ok, so you think you are huh!!! :nah: thought this might catch on!!! rules are very simple....... you can only use each number once + only standard maths symbols,,,,,,, e.g === add, subtract, multiply + divide!!

so here is an easy one to start with (always 6 numbers chosen from 1 to 9 and 25,50,75,100)

here we go,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, 50 - 7 - 7 - 7 - 3 - 1 and you must get 175 :radar: (anyone spot the hidden fruit machine amongst the numbers???) haha

7+1 = 8, x7 = 56, x3 = 168 and add the other 7 = 175, the 50 isnt needed

Where you came from, is gone.
Where you thought you were going, was never there.
And where you're at right now, aint no good, unless you can get away from it.
