If you're from the UK you're probably familiar with this sort of thing from watching Countdown. Countdown used to be quite popular in my house and these math puzzles were always my favourite puzzles. If you're unfamiliar with the game here are the rules:
1 - There is a TARGET number
2 - You are given 6 other numbers which you use to obtain the target number
3 - You don't have to use all the 6 numbers but you're only allowed to use each one once
4 - You can only use the 4 basic principles of maths - addition, subtraction, division and multiplication
For this competition I want you to work out (at least) TWO of the problems below. When you're finished, PM HabboxComps (http://www.habboxforum.com/private.php?do=newpm&u=66405) with your answer. Good luck!
1.Target - 172
Numbers to use - 100, 3, 4, 2, 8, 1
2. Target - 915
Numbers to use - 4, 7, 9, 9, 75, 100
3. Target - 662
Numbers to use - 50, 75, 9, 6, 9, 2
Prize: 5 credits + 10 rep
