Soloman Tump Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 Are you code breaking levels of number wangery? http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/5wkxjTtqRvq8Cyrrjxtk7tc/puzzle-for-today I will copy and paste the puzzles into this thread as they get published. Quote Puzzle 1. Take the digits 1,2,3 up to 9 in numerical order and put either a plus sign or a minus sign or neither between the digits to make a sum that adds up to 100. For example, one way of achieving this is: 1 + 2 + 34 - 5 + 67 - 8 + 9 = 100, which uses six plusses and minuses. What is the fewest number of plusses and minuses you need to do this? I can do it in 4. My answer so far Reveal hidden contents 123 + 45 - 67 + 8 - 9 Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide Soloman Tump's signature Hide all signatures https://intrusivesignals.blogspot.com/ Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/93535-gchq-number-puzzles/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
