Now:

3 5 5 1 9 7 ---> 973

Arg! I hate the little numbers!

Aineoil · 12-10-2013 05:42PM

9 * 3 = 27

27 * 5 = 135

5-1 = 4

135 + 4 = 139

139 * 7 = 973

Oops the target was 973,sorry

N = 3, 7, 6, 3, 7, 1

T = 723

I can't do the one I posted. Anyone else in the same boat? Maybe I am missing it completely?

I'm out by 3. Can anyone else do this one? I can get 720.

New numbers

N = 100, 18, 12, 4, 0, 1
T = 187

I'm new to countdown. Sorry. May I not use 0?

Amended numbers

N = 100, 18, 12, 4, 1, 1

T = 187

You can only use 1-10 as small numbers, and you can't do anything with 0 in the first place.

In the absence of a set of numbers can we move on?

Nearest I can get
6+8=14
50+8-3=55
14*55=770
770-6=764

e_e · 12-10-2013 08:08PM

8 + 8 = 16
16 * 50 = 800
800 - (6 * 6) + 3 = 767

I certainly didnt get this in no 30 seconds

10-8=2

25-2=23

23 x 7 = 161

161 x 6 = 966.

Phew!

Not exactly sure how to set these so excuse if rubbish-any corrections or input accepted

so 762 with 50 25 2 5 6 9

EDIT : DAMN it! I SWEAR I DIDNT COPY ARGH!!!!!!! hehe really! no!

5 x 9 = 45.

8 + 4 = 12 x 45 = 540 + 7= 547

25 10 7 6 4 3 362....(btw any tips for making these-its as hard as solving them for me- I dont want to make them too simple as to be dull...or impossible)

Cheers! I must have more faith in my own randomness then!

NP! It happens-even on Countdown. Acceptance is the key to not having a mental breakdown over the easy peasies
