    Hmm... no takers. I'll have to try it myself! It was tough enough...

    (8+2) * 7 - 2 = 68
    68 * 6 + 9 = 417

    Here's another hard one:

    6, 6, 7, 25, 50, 75 target 879

    (definitely doable though.)

    10 - 2 = 8

    8 / 8 = 1

    (Sorry for the delay earlier; I thought Agent Smith had posted the right answer and was waiting for him to set a new puzzle.)
    10, 8, 4, 3, 3, 1 ---> 482
    ((10 * 8) + 1) * (3 + 3) - 4 = 482

    Here's another tough (but possible) one:


    4, 7, 25, 50, 75, 100 target 930
