6x75=450
100 divided by 50=2
450 add 2=452

If you knock the 25 off the required answer you're left with 927, which is (9 x 100) + (9 x 3) or 9 x 103.

You've got an easyish 9 (75 x 6 / 50) and you've got an easy 103 (100 + 3).

100 + 3 = 103
75 x 6 = 450
450 / 50 = 9
9 x 103 = 927
927 + 25 = 952

So there's an easier way, but the way that bloke went was scarily impressive in 30 seconds!

clappp clappp clappp

Tell me - is there a reason why you are the board statistician sctatchinghead

I've learnt something very useful from this thread.

Don't mess with numbers when you've had a drink.
