    9*75 = 675

    How can you multiply something by 3 to get 677 ?

    Wait a second, I see your confusion, check where my brackets are.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 321 ✭✭lisa.c

  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 93,126 Mod ✭✭✭✭Capt'n Midnight


    ((100+10)*8 ) +4 +2 =886

    100 2 3 8 4 10 --> 743


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,115 ✭✭✭Pacifico


    (100 + 10) + (4 -3) = (111 * 8) - 2


    Edit: Beaten to it

    50/2=25+(7/5)*75=1980
    square root of 8= (and this is to seven decimal places) 2.8255555
    1980-2.8255555=

    1977.1744

    The target number has to be between 1 and 999 so 1977 is out

    Lisa.C's game :

    75 - 9 = 66

    86 * 4 = 264

    344 + 2 = 266

    266 * 3 = 798


    1, 2, 7, 9, 9, 75

    467


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 321 ✭✭lisa.c


    75-9=64*7=448+18=466+1=467


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,064 ✭✭✭Gurgle


    1, 2, 7, 9, 9, 75
    467

    75 * (7-1) = 450
    9 + 9 = 18

    450 + 18 = 468
    Damn

    Just too damn slow!
