time.
Heres a tough one to make up!

That reads like 431 to me ...

You're right - 7 * 50 isn't 650. Mental note, don't play this game before waking up fully...

I think you meant to use your other 3 here

4, 6, 5, 8, 25, 2 : 365

(6*25)/2 = 75 - (8/4) = 73 * 5 = 365

A few problems there, the first one only pedantry - should be 50 + 7 not 50 * 7, we'll allow you that one. There was one 4 and two 3s' and you've used two 4s and one 3.

Not sure if it's solvable with the correct numbers:(

57*3 is 171. It was just a typo.

Its solvable but the solution I gave had a couple of typos.

I'd just worked a 14 hour day with no breaks, gimme some slack

Don't worry about it mate - Countdown is meant to be played in the afternoon, I didn't even notice that they were typos and not miscalculations.

Mental not, refer to previous mental note.

100 * ( ( 50 / 6 ) + ( ( 8 / 2 ) / 4 ) )

= 933.3333

My best effort so far....

ecksor

(100+(4*6))*8 = 992 - 50 - 2 = 940

Capt'n Midnight

(100-(6+4/50))*(8+2)=939.2

2 4 6 8 50 100 Target 939

100 * 50 = 5000

5000 / 4 = 1250

1250 + 2 = 1252

1252 * 6 = 7512

7512 / 8 = 939.

Try this one:

6, 4, 3, 10, 3, 7 -> 880
