      I mean jaysus lads, I got an A in applied maths hons and B1 in maths hons in LC ...did applied physics in college, but this **** is impossible... in 30 seconds even 30 minutes some of them I wouldn't get ...

      (8+4)*75 = 900
      900 - 9 -2 = 889




      Wow ... must have been an easy one!!

      75*10 = 750
      8*4 = 32



      750 - 32 - 2 = 716


      Another easy one, or i got lucky ?

      Anyway, the first few were really tough ... I suppose it's too tempting to look at the next post for the answer :D

      Can't get 474, closest I can get is 476 ... anyway nice way of doing mine , I had :


      75*(3+1) = 300
      300 +9 = 309
      6-4 = 2

      309*2= 618

      94? It needs to be between 100-1000.
