Later on, Rachel got a cracking solution (out of time) to 25 50 75 100 4 6 target 666.

I was so locked-in to the correct easy answer I didn't see that.

100 75 50 25 7 10, target 570.

( 7 x 75 ) + 50 - ( 100 / 25 )

Huh? (50 + 7) x 10
Or have I missed the point?

Probably won't get that one in a month of Sundays!

Yes.
BH said the dim wits couldn't get 570 but got 571. I said I can only see 571 from the easy 570. You quoted what BH posted as the dummkopf's 571 "solution".

Except I can't see what/where he posted. (I'll go back to poking at DVB tables - it's less complicated.)

Post 538 onwards, it's a simple enough conversation if you don't skip bits! No, I didn't post the 570 solution, it being blindingly obvious.
