Nummit #1 — target 870 (Hard)

This was the daily Nummit puzzle for March 2, 2026. The six numbers were 100, 50, 6, 2, 10, 6 and the target was 870. It is rated Hard, and the shortest solution takes 4 steps. Playing it here is practice mode, so it won't change your daily streak.

About this puzzle

  • The numbers: 2 large (100, 50) and 4 small (10, 6, 6, 2).
  • The target: 870 = 2 × 3 × 5 × 29. The nearest starting number is 100, 770 away, so you have to build the target rather than start next to it.
  • Difficulty: It is rated Hard because the shortest route needs 4 operations and the target sits far from every starting number, so there is no quick shortcut.
  • Tip: With 100 and 50 on the board, try combining the large numbers first and fine-tune with the small ones.
