This was posted on the previous page. Any takers?

strassenwolf · 04-07-2005 09:20PM

Hmmmmm, tough one.

I can get to 827 [((50+9)*(10+4))+1] or 830 [((50+9+1)*(10+4))-10], but that's it so far.

Sorry, man, you used a 4 twice there...

I've been messing with this one all morning, and can get 960 a million different ways and one way or 962. I'm not sure 961 can be done...
Did you have a solution, Meditraitor?

Can we just go back to this one for a sec.

Didn't you use the 4 twice?

No

just picked numbers of the top of my head, I cant see the solution either

_Dubh_ · 05-07-2005 12:18PM

My apologies, I did use the 4 twice ..... it appears to be a tough one...I got 960 tho'

3x75 = 225 x 4 = 900
2x5 = 10 + 50 = 60

Again, apologies.....

Impressive. I'd been through this tons of times and missed that completely.

_Dubh_ · 05-07-2005 01:07PM

Meditraitor got in there just before me (with the exact same method)

So we are back to this from Meditraitor:

1,2,4,6,100,50

_Dubh_ · 05-07-2005 01:14PM

100 + 1 = 101 x 4 = 204
(6-2) x 204 = 816

1,2,3,4,5,75
t = 687

meditraitor · 05-07-2005 01:17PM

4 + 5 = 9
1 + 75 = 76
9 x 76 = 684
684 + 3 = 687

There's still an unsolved one from Meditraitor on the board, so I won't put one up.

_Dubh_ · 05-07-2005 02:10PM

5, 7, 9, 6, 1, 10 = 654

I can do it with indices, (is that allowed??)

7-5 = 2
10^2 = 100
100 + 9 = 109
109x6 = 654

Thanks man, :rolleyes:
Don't think it's allowed but hey......
Here's one for you....

Here without indices

7 x 9 = 63
5 -1 = 4
10 x 63 =630
6x 4 = 24
630 + 24 = 654

Cant repeat numbers D (9,9) as far as I know

_Dubh_ · 05-07-2005 02:30PM

Nice man...nice.... :cool:
Didn't know about the repeats either......

How about this:
