    i thought you had been chosing prime targets or odd multiples of primes and only giving us even numbers to make it hard, which it has been!

    dunno how they do it without the calculator :eek:

    2 3 5 25 25 100

    target: 746


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,328 ✭✭✭Sev


    (50+4) x (2+7) - 7 = 479

    Do you have to use all the numbers? cos I didnt use '1' in that solution.

    (2x3x5x25) - (100/25) = 746

    anyway, going to be slightly presumptuous here and pose this one:

    2 2 6 10 50 100

    Target: 473

    ( 10 * 50 ) - ( ( 100 / (6 - 2) ) + 2 ) = 473

    (7+7) * 2 = 28 + 2 + 1 = 31 * 25 = 775

    (I'm sure that someone else saw this already, but since nobody else posted :p )

    (1+7) *25 = 200

    (200 - 7) * (2*2) = 772

    I think thats probably the closest.

    4, 1, 2, 9, 10, 75, Target 646

    sorry, think that's wrong:mad:


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,267 ✭✭✭p.pete


    9 * (75 - 1) - ( 10 * 2) maybe?


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,076 ✭✭✭parasite


    (75 - 10) * (9 + 1) - 4 = 646


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,267 ✭✭✭p.pete


    3, 2, 6, 4, 3, 50

    Target: 137


  • Registered Users Posts: 33,519 ✭✭✭✭dudara


    (50*3) - (6+4+3) = 137


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,076 ✭✭✭parasite


    (50*3)-6-4-3=137


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,267 ✭✭✭p.pete

    (10+8) * (50-4) = 828 + 25 - 5 = 848


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,076 ✭✭✭parasite


    ((50+8)*(10+5))-25+4=849

    100, 25, 6, 9, 2, 3 -> 573


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,328 ✭✭✭Sev


    (100x6) - 25 - 2 = 573

    This is tough, but doable.

    (25 * 9) - (7 * 2) = 211
    * ( 2 +1) = 3
