It doesn't work like that - see the first post in this thread.

I managed to randomly punch in a prime number as the target, so I'm not sure if it's doable. I got 648 : (2*6+8+7)*(25-1)

As to the problem above, I can get 780 (6*5*2*(4*3+1)).

I'll not post a new problem yet to see if anyone can get closer to 789.

6 + 2 = 8
8 * 7 = 56 + 25 = 81 * 8 = 648 - 1 = 647

cant get 789 but 792

5 * 2 = 10 +1 = 11 * 6 * 4 * 3 = 792

Will i put up new no ?

Why ask for us to get 782 when you cant ???

Yakuza

Read the first post - the target is *random*. Most of the time, I check that the target I set isn't trivial, but after that there are no guarantees there's a solution.

Anyhoo -
780 : (5+5) * 6 * (6+7)
785 : (7+5) * 6 * (5+6) - 7
