Mmm, I don't think so! That's a 10 not a 100

I think this works

10(75+8+5) + 3 = 883


I haven't seen the program in a long time, but I often thought they could give extra points if you were able to use all six numbers, e.g., if you did:

10(75+8+5) + 6 - 3 = 883


Does anyone know?

Tar.Aldarion

no extra points for using them all.

the tribute to richard whitely was on today

colin300

ye i grabbed a few minutes of it.

He certainly had some odd jokes especially the words he liked.

Hmmmmm, tough one.

I can get to 827 [((50+9)*(10+4))+1] or 830 [((50+9+1)*(10+4))-10], but that's it so far.

Sorry, man, you used a 4 twice there...

I've been messing with this one all morning, and can get 960 a million different ways and one way or 962. I'm not sure 961 can be done...
Did you have a solution, Meditraitor?

Can we just go back to this one for a sec.

Didn't you use the 4 twice?

No just picked numbers of the top of my head, I cant see the solution either

My apologies, I did use the 4 twice ..... it appears to be a tough one...I got 960 tho'

3x75 = 225 x 4 = 900

Again, apologies.....

Impressive. I'd been through this tons of times and missed that completely.

Meditraitor got in there just before me (with the exact same method)

There's still an unsolved one from Meditraitor on the board, so I won't put one up.

_Dubh_

5, 7, 9, 6, 1, 10 = 654

I can do it with indices, (is that allowed??)

7-5 = 2
10^2 = 100
100 + 9 = 109
109x6 = 654

Here's one for you....

Here without indices

Yep - same small numbers cropping up happens all the time on the programme. It's the numbers used more than once in the solution
which isn't allowed.

Well done on getting it. It wasn't meant to be easy.

New one...

[625] 1, 1, 10, 8, 6,10

And before anyone asks, yes, you can select all small numbers (which includes 10) on the programme.

I would bow at the feet of any person who can get this........... 626 is the closest possible in my opinion

Agent Smith

i can get 624
10 x 10 = 100
1+1=2
2 into 8 =4
6 x 4 = 24
100 x 6 = 600
600 + 24 = 624
