Given six numbers randomly selected from the list [1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6, 7, 7, 8, 8, 9, 9, 10, 10, 25, 50, 75, 100], calculate using only positive integers and four operations [+, -, *, /] a random number between 101 and 999.
Line 7 ⟶ 9:
Example:
Using: [3, 6, 25, 50, 75, 100]
Target: 952
Solution:
Line 18 ⟶ 21:
This is originally a 1972 French television game show. The game consists of randomly selecting six of the twenty-four numbers, from a list of: twenty "small numbers" (two each from 1 to 10), and four "large numbers" of 25, 50, 75 and 100. A random target number between 101 and 999 is generated. The players have 30 seconds to work out a sequence of calculations with the numbers whose final result is as close as possible to the target number. Only the four basic operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division can be used to create new numbers and not all six numbers are required. A number can only be used once. Division can only be done if the result has no remainder (fractions are not allowed) and only positive integers can be obtained at any stage of the calculation. ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Des_chiffres_et_des_lettres More info on the original game]).
The brute force algorithm is quite obvious. What is more interesting

Here is, with some minor modifications, a program I already wrote to solve this game. It gets the six values and the target value from the command line.
