    (4+7-6) * 5 * (8+9) = 425.

    1, 2, 25, 50, 75, 100

    Target...*picks a number at random*...571

    Edit: These ones (using all the big numbers) are generally a bugger when on the telly - I can only get 574 myself (or 570 if I "cheat" and use a square root ;) )

    What's the norm here if it can't be solved?

    (100-75-2)*25 - 1 = 574
    75 * (100-25+1)/ sqrt(50*2) = 570

    if it cant be solved, the person that gets closest to the target within an hour of posting is declared the winner. so thats you.

    Okies, then...restarting:

    (again, using random numbers)....
    1, 3, 4, 7, 8, 75 ---> 931


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 656 ✭✭✭supersheep


    I've got 930, but there could be a 931 in it...
    75 + 3 = 78
    8 + 4 = 12
    78 * 12 = 936
    7 - 1 = 6
    936 - 6 = 930

    Yeah I can only get 812 a different way :

    8+6=14
    +2
    16 * 50 =800 + 9 + 3 =812

    or 814

    9+8 = 17 * 50 = 850

    6*3 =18 *2 = 36

    and 850-36 = 814 :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 489 ✭✭derek27


    go on angel you post a new one then :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 91 ✭✭jorg


    You guys give up easily!

    8+9=17
    50-2=48
    48*17=816
    816-3=813


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,618 ✭✭✭Civilian_Target
