Countdown

Ivan

The obvious:
((6* (50-5))-9)+4 = 265

I've yet to solve one fully

( 10 + 7 ) * 50 + ( 1 + 10 ) * 3 = 883 (not quite...)

Mixie

( ( 50 * 10 * 7 ) / ( 3 + 1 ) ) + 10 = 885


75, 10, 10, 9, 7, 1 ----> 348 (solveable)

Imposter

10 * 10 = 100 + 75 -1 = 174 * (9 - 7) = 348

3, 6, 5, 6, 2, 25 -> 581 (doable)

GuanYin

Lads.... the operators allowed in this game are addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. so Capt midnights solution up there is invalid.

Anyone circumventing this from now on will be disqualified (and their post deleted).


[edit] Just saw that capt was dragging the game back for that, never mind[/edit]

75 /6 = 12.5
12.5 - 1 = 11.5
50 - 3 = 47
47 * 11.5 = 540.5

a bit frustrating....

good man - pointing me in the right direction:D

(7 + 1) * 75 - 50 - 6 - 3 = 541

2 8 6 4 7 75 ----> 200

V1llianous

6 * 8 = 48 + 2 =50 * 4 = 200

75 * (4 + 1) - 3 - 2 = 370

(2x7 +3) x 25 = 425 + (3x2) = 431

[edit] Doh! Just pipped![/edit]

((50 + 3) * (8 + 2)) + 6 = 536

235 = (75, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 4)

V1llianous

( 8 - 5 ) = 3 * 75 = 225 + 6 + 4 = 235

_____________________________________

25, 10, 8, 4, 7, 4 = 626

henbane

((10 + 8 + 7) * 25 ) + (4 / 4) = 626

756 = 50, 9, 9, 7, 4, 2

The Muppet

756 = 50, 9, 9, 7, 4, 2

9*4 - 2 + 50 * 9 = 756


25 1 7 8 3 6= 781

henbane

(25 * (((7 - 3) * 8) - 1)) + 6 = 781

112 = 75, 7, 7, 5, 4, 1

What a cracking thread, I love this part of countdown!

henbane, chop chop and post a question!

ecksor

Henbane, it isn't clear for people subscribing to a thread when you edit your challenge into an old post ...

75 + ((7-1)*5) + 7 = 112

( ( 25 * 4 ) + 2 ) * ( 5 + 3 + 1 ) = 918 is closest i can get, but heres another anyway:

75, 50, 10, 25, 7, 2 ----> 701 (solveable)
