That's Numberwang!

[Robert Simpson]

952 = 900 + 50 + 2, so 900=100*6, 50<6*9=54, and 2=4-2, or rather 52=6*9-2. We multiple two numbers by 9 so (100+6)*9-2=952, we don't have 9 or 2 so must use 25,50, and 75 to transform them. 2=50/25,3=75/25, and 9=3*3. Putting these together we get (3*75-50)/25=9-2. So ((100+6)3*75-50)/25=952. How he would piece that together in a minute is beyond me

I scared myself when I did Bretts answer THEN looked at the comments.

half a minute... haha

I think an easier method would have been:

100 + 3 = 103

6 x 75 = 450

450 / 50 = 9

9 x 103 = 927

927 + 25 = 952

Sorry my mistake joke was on me

[Orberror404]

100 + 6 = 106

106 * 3 = 318

318 * 75 = 23,850

23850 - 50 = 23800

23 800 / 25 = 952

Actually, you're the retard.
