    100-8 = 92.
    92 * (9-3) = 552.

    Should be 50+75 rather than 50+25

    50+75 = 125
    125×7 = 875 + 10 + 3

    Jesus, I thought I was losing it.

    Too many numbers. Only 6 are allowed for the game.

    Ill solve it anyway only using 6! Unfair advantage but anyway we can keep going:

    (75+25) = 100
    (100-3)*9 = 873
    7-6= 1
    873 -1 = 872 (and 1 left over)
