= Input ĪctiveTool = doesn't know that you want it to interpolate numbers. Only the contestant whose solution is nearest the target scores.You can use Txt+ with Formula modifier(from Krokodove plugin). For example 760 or 780 for a target of 770.

5 points for getting within 10 of the target.

For example 765 or 775 for a target of 770.

7 points for getting within 5 of the target, higher or lower.

10 points for reaching the target exactly.

In this case, we would need to make 198 from the remaining numbers, which is not possible in this case. With very low targets, usually under 200, it's possible to use the large number last and add it on. In this case, we could do (75 − 6) × 4 which is equal to 75 × 4 − 6 × 4. So the game can be solved in the following way:Ī variation on this method is to add or take away a number from the largest number. Here, the closest multiple is 300 (75 × 4) which leaves a difference of 27 between 300 and 273. The most common technique is to find the closest multiple of the large number and make the difference with the remaining numbers. The most commonly chosen selection is one large number. Ironically, the use of the "nasty" large numbers statistically increases by some margin the likelihood that games will be solvable.

Of these, 10,858,746 (91.2%) are perfectly solvable 941,822 (7.9%) are impossible to solve perfectly but possible to score points in by being 10 or fewer away from the target and 104,889 (0.9%) are impossible to achieve any points in, with nearly all games in this last category featuring six-small selections.ĭuring Episode S26, a special between the 2009 series champions Chris Davies and Kirk Bevins, the usual large numbers were replaced with the "nasty" alternatives 12, 37, 62 and 87 (the latter two revealed during Episode S29, assuming they were the same in both episodes). Only addition, subtraction, multiplication and division may be used moreover, no fractional numbers or negative numbers may appear as part of a solution.ĭisregarding the order in which the working numbers appear on the board, there are a total of 11,905,457 different possible numbers games. The target can currently range anywhere from 101 to 999, although a most likely older version of CECIL generated 100 on several occasions, the last being in Episode 6405.Įach of the six chosen numbers may be used only once in any solution.

At yet other times, a contestant would give the arithmetician a free choice.Ī three-digit target number is then generated by CECIL, and the contestants have 30 seconds to make the target number (or as near to it as possible) from some or all of the six numbers. the inverted T), the number of cards to take from each row, or simply the quantities of large numbers (25–100) and small numbers (1–10). Contestants variously choose a specific pattern (e.g. One contestant chooses from where in this layout six numbers are to be picked.

The remaining three rows (currently) contain six, seven and seven cards respectively these cards are two each of the integers between 1 and 10 inclusive.

The top row contains four cards, which are 25, 50, 75 and 100.

The game involves a board of 24 numbered cards, initially arranged face down in a layout of four rows as follows: Example of one of Jon O'Neill's numbers games.
