The Friday FORGE puzzle asked for 715 from the tiles 1, 4, 8, 8, 9, and 25. The fewest merges is 5, and here is one way to get there.
One way to the target
- 4 × 9 = 36
- 8 × 8 = 64
- 1 + 64 = 65
- 36 − 25 = 11
- 65 × 11 = 715
Solving note for this puzzle: the solver found six ways to hit 715 in 5 merges, so your route can differ from this one. Work backwards from the target: ask which two numbers make it, then which make those.
