MikeD Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 The host posts a random three digit number and 6 other number (four random from 1 to 10 and another two from 25, 50, 75 & 100) Then everyone else would have to use the six number to reach the three digit one using +, -, / and *. The first one to get the number wins, or the one with the closes total, and become the next host. For example 485 with 3, 4, 6, 9, 25, 100. 4*100 = 400 3*25 = 75 400 + 75 = 475 475 + 9 = 484. I will start: Total to reach: 524 Number to use: 2, 3, 7, 9, 50 & 100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curr3nt Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 523 = (100 * (7 - 2)) + 50 - (3 * 9) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curr3nt Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Question. Does the answer have to be an integer value? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curr3nt Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 523.777.... = ((50-3)*100+(2*7))/9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeD Posted June 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 No. Lets say rounded to the nearest 1000th. And I forgot to put in my first post that everybody is allowed only one try per round. (So its a question of timing. Do I put my almost answer there, or do I try to get closer and hope no one in the mean time post the almost answer.)
