Mental Math Gymnastics on "Countdown"
----------------------------------------Countdown is a British TV game show revolving around words and numbers. In the numbers round, contestants select six of twenty-four shuffled tiles with numbers on them. and his rather unusual way of arriving at the target number of 952. One YouTube user suggested a different way: 6 x 75 = 450; 450 รท 50 = 9; 100 + 3 = 103; 9 x 103 = 927; 927 + 25 = 952 What about you? Any more suggestions?

If the sums have to flow it's elegant, which the first sample doesn't. Still in 30 seconds is impressive... training tables in their dreams. :D
