It's there in the rules bud.
"Insert either a plus sign or a minus sign or neither between the digits"
Example: The numeral 153 is made up of 3 digits ("1", "5" and "3").
Example: The numeral 46 is made up of 2 digits ("4", and "6").

So Niddy did it in 6.
I did it in 7.
Dodgy Lom the cheater is disqualified.
Dodgy Manny cannot do it.
Yeah, right. Nobody believes that.
You've been googling away for days once you saw I failed. So very important to you
BTW, I spent a few minutes on it, failed, and couldn't be bothered. I've been waiting for your comments. You didn't fail me....again.
BTW Nid, my "zero was implied" was a light comment supporting the guy's solution, not a mathmatical pronouncement. And yes, splitting double digit numbers was probably not in the spirit of the puzzle, but you have to expect that sort of sneakiness from Lulu.
Somebody's still unable to do it.
Yes you, you crap, simple-brained 'math teacher' you.
It's really funny the way you get upset over me. Funny in a pathetic kind of way.
And your lying comment about my wife's criminality via a red repo today simply confirms your weakling coward status. You won't be saying that in public any more will you? Pathetic loser.

Not even a 'Thank you' for educating you about the difference between numbers and digits.
Anyone able to better Nid Turing's 6?
Ahh, just gave it a second run out.
5 + or - inserted between the digits.
1234-567-89+101-11-2 = 666
Phew.
I'd have looked a right potato if it equaled 5,798,396.
^ Here you go. Not sure how long you will get to keep it. Sure others are feverishly adding and subtracting.....
While a digit is technically a single character, the range of numbers are clearly interspersed with whitespace for a reason. And, while it does say: between the digits, it doesn't specify which digits. Given the range of numbers and the eg answer it should be clear what is allowed and what is not.
Given the following order of numbers:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
Insert either a plus sign or a minus sign or neither between the digits to make a sum that adds up to 666.
Here is an example of a valid expression but with the wrong answer, ie it doesn't add up to 666.
12-3+456-7-8-9+1011-12 = 1440
