About this puzzle

  • The numbers: 2 large (100, 75) and 4 small (10, 9, 7, 3).
  • The target: 936 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 13. The nearest starting number is 100, 836 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 75 on the board, try combining the large numbers first and fine-tune with the small ones.
