Speedrunning the New York Times Math Puzzle Digits (April 19)
The New York Times put out a new math puzzle last week called Digits, and it's pretty fun! Take six numbers, and using any of the four basic operations (and restricting yourself to operations that only output whole numbers), try to get as close as you can to a target number. Rinse and repeat five times.
I thought I would give speedrunning the puzzle a shot, and I was rewarded today with a particular easy set of five numbers. Lot of multiples of 5 and 11 ended up being involved, which was lucky.
We got all fifteen stars:
✖➗ Digits #10 ➕➖
15/15 ⭐ (15 operations)
What's your score today?
