The question reads, "I've been trying to solve this for a while now; chatgpt is too dumb to figure it out. You are given a set of numbers (1,2,7,8,50,75), and your goal is to reach the number '796' using the numbers given to you. You can use addition, subtraction, multiplication and division to reach the target number, you can only use each number once, and you cannot join the numbers (e.g. '1' and '2' cannot become '12'); how do you get to the target number."

This post was shared two days ago. Were you able to figure out the answer? If not, let us help you. Another Reddit user took to the comments section of the post and explained a possible solution. Here's what they said- "This is a countdown numbers section. 75+8=83 7+2=9

83*9=747

747+50=797

797-1=796. There you go"

Do you think this is the right answer?
