Ten points to you, deuceswild.

Too bloody slow!

100 x 5 = 500

And ten points to you as well, PPPP.

someone else can do the numbers (please)

last few can get one away .

Target 952

At first glance I can get 953 = but it can actually be done (was taken from a youtube of countdown) .... no cheating people !!

e_e · 11-10-2013 01:07PM

Ha, I saw that one before and I think we'll be here for a long time before anyone works it out correctly (without watching the vid). :P

A clue: Aim high. Aim very very high.

let someone else pick one ...or do we settle for the 952

100 x (6+3) = 900
+50 = 950

75/25 = 3

950+3 = 953

someone else set the next one please

correct answer for the 952

(100+6) x 3 = 318

318 x 75 = 23850 - 50

23800/25 = 952

PippaChic · 11-10-2013 01:19PM

Sorry about that Corkbah!
I'm after spending the past 15 mins trying to work that out to no avail, and now I must make the kids dinner [blush emoticon]

Anybody mind if I throw up the next numbers- I'll check in later!
