I think you meant ((5*100)-25)+8) = 483

I prefered the way I said it better. Its mathmatically correct either way you'll find. 8-(-475)= 483

(50*(1+1)+4)*8 = 832

Don't know if 833 is possible. If 832 is the closest then:

6 7 1 5 5 75 T=741

1) 75 - 1 = 74
2) 5 + 5 = 10 *
= 740
3) 7 - 6 = 1

Total = 740 + 1 = 741

833. Its possible alright. I think 99% of them as deffo possible.

(50-1)*(8+(10-1)) = 833

heres the current one too

3*(7+(9+75)) = 273


Heres a tough one that was on countdown before. Only one solution. If you guys wanna pass it over, let me know and I'll post solution. Its doable though. should be a good challenge for some of you.

1, 2, 4, 7, 9, 10 T=831

Toy

(2+1)*(7*4*10)-9

It wasn't too bad, no awkward numbers to find at least. Anyway:

1, 2, 5, 9, 10, 25 T=859

Thanks 100gSoma!

As for my last numbers I've only managed one away so far...

yup, me too. 860 is best for me...

(1-5)*(10-(9*25)) = 860

Toy

I have one away in the other direction

2*(10+1)*(25+9+5)=858

100gSoma

yep. had a look again last night. I think thats as good as it gets. Go ahead and post a new one as you were closer first.

Toy

Yeah, I think so,

1, 3, 4, 7, 8, 75 T=484

977 is the closest I can get

stupid prime number

And let's say the slightly different, but even harder (I think...)

I think you have to post a new one when you solve the last.

i'll just do one...

(making it easy on myself, and ignoring the second 8!!)

It's a tough one. Best I can do is 990

25+3=28
7*5=35
35*28=980
980+4+6=990

Yakuza

One away the other way too...

(25*7 + 4*6) *5 -3 = 992

Toy

It's not impossible:

((3+(4*5))*6*7)+25=991

New one, kept me going but it has a solution:

2 2 4 6 6 8 T=337

8+6*6*4+(2/2)=337 ?

Yakuza

Well, it should be (8+6)*6*4+(2/2), to preserve conventional operand rules. but grats

Now...set us another target

Hm, random numbers it is

Ha ha, nice one:) I was wondering what was going on for a second or two.

That was tough, but I think this works

6*8=48
48*75=3600
3600/(4+1)=720
