That Wednesday's FORGE puzzle asked for 160 from the tiles 2, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 9. The fewest merges is 3, and here is one way to get there.

One way to the target

  • 3 × 6 = 18
  • 9 × 18 = 162
  • 162 − 2 = 160

Tip for this puzzle: the solver found many ways to hit 160 in 3 merges, so your route can differ from this one. Work backwards from the target: ask which two numbers make it, then which make those.
