4th numbers game: 942 8 5 9 7 4 6
Hint: 942 = 157 x 6
So problem becomes: 157 from 8 5 9 7 4
Solution below:

140 = 5 x 7 x 4; 140 + 9 + 8 = 157

If only the media would print news rather than following Twitter for their stories!

I did 104x9+6.
104 being [5x4-7]x8

Was quite pleased getting it in the time, it's rare I can beat Rachel.

EDITED to say, same method as Gevin's above.
