Pre-sale 847, At-the-door 700 (due to not being sold out)

anonymous · Answer

Look for the combo that does not add up to 1600.

anonymous · Answer

To solve, you have to go through each one-by-one until you hit the combo that adds to less or more than 1600.  That one will be your answer and then you don't have to go through the remaining choices.
