any ideas about this?

Let @ be defined by the equation a@b=a3 (a cubed)
Which is greater: x@4 or x@5 ?

This one stumped me...in the original problem, @ was a triangle with * in the center...just a random symbol i guess. Any ideas, please let me know! =)

I'm thinking they're equal.

a@anything = a cubed

so x @ 4 and x @ 5 are both equal to x cubed.

That make sense ?
