Add Up- dice game

[eilu]

I used to play this one with my sister, can't remember the name anymore; we got it off one of those "activity kit" type toys that come with a booklet and a bunch of odds and ends.

Anyway, here goes:
Roll 3 1d6
By using simple maths, get as close to 21 as possible without going over. You can only add, subtract, multiply or divide.
edit: I realize you have to post twice in a row, once to roll and a second to make up your formula.

Example:

[dice]auucqodshy[/dice]
[dice]ghickhlbkf[/dice]

Eep, trouble with the dice codes! Anyway, the example is as follows:
Example:

Code:

[dice]bmdmwgggpc[/dice]
[dice]dhrycdfcwq[/dice]
[dice]uqsluqjedk[/dice]

let's say you get a 5, 3, and 4

on your succeeding post, you place
5*3+4= 19
(because 5*4+3 is over 21 and so on)

Anyone want to play?

Surely you can just edit the formula into your post?

Uhhh 5 + 6 + 6 is 17..?

I don't really understand how this works on a forum..

I think I got it...

[dice]cdhckiyhlz[/dice]
[dice]glrtngrtrc[/dice]

Edit:
3+4=7
7*3=21!

Hmm... Let's see

[dice]xsbumilhim[/dice]
[dice]tnstijibcs[/dice]
[dice]ewbvmdkyoi[/dice]

3*(1+1)=6

[Pardona]

Mmm... 6 isn't really close to 21, now is it?
Let's give this another go.

[dice]xslsrqozel[/dice]
[dice]ilomdsqtzy[/dice]
[dice]hqsfqmfglc[/dice]

(6*3)+3=21

Edit: This is too easy. Is there some way to make it more difficult?

o_o

Well, anyway, 4*4=16+3=19 (I don't think we can repeat numbers...)

[Pardona]

Well, anyway, 4*4=16+3=19 (I don't think we can repeat numbers...)

Ah, that would make things somewhat more difficult already.

6+4+1=11?

If you can use anything besides simple math... 4²+6-1= 21

[dice]lwhzadslnw[/dice]
[dice]loxtcaflzy[/dice]

(6*4)-6=18

[Rox]

Pardona: I don't think we can use anything beside simple math. Also, 4(6-1)=20

[dice]tnmqpyekwr[/dice]
[dice]scvqwhxgqh[/dice]
[dice]kunbhnckxv[/dice]

Well, via a bit of cheating...

6=3*2
6=3*2

3*3=9*2=18+3=21-2=19

5*5-5=20

[Pardona]

[dice]htcewtqdfm[/dice]
[dice]vvrbyusydz[/dice]
[dice]pqzhwxiehp[/dice]

(3+1)*5=20

[Siniri]

[dice]anwjdfwjve[/dice]
[dice]lcccssomcq[/dice]
[dice]gtihggxrzx[/dice]
(5+2)*3=21

[Siouxper]

[dice]wcrfcdanqp[/dice]
[dice]frbvwpwuxb[/dice]
[dice]fmewrfkpog[/dice]

3(3+1) = 12

[eilu]

you're right... not working very well in a forum... how's about whoever gets 21 gets to change the dice and number to aim for? Would that be better?

er... 6+6+6=18...
