The obvious:
((6* (50-5))-9)+4 = 265

I've yet to solve one fully

Mixie · 06-02-2004 09:31AM

( ( 50 * 10 * 7 ) / ( 3 + 1 ) ) + 10 = 885

75, 10, 10, 9, 7, 1 ----> 348 (solveable)

Imposter · 06-02-2004 10:03AM

10 * 10 = 100 + 75 -1 = 174 * (9 - 7) = 348

3, 6, 5, 6, 2, 25 -> 581 (doable)

GuanYin · 06-02-2004 10:33AM

Lads.... the operators allowed in this game are addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. so Capt midnights solution up there is invalid.

Anyone circumventing this from now on will be disqualified (and their post deleted).

[edit] Just saw that capt was dragging the game back for that, never mind[/edit]

75 /6 = 12.5
12.5 - 1 = 11.5
50 - 3 = 47
47 * 11.5 = 540.5

a bit frustrating....

75*8=600

good man - pointing me in the right direction:D

(7 + 1) * 75 - 50 - 6 - 3 = 541

V1llianous · 06-02-2004 03:49PM

6 * 8 = 48 + 2 =50 * 4 = 200

4, 8, 75, 3, 2, 1 >370

p.pete · 06-02-2004 03:54PM

75 * (4 + 1) - 3 - 2 = 370

3 7 7 2 1 25 = 431

dudara · 06-02-2004 03:57PM

(2x7 +3) x 25 = 425 + (3x2) = 431

(7*2) + 3 = 17

17*25 = 425

425+7 = 432 - 1 = 431

[edit] Doh! Just pipped![/edit]

((50 + 3) * (8 + 2)) + 6 = 536

235 = (75, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 4)

V1llianous · 06-02-2004 05:17PM

( 8 - 5 ) = 3 * 75 = 225 + 6 + 4 = 235

25, 10, 8, 4, 7, 4 = 626

henbane · 06-02-2004 06:21PM

((10 + 8 + 7) * 25 ) + (4 / 4) = 626

756 = 50, 9, 9, 7, 4, 2

The Muppet · 06-02-2004 06:35PM

756 = 50, 9, 9, 7, 4, 2

9*4 - 2 + 50 * 9 = 756

What a cracking thread, I love this part of countdown!

henbane, chop chop and post a question!

ecksor · 06-02-2004 07:05PM

Henbane, it isn't clear for people subscribing to a thread when you edit your challenge into an old post ...

75 + ((7-1)*5) + 7 = 112

( ( 25 * 4 ) + 2 ) * ( 5 + 3 + 1 ) = 918 is closest i can get, but heres another anyway:

75, 50, 10, 25, 7, 2 ----> 701 (solveable)

Nothing to see here... (thought indices were allowed)...
