Could this happen?

In the numbers game, the calculator window doesn't allow you to commit to a value until you've selected an operator (+–×/). But what happens if the target is 100, and 100 is also one of the numbers picked? Technically, you can't solve it with the simplest solution. I know you can enter it in the initial window, but I just wondered what would happen if you didn't.

Has anyone ever had 100 = 100?

I don't think it's possible for 100 to come up as a target, same as on the show.

If you have the machine, though, you can get a target of 0. Cannot remember if I was allowed it just for pressing equals.

It can happen on Hyper though, with 150 or 200?

'Fraid not. Hyper targets are 4 figures, so the minimum is 1001 (actually might be 1000, I'm not quite sure).

Ah, I read somewhere that it generated 100-999. Must've got it wrong. Cheers. ;)
