About this puzzle
- The numbers: 2 large (100, 25) and 4 small (9, 6, 5, 2).
- The target: 821 is a prime number, so it can't be reached by multiplying two smaller whole numbers. The nearest starting number is 100, 721 away, so you have to build the target rather than start next to it.
- Difficulty: It is rated Medium: the shortest route takes 3 operations, with a few plausible-looking dead ends along the way.
- Tip: With 100 and 25 on the board, try combining the large numbers first and fine-tune with the small ones.
