Solution

To achieve the target number 1010 using only the numbers 44, 66, 66, and 99 once each, and with the basic arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division), we can proceed with the following solution:

9(4×(6÷6))=109 - \left(4 \times \left(6 \div 6\right)\right) = 10

Here's the step-by-step breakdown:

  1. 6÷6=16 \div 6 = 1
  2. 4×1=44 \times 1 = 4
  3. 94=59 - 4 = 5

This yields 55, so it doesn't directly achieve the target of 10 based on
