What i used to love about these games were there is so many different ways of coming to an answer... there is usually at least 2 valid methods of coming to the solution...

Hint :

You may need to go wayyyy up and come back down to it. I cant find another way to solve this? Not as hard as Javaboys but similar

No no... your fine.. i trust you!

I wrecked my head enough to find that way .. i dont need another.. im happy..

Damn you Javaboy.. why did you put down a challenge!...

I can get to 291 but cant find another way... leave it with me... grrrrrrrr

*wipes sweat from forehead*

100 -1 = 99
99 * 75 = 7425 :eek:
7425 / 25 = 297
50/10 = 5
297-5 = 2 9 2 :cool:

It was actually pretty similar to my initial solution.. i just couldnt see the wood through the trees though... I think i need to leave this forum or ill get no work done... scraps of paper all over my desk with maths on them now.. haha

Im leaving this thread before it gets me fired...

The solution to the above is:

50 + 7 = 57
57 * 25 = 1425
1425 * 3 = 4275
4275 - 3 = 4272 / 6 = 712

Whats the numbers and whats the target?

Can we just set a new target and new numbers?

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

could u not multiply your answer by 1 to use your '1'?
anyway, I think your calculations are out??... its 749 not 479
