Sunday's FORGE puzzle asked for 859 from the tiles 2, 6, 7, 7, 25, and 50. The fewest merges is 5, and here is one way to get there.
One way to the target
- 2 × 6 = 12
- 7 × 25 = 175
- 7 + 50 = 57
- 12 × 57 = 684
- 175 + 684 = 859
One thing to notice in this puzzle: the solver found 22 ways to hit 859 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.
