Nummit #148 — target 985 (Hard)

About this puzzle

  • The numbers: 2 large (75, 50) and 4 small (9, 8, 5, 3).
  • The target: 985 = 5 × 197. The nearest starting number is 75, 910 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 75 and 50 on the board, try combining the large numbers first and fine-tune with the small ones.
