The worlds first riddle!

I 'm having probs getting to 1,000 with the sixes.

I saw that two through five have been posted. Nine is trivial since sqrt(9) = 3, and there is a solution for three. Here's eight:

[sqrt(8^8) - 8*(8+sqrt(8+8))] / sqrt(8+8)

That leaves six and seven (I doubt one is possible).

Here's six:

6! + sqrt(6^6) + (6/6 + 6/6)^6

I got to thinking that maybe sqrt should be illegal since there's an implied 2.

And here's seven:

7!/7 + 7*(7*7-7) - (7+7)

I think we're done.

What has been going on - where are you Try? (Hola TTH!)

I think Try is dissing us. Aloha mismi40!!! (in Hawaii the natives don't think I am a "haole". My sister used to live there and tourists would ask me for directions Laughing

I'm beginning to wonder about eight zeroes.

I've stopped wondering

{[H(0!+0!)+0!]*(0!+0!)}^(0!+0!+0!)

I hadn't heard of hyperfactorial. Now, we're really done.

"Old professors never die, they just lose their faculties!"

Also using the above directions but this time allowed to only use: 1,9,9,9 in this order only, how would I get the answer for: 6 and 9 Question

Ex: "1 = 1 * (9 ^ (1/2)) * (9 ^ (1/2)) / 9"

I can see that TTH...what does "haole" mean? I think you would fit in great in Hawaii!

And I see our friend is back...much missed apparently - I'm always sorry when I express fondness for him...I always seem to be sorry for it later! Laughing

Hello mismi40 Very Happy

"haole" is what native Hawaiians call outsiders

The etymology on that word is fascinating!

If I am allowed to use only 4 two's to complete the mathematical sequences and only allowed to use multiplication, subtraction, addition, division and square root."

How would I get the answer for 7 and 9

Ex: "1 = (2/2) * (2/2)"

Also using the above directions but this time allowed to only use: 1,9,9,9 in this order only, how would I get the answer for: 6 and 9

Ex: "1 = 1 * (9 ^ (1/2)) * (9 ^ (1/2)) / 9"

Love you'll find away.

Furthermore given markr's concern about sqrt:

1000= {6! / [6*(6+6)]}^ [(6*6)/(6+6)]

1000= Double factorial ie. [9!!+ (9*9)] -9-9-9+[9/9]

Tryagain 8 enough 1 way and another enough without trying Catalan or primorial 8's.

Consider yourself welcomed home fated feted fetid Tryagain.

Brilliant! Very Happy

BTW Belated congratulations for your wedding anniversary, (I won't say which one as you look far too young). Not a lot of folk make it that far. Cool

YKW, "Better than some ~worse than others"

I hear that; I hate them others; always looking down on us - who do they think they are?

Sweet lips; ahm fixin ta do that and I've got your number babe, just see if I don't! :wink:

Are you good at math? Complete the last two in this sequence*

(* For the benefit of those with a taste for caffeine + the Predicate Calculus: In mathematics, a sequence is an ordered list of objects (or events). Like a set, it contains members (also called elements or terms), and the number of terms (possibly infinite) is called the length of the sequence. Unlike a set, order matters, and the exact same elements can appear multiple times at different positions in the sequence.)

Too hard for me...I'm so impressed by Math folks! I read the list of numbers and went blank - it happens a lot unfortunately! Laughing

Have a good day TTH!
