Nummit #81 — target 729 (Hard)

This was the daily Nummit puzzle for May 21, 2026. The six numbers were 50, 25, 4, 6, 6, 2 and the target was 729. 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 (50, 25) and 4 small (6, 6, 4, 2).
  • The target: 729 = 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3. The nearest starting number is 50, 679 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 50 and 25 on the board, try combining the large numbers first and fine-tune with the small ones.
