ants09, just a reminder of the rules, you have a choice of numbers 1 - 10 * 2 and 25, 50, 75, 100 - so the posts with 3of the same numbers are slightly bending the rules

Original solution was

50 ÷5 = 10
306+5+10 = 321

1 2 4 6 50 100

But that uses 5 twice (bolded)

If you do this
(3x(100+2)) = 306
50 ÷5 = 10
306+ (25 - 10) = 321

you get there.

I meant in your solution to the 552. There's no 10 but you have one in there. That's why I answered it.
