Nummit #141 — target 462 (Hard)

This was the daily Nummit puzzle for July 20, 2026. The six numbers were 100, 75, 1, 9, 10, 5 and the target was 462. It is rated Hard, and the shortest solution takes 5 steps. Playing it here is practice mode, so it won't change your daily streak.

About this puzzle

  • The numbers: 2 large (100, 75) and 4 small (10, 9, 5, 1).
  • The target: 462 = 2 × 3 × 7 × 11. The nearest starting number is 100, 362 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 100 and 75 on the board, try combining the large numbers first and fine-tune with the small ones.
