(100 * (6 + 1)) - 25 + (8 / 4) = 677

2 9 5 4 8 50 target 753

[reedit]I posted the answer and then edited it away. I'm an idiot.
9+4+2 = 15 * 50 = 750
8 -5 = 3
750 + 3 = 753

Ixoy, I'm only on page 25!

2, 5, 4, 5, 7, 100
Target: 666

Civilian_Target · 22-07-2004 03:03PM

100-5=95*7=665
5-4=1+665=666

Hobart · 22-07-2004 03:03PM

100 - 5 = 95

95 * 7 = 665

5 -4 = 1 + 665 = 666

Civilian_Target · 22-07-2004 03:32PM

No, I'm afraid there are people here who will wait hours for a solution, so you'll just have to wait....

Dave · 22-07-2004 03:35PM

I've gotten 945.

(75 + 4) * (8 + 4) = 948 - 3 = 945

Using a calculator I can get 943.5 I have till 5. Ah!!!!
