Although there are only 5 numbers in that puzzle and not 6, it's not too hard.

Apologies for such a difficult challenge (Or maybe it was just forum game inactivity, I hope this one picks up). The usual rules require you to solve it in 30 seconds. :P Anyway here's the solution if you would like to have a look at it.

(25+9)*9*2-8

I've thought of a slightly easier one.

Harrrrrrrrd.

Quote from: 613 solution
50 x 75 / (7-1) = 625. 625 - 8 - 4 = 613.

2 3 4 6 8 = 25 ... for warming up
2 3 4 6 8 25 = 768 ... for the real meat

Not as hard as the last one (I think)
Quote from: solutions

3*8-4+(6/2) = 25
(25-4-3-2)*6*8 = 768

"OK, can I have six small numbers please Rachel"

Next Target: 223

10, 6, 5, 9, 5, 4

5*9*5+4-6 = 223 (no need for "10")
I pass my turn for setting the next mystery-number...

This is totally unrelated but I thought I'll post this link to a prank they played on Richard Whitely on countdown back in the day.

This is a must watch as I found it quite funny.

Everyone was in on the prank apart from Richard Whitely who got pranked big time.
