That Thursday's FORGE puzzle asked for 270 from the tiles 2, 2, 7, 7, 9, and 50. The fewest merges is 4, and here is one way to get there.
One way to the target
- 7 − 2 = 5
- 50 ÷ 2 = 25
- 5 + 25 = 30
- 9 × 30 = 270
Tip for this puzzle: the solver found 168 ways to hit 270 in 4 merges, so your route can differ from this one. Work backwards from the target: ask which two numbers make it, then which make those.
