Do you want them with the numbers problem visible so you can have a go at solving it? If you look closely, there are some numbers in this pic:

( 100 + 1 ) x 4 Or several other ways. Can we have a harder one please?  _________________jonbwfc's law: "In any forum thread someone will, no matter what the subject, mention Firefly." When you're feeling too silly for x404, youRwired.net

(50 +1) x (6 + 4) + 8

 Problem with the numbers puzzle is that contestants almost always pick 1 large and 5 small so they tend to get repetitive.

Easy
((9-6) * 8) * 25 +(5+2) = 607

Amazing. If only contestants would pick more than one large number we might get more of this sort of thing.

That was rather fun, although he did stutter rather so you couldn't help thinking he couldn't quite believe it himself! I got the same "one away" pretty quickly, but would never have come up with that piece of crazy golf. Very inventive. _________________jonbwfc's law: "In any forum thread someone will, no matter what the subject, mention Firefly." When you're feeling too silly for x404, youRwired.net
