    Can anybody help me understand this? I can’t make it be 196 or anything. I’m at a loss.

            Interestingly, all values within a difference of 10 were multiples of 3.

            If it’s limited to basic arithmetic (±*/) and no parenthesis, would there be any answer possible that’s not a multiple of 3? My first thought is telling me that common order of operations would make any equation using the numbers in the OP and the restrictions laid out would always amount to a multiple of 3.

                Oh yep, my bad. It’s always division that throws me in math expressions that have multiple steps to them.

            If we allow combining digits to make larger numbers (like kittehx’s edit) we can actually do

            (33*6) - (6/3) = 196
