[[(5 x 100) + 75 + 25]/100] + [25 - 5 + (8 x 5)] + [(5 x 100) + 75 + 25] = 666

Re: The ------- of The Beast
you can only use each number once. It is possible, though.

I like this challenge. I have my doubts about my ability to solve it though.

pixelated because he doesn't want to be identified as the one who opened the Amazon package of The Beast? ;)

Re: The ------- of The Beast
Even better: this guy runs it for you:
Solution it came up with:
75 - 8 = 67
50 / 5 = 10
67 * 10 = 670
100 / 25 = 4
670 - 4 = 666
OR... [(75 - 8) * (50 / 5)] - (100 / 25)

Re: The ------- of The Beast
That's intense.
Do you think these are figured out by running through many permutations very quickly, or through intuition // "seeing" the pattern?

Re: The ------- of The Beast
a bit of both. It's hard to tell because by the time she's writing it down, the 30 seconds are up, she's already done it and is just reporting, so you don't "see" her working it out. But I spot patterns in the the different approaches she uses and I've been able to apply that to improve my own skills. This is very close to my PhD thesis topic -can you tell?

Re: The ------- of The Beast
Dear math friend.
I don't have the answer to your puzzle, you sadist you.
But, I do hope you find a little pleasure or enjoyment from this (beast# unrelated) video.
