My issue with that is that Jon would have got it as well if the rules permitted it. But Jon followed the rules so he didn’t.

The fact that Richard nailed that 950 and you bastards didn't give him the points is a travesty and an injustice.

Yeah, who gives a shit about rules, huh?

[@CreedBrattonTheOffice]

@@LoneKharnivore If it could be done legit then I can get not giving any points but it was impossible, as far as I could tell the most you could get was 900 a few different ways. Since it was impossible they should've given points for creativity!

[@MJKFanatic]

It’s because he didn’t use all the numbers. He should’ve divided the 950 by the remaining 1 then points would’ve been obligatory

[@erikamaxine5199]

Whats funnier is that Rob said he got 24 by adding them all and even that was wrong as the answer is 23 10+5=15 3+2=5 2+1=3 15+5+3=23

[@CathyWeasly]

@@MJKFanatic No you don't have to use all the numbers but you are not allowed to use to the power of such as squared or cubed, which is why he didn't get the marks. It was very cool maths though!
