Courses Plus Student 94,610 PointsThe example you gave isn't supposed to work. You've used number literals.
The instructions state that you can only use the 3 variables and the common numeric operators. You can't use any numbers.
Take a look at the comment in the script which explains it better.

Courses Plus Student 94,610 PointsWhat did you have to do to trick the challenge? I don't remember there being any problems.
What was it that you thought should have worked but didn't?

5,804 PointsFor example, if you write var ten = c * 2 + 2; it does not work. Only + and - operators did not show any problems. So in the las variable, i had to alter the value of variable C, and put c = 100; then write var onehundred...etc

5,804 PointsOk, i checked again and it worked well, thanks. But it seemed more like a math challenge that a code challenge...jajaja

Courses Plus Student 94,610 PointsYes, I agree with you. It seemed to be more about math. So I think there was many possible answers here and some will get you to the target number quicker than others.
I think for 100 I had multiplied c * c * c to get me to 64 and figured out what else I needed to make 100.
