Carol solves the harder 942 puzzle:
25*3=75
75+9=84
84/2=42
100*9=900
900+42=942

[@adrianadoyere1511]

Well done, Carol !

[@hadj0587]

Another way to solve 942
100x9=900
25-9-2=14
14x3=42
900+42=42

Carol Vorderman is slipping. She couldn't solve 885???.
It's a simple exercise in factoring: 15 and 59
8+7=15
8-6=2
25*2=50
50+9=59
59*15=885

[@adrianadoyere1511]

Well done !
