Ok, this game it's too easy for you, then try to reach exactly 1330.375.
Good luck.
We start with 0

oh god, to reach that number, we need to get 10,643 and divide by 2 3 times. Making a route for that will be though.
lets go to 21286.
starting with getting to 5550 (by multiplying 10 a lot of times), then we multiply 2 times to 22200 and then we go subtract to 21286 which we then can divide by 2 which will set us at samX500's 10643.
current + 2 = 2;

Actually, I just found that by multiplying by 2 1330 a bunch of time, we can get to 21280, which is only 3 +2 away from the goal, 1330 is smaller than 5550 so it should be easier to get to.
to get to 1330, I suggest we get to 670, which multiplied by two is 1340, and then we can negate by two until we reach 1330.
670 is easy to get, after all, it was also part of the way to get to the last goal, in our last run, we got to it by multplying by 2 until we reached 64, then we added up to 70, then we multiplied to 140, then we added all the way up to 170. After getting 170, we multiply 2 times yo reach 680 and we negate to get to 670.
Here, we can improve by reaching 170 by multplying from 10 all the way to 160, which is faster.
It is a quite long journey but here are the step.
1) Add to 10.
2) Multiply to 160
3) Add to 170
4) Multiply to 680
5) Negate to 670
7) Multiply to 1340
8) Negate to 1330
9) Multiply to 21280
10) Add to 21286
11) Divide to the goal of 1330.375
Wow that's a lot of steps.
first step is to reach 10

Thanks sam for taking the leadership!

this is both a half-boring and half-interesting game. i think the concept is tedious to go through, but i like the teamwork and planning. at a certain point, it's basically just us following each others' plans.

When we hit our goal I suggest we aren't allowed to subtract. Instead we are only allowed to add, multiply and divide, will bring even more fun and thinking to this game!

ok lets do what I said earlier. NO SUBTRACTIONS!
lets get to 1000.5?
ok lets do what I said earlier. NO SUBTRACTIONS!
lets get to 1000.5?
so...
since 1000.5 is 4002 divide by 2 two times, and 4002 is 4000 add 2, and no substractions here
so we will have this:
1. add up to 30
2. multiply by 2 to get 60, 120 and 240.
3. add up to 250
4. multiply by 2 to get 1000, 2000, and 4000
5. add 2 to get 4002
6. divide by 2 two times to get 1000.5
this task is EZ, tbh.
I'll start with zero.

I am not sure about the no substraction rule. How do it make the game more fun?
All that's gonna happen is that we will have to spent more time adding. Being able to substract means that we can overshoot a certain milestone and substract down to it, now what's gonna happen is instead of having the choice of eitehr going over the milestone or under it, we are forced to get to a number below a milestone to be able to reach it.
I don't really like it.

but instead we will have to be creative and make a brand new way to get to the goal without being time-consuming.
wtf
i actually am a little torn, i sort of agree with sam.
it can potentially lead to something "creative" but functionally, i only see this to be more time-consuming.

This game is too easy for you... Let's go try... 0.1 !
We start with 0
We start with 0
Okay so here are the step to get to 0.1 using only division by 2
So if we even want to attempt this we need to get to 3602879701896397, getting there will be a pain because it's an odd number so we need to go 2 times larger than that so 7205759403792794. getting there is probably gonna be a pain as well.
Getting to that number is also gonna be horrible because it's far from any power of two so we would need to spend a lot of time adding number before multiplying and making up a route to get there would be a pain. I could make a script to figure a route but I doubt anyone is interested in spening likely around a 100 post to get there.

How can 900719925474099.2 * 2 be 1801439850948198.5?
Wouldn't it be 1801439850948198.4?
0.1 is impossible to attain by just using 2 (I think).

idk, I just used a quick python script to see if it was possible, it's very likely that the code just got number so big that it messed up the calculation.
I also don't think it's possible to get to 0.1 because as a fraction it is 1/10. I am pretty sure that the only number we can get out of diving by two are fraction with power of 2, I could probably make or find a formal proof of what I say but I don't care enough.
