Salad

Can you make the number 914 by combining

2, 3, 7, 8, 9, 10

using addition, subtraction, division, multiplication.

I can't !

1905

916 is best I can do and I am off to a meeting boo

3+7 =10
x 10
=100
x9
=900
+ 2x8
916

AFKABartram

ahhh, can get 913 and 915

Salad

me too
eg 8+3=11, 10+2=12 - and 11 * 12 =132

132*7=924, take away 9 = 915

This is from yesterday's Guardian supplement - anyone got today's for the answer?!!

AFKABartram

i've got the answer, is anyone still working on it and don't want me to post it ?

Salad

Clever clogs - can you give me a clue rather than the answer? Whisper it perhaps?

kigelia

8-3 = 5
5 * 10 = 50
50 * 9 = 450
450+7 = 457
457 * 2 = 914

AFKABartram

the last part of the equation is times 2

Salad

AFKABartram
