    15 is not a valid number for this game


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,618 ✭✭✭Civilian_Target


    Again, that approach just doesn't work with a pen and paper...

    That said, I cheated a bit to get my last one, I used windows calc to start it....


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


    4*8*15 = 480 - 7 - (3 - 1) = 471

    It isn't? I could swear I've seen it on countdown before. Either way, it shouldn't be that hard to solve. If you want it changed, I will.

    [EDIT] Apparantly I don't have to :p

    Best I can do.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,618 ✭✭✭Civilian_Target


    Should have learnt you 13 times tables :)

    6+7 = 13 *4 = 52
    25 - 7 = 18
    18 * 52 = 936 + 1 = 937


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,618 ✭✭✭Civilian_Target


    BTW, I suspected 52 * 18 would work out near the right number but had to use a calculator towards the end

    Anyway:

    1 2 7 8 9 50 - target 345


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