Nummit #115 — target 494 (Hard)

About this puzzle

  • The numbers: 2 large (75, 25) and 4 small (9, 8, 3, 3).
  • The target: 494 = 2 × 13 × 19. The nearest starting number is 75, 419 away, so you have to build the target rather than start next to it.
  • Difficulty: It is rated Hard because the shortest route needs 5 operations and the target sits far from every starting number, so there is no quick shortcut.
  • Tip: With 75 and 25 on the board, try combining the large numbers first and fine-tune with the small ones.
