    OK, so it might not look as nice as Carol's, but it's less space and mathematically quite neat...

    Newest one still stands at:

    100, 50, 10, 25, 6, 7, [909]


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,807 ✭✭✭✭Orion


    100 + (50/10) + 25 = 130 * 7 = 910

    (100 + 50) * 6 = 900 + 25 - 7 - 10 = 908

    :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,207 ✭✭✭meditraitor


    25 + 100 = 125
    125 x 7 = 875
    875 + 50 - 6 =919
    919 - 10 = 909

    You can't have two 25's. So do my one instead ;)

    A very tough one. Can it be done, do you know, Meditraitor?

    I can do 720 a couple of ways, e.g.

    2/2 = 1
    6+4=10
    10-1 = 9
    8*10 = 80
    9*80 =720


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 489 ✭✭derek27


    6-1+4=9
    8+6=14
    100 x 9 = 900 + 14



    4,2,2,6,8,10
    721
    i can get 720...

    2+6=8X8=64+6+2=72X10=720

    Excellent!! Division is certainly allowed.

    Your turn to post one up, thegills

    100 / 4 = 25
    50 x 25 = 1250
    1250 + 2 = 1252
    1252 x 6 = 7512
    7512 / 8 = 939
