Gah! This was evil, evil, evil!

Glad you liked it

25 * 5 = 125 - 9 - 3 = 113 * 7 = 791

Less evil...

EEEEEEVIIIIIILLLLLL! (leave it with me)

doh.ie · 06-10-2004 04:01PM

*sigh* I have to say from the outset that I made Boro give me a hint after he PM'd me. I just couldn't take it any more! So no glory on this one.

((((25+2)*8)+6)*4)+7=895.

I cannot even summon the energy to come up with a good new
one, so you'll all have to settle for one you can do in 30 seconds.

It won't. Thanks for that. Appreciated.
But you can come back whenever we seem to be hitting our stride on easy ones and solving them too quickly!

thegills · 06-10-2004 04:17PM

(1*(2+4)*25*5))-9=741

doh.ie · 07-10-2004 02:50PM

New one of these is needed... Boro, come back, all forgiven.

1, 2, 3, 7, 9, 25

[881]

Boro · 07-10-2004 03:20PM

25 + 7 = 32 * 3 = 96 + 2 = 98 * 9 = 882 - 1 = 881 taadaa

Boro · 07-10-2004 03:21PM

doh.ie · 07-10-2004 04:30PM

It's almost as if you were never gone.

[923]

Boro · 07-10-2004 05:31PM

maybe i wasnt - i am a cyber-spirit of these boards, haunting the countdown thread

then again, maybe not!

10 + 2 = 12 * 75 = 900
5 * 4 = 20 + 3 = 23
900 + 23 = 923

(1+3)*5=20

500-7-2=491

Come on lads, these are getting too easy.

1,3,6,8,9,25 = 741

Boro · 08-10-2004 08:54AM

yup.. they are...

8 - 3 = 5 * 6 = 30 * 25 = 750 - 9 = 741

Boro · 08-10-2004 08:57AM

1 2 3 7 9 25
target : 722

Blame the fact that its still single digits in the morning time if you find this too easy

doh.ie · 08-10-2004 12:26PM

(((25+2)*(9*3))-7)*1=722

2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 100

Boro · 08-10-2004 01:21PM

The force is strong in this one.

p.pete · 08-10-2004 01:33PM

Is that possible?

My effort 8*(100-4)=768

<edit>

10/2=5
6-5=1
768-1=767:D

<edit>

Suppose I better give the next one:

3 7 9 9 25 25

target 264

Boro · 08-10-2004 01:42PM

9 * 9 = 81 + 7 = 88 * 3 = 264

Boro · 08-10-2004 01:43PM

2 4 6 8 10 75
target : 801

doh.ie · 08-10-2004 02:04PM

((75+4)*10)+(8+(6/2))=801

100, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6

488

Boro · 08-10-2004 02:32PM

100 - 10 - 7 = 83 * 6 = 498 - 10 = 488
