Gurgle

10 + 10 + 8 = 28 * (25+5+4) = 952

15 is not a valid number for this game

Civilian_Target

Again, that approach just doesn't work with a pen and paper...

That said, I cheated a bit to get my last one, I used windows calc to start it....

Gurgle

4*8*15 = 480 - 7 - (3 - 1) = 471

It isn't? I could swear I've seen it on countdown before. Either way, it shouldn't be that hard to solve. If you want it changed, I will.

[EDIT] Apparantly I don't have to

Nope. 1-10 And up to four numbers consisting of 25,50,75 or 100

Gurgle

5 6 6 8 1 50
Target - 782

(50+6)*(8+6) = 784 - 1 = 783

Gurgle

Time to declare that as a point for ecksor ?

Gurgle

Moving on....

3 8 6 2 5 75
Target - 834

Civilian_Target

3+8 = 11 * 75 = 825 + 6 + 5 = 836 - 2 = 834

Civilian_Target

1 4 5 7 9 100 - target 257

Gurgle

5 * 100 = 500 / ((9-1)/4) = 250 + 7 = 257

lisa.c

100/4=25
9+1=10
25*10=250
250+7= 257

Gurgle

9 5 4 6 3 25
Target - 365

lisa.c

25*5=125
125*3=375
6+4=10
375-10=365

Civilian_Target

5 * 3 = 15 * 25 = 375 - 4 - 6 = 365

Civilian_Target

Jeez, I just lost by less than 5 seconds.

lisa.c

1 3 6 7 8 25 600

Civilian_Target

3*8*25 = 600

Civilian_Target

1 2 5 8 9 75

target 191

Pacifico

(75 * 3) * (( 8 - 6)- 7) +1 = 600

Edit : Too slow....again

lisa.c

75-8=63*3=189+2=191

lisa.c

1 2 5 6 7 25

353

Civilian_Target

6+7+1 = 14 * 25 = 350
5-2 = 3
350 + 3 = 353

Civilian_Target

1 2 3 4 5 100

target: 67

Gurgle

5+4+2 = 11
11 * 3 = 33
100 - 33 = 67

Gurgle

5 9 1 7 3 75
Target - 747

Hobart

9 +1 = 10

10 * 75 = 750

750 - 3 = 747

Hobart

1 4 6 7 7 25

Target : 937

Gurgle

7 * 7 = 49 * (25-6) = 931 + 4 + 1 = 936
Best I can do.

Civilian_Target

Should have learnt you 13 times tables

6+7 = 13 *4 = 52
25 - 7 = 18
18 * 52 = 936 + 1 = 937

Civilian_Target

BTW, I suspected 52 * 18 would work out near the right number but had to use a calculator towards the end

Anyway:

1 2 7 8 9 50 - target 345

Gurgle

50 * 7 = 350 - 8 + 2 + 1 = 345

Gurgle

2 6 8 1 5 75

Target - 854

And I'm off to do some work.

Civilian_Target

75 * 5 = 375 + 2 = 377
8 - 6 = 2 * 377 = 854

Civilian_Target

1 2 4 6 8 25 target 646

Gurgle

8 * 4 = 32 + 2 = 34
25 - 6 = 19
34 * 19 = 646

Gurgle

8 9 2 5 5 25
Target - 274

I'm really going to do some work now.

Civilian_Target

25 *9 = 34 * 8 = 272 + 2 = 274

I've stopped doing them in my head and paper now

1 2 3 4 5 25 target 146

Dave

(9 + 2) * 25 = 275

5 / 5 = 1
______
274

Dave

Balls!

sikes

((1 + 2 + 3 ) * 25 ) - 4 = 146

Dave

(4 + 3) * (2 + 1) = 21
25 * 5 = 125

21 + 125 = 146

sikes

4 6 3 2 1 50

target 343

Dave

beaten again!

Dave

50 * (6 + 1) = 350
4 + 3 = 7

350 - 7 = 343

Dave

684

1 3 3 8 9 100

Civilian_Target

3+3+9 = 16
8 - 1 = 7 * 100 = 700 - 16 = 684

[EDIT] Doh, adding mistake. 3+3+9 = 15!

Civilian_Target

3*8=24
100-24 = 76
76 * 9 = 684
