CHOKED METTLE 5*100=500 MAILED and not brave enough for MOLDIER (I think ok under Geoff's revised rules?) PAIRS Pete's way (but I think it's 413 (1 off) not 414. Elegant solution Senaka! PARTING (5+4)*(100-2)+75=957 (2 off) and brilliant solution Senaka. How do you do that? x wasted time on -ING.
Thanks Mike. In the third maths solution, I tried to go as closer as the target. I realised that 6*100+5*75 is 16 away from the target. I had to get 16 from the remaining numbers 2 and 4. I then realised that 6*2+4 is 16 but 6 has been already used. I realised that I could use 6 again if I put it inside the bracket.
Thanks for the insight Senaka. Combining multiples of two large numbers is something I rarely attempt (mainly because of my own limitations). Great that you solved the 16 target by using the brackets. It's wonderful when that happens. Well done.

1. TRICKED
2. OUTLET
3. 500 = 5*100
4. MORALE
5. SAFARI
6. 414 = (75-9+3)*6
7. REPEATING
8. one off: 960 = 6*2*(75+5)

Well spotted mike, cheers :)
