Here is one i was tested with today,
Take these 4 numbers...9.9.9.and 9, now using all 4 numbers by adding,dividing, multiplying, or subtracting, turn them into exactly 100.
Matron gave me an extra toddy for solving this one.
Anyone got anymore we can try ?

99 seems to be the closest I get. I'm still figuring.

99+9/9=100

How about

Write down 5 odd numbers so that when you add them up they total 14
