The conundrum today was the fastest I have ever buzzed in (One second) playing along and it was certainly not fast enough for me to beat him in that round today, coupled with him beating me with VERSIONAL when I had AILERONS in R5 and the following round with a Boeing target (If you get what I mean...) after I so stupidly veered off by doing (5 x 4) + 3 instead of his method after getting 720 the exact same way!
1st Numbers alternative if you want to use up all six numbers: 25 x (100 ÷ 50) x 4 x (10 ÷ 5)

Both of them used too many brackets, so I think I can steal this one for myself.Zarte Siempre wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2018 9:44 pmWhich Mark already said, stop robbing.Adam Dexter wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2018 9:33 pmOf course, the *correct* way to do it is ((10 x 8) + 3) x 9Ryan Lam wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2018 2:58 pm Well done Philip once again!

They used superfluous brackets, but not too many. Too many suggests it's functionally incorrect.Gavin Chipper wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2018 10:05 pmBoth of them used too many brackets, so I think I can steal this one for myself.Zarte Siempre wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2018 9:44 pmWhich Mark already said, stop robbing.Adam Dexter wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2018 9:33 pm
