Edit: These ones (using all the big numbers) are generally a bugger when on the telly - I can only get 574 myself (or 570 if I "cheat" and use a square root )

What's the norm here if it can't be solved?

75 * (100-25+1)/ sqrt(50*2) = 570

if it cant be solved, the person that gets closest to the target within an hour of posting is declared the winner. so thats you.

Okies, then...restarting:

(again, using random numbers)....
1, 3, 4, 7, 8, 75 ---> 931

supersheep

I've got 930, but there could be a 931 in it...
75 + 3 = 78
8 + 4 = 12
78 * 12 = 936
7 - 1 = 6

oops last one should read:-

Yeah I can only get 812 a different way :

8+6=14

16 * 50 =800 + 9 + 3 =812

or 814

9+8 = 17 * 50 = 850

6*3 =18 *2 = 36

and 850-36 = 814

go on angel you post a new one then

You guys give up easily!

Glad it worked out - I just picked random numbers and didn't check...

7 * 8 = 56
6 + 4 = 10
56 * 10 = 560
560 - 9 = 551

8, 4, 5, 2, 6, 25. Target 411

8 * 2 * 25 = 400

Pighead

1 out i'm afraid.
75 *(6*2)=900
(25/5)+8=13
900+13=913
This is not going to beat me,Pighead will return within the hour with the problem solved.Just have to root out Carols number first

Sorry, Pighead. Happened to be on the phone to Carol - you probably wondered why she was engaged...

Grats on 914, I was stumped. I had 913 (as above) and 915 (6*(8-2)*25+75/5)

Now: 2, 4, 6, 8, 25, 100....-> 747

This was a tad tricky....assuming it's ok to have interim steps that are not integers....

(100+25 -(2/4)) * 6 = 747

@meditraitor, I think yours should read:
