Time to get that ball rolling again

1 3 7 7 7 25
Target := 840

ps my last one was never solved if anyone wants to give that a go still

yaledo · 30-08-2004 10:24PM

1 3 7 7 7 25: 840
( 25 + 7 + 7 + 1 ) = 40
40 * 3 * 7 = 840

Next: 75 3 2 8 8 5 : 659

Boro, do you think there actually is a solution to your previous one?
Edit, Yes there is: (((25 x 3) + (6 x 2)) x 9) - 7 = 776 I spent far too long on that.

Closest i can get is 890

75 - 5 = 70
9 + 4 = 13
5 * 4 = 20
70 * 13 = 910 - 20 = 890

Can it be done?

yaledo · 02-09-2004 06:43AM

When I posted it, i thought it could be done - i'm not sure now - I can get closer than 890, but not within the rules of the tv show

p.pete · 02-09-2004 07:12AM

Closest I can get is 884, so Boro is closer :mad:

Boro · 02-09-2004 08:17AM

Does that mean its unsolveable?

Well, if i got closest then here is another one.
