can get 922

= (10 + 2) * (9 * 8 ) + 50 + 8

= (12 * 72) + 58

= 864 + 58 = 922

Great minds

TedYNWA, I think you should have the honour of giving the next set of numbers

premier10 · 09-10-2013 07:33PM

I could only get 922,
Pippa, you throw up a set since you answered first

Alright I will, though Ted was nearer - I hope he doesn't take offence!

9+7 = 16 X 50 = 800

waaay off .... thinking cap is on backwards !!

getting closer .... slightly

50-2 = 48
9+7 = 16

48x16 = 768
5 x 5 = 25 (+768) = 793

Feck that's a tricky one, the best I can get is 832. :pac:

(100 + 2 + 1 +1) * (10 - 2)

Actually got 840:

(2 * 100) + 10
2 + 1 + 1) * (210)

But I'm seriously thinking that 837 might be impossible.

I'll start a fresh 'un:

Jaysus give it more than an hour

e_e · 10-10-2013 01:33PM

I just came to that conclusion when looking at it for a few minutes. You want to get to an odd number but the only odd numbers you can use are 1 and 1.

I'd be amazed if anyone gets it.

Make another 10/2=5

Go on sure, if no one can get it, go with yours

premier10 · 10-10-2013 01:45PM

Closest I got

100+2+2 =104*(10-1-1) = 832

Think e_e is closer

Answer to e_e
100+75 =175 -8 = 168
50/25 = 2
168 * 2 = 336
336+4 = 340

Can get 980

25 - 7 = 18 *50 = 900

= 900 + (10*8)

Any advances ?

Go Harvey Go · 10-10-2013 10:15PM

I think 980 is as good as it gets, somehow...

924 is also possible:

50 x 9 = 450
450 + 8 = 458
458 x 2 = 916
916 + 8 = 924

923 doesn't look possible, though.

And I think you're right to seriously think that.
