Can you make 24?

Eldanor · 31st Aug 2007, 09:07 PM

Numbers that you MUST use - 1,3,4,6 (no combining like 1,3 becomes 13)

You can use subtraction, addition, multiplication and division but note that you may choose NOT to use 1 out of the 4 basic arithmetical operations besides square root or repeating them twice.

CHEEERSSSSSSSSSSSS =P

p/s : No funny stuff like turning 6 upside down to become 9 and go 9 x 3 - 4 + 1 = 24 , THIS IS GOOD STUFF

Uh is it possible to use square or square root?

If so, my answer would be this:

(4^2) + 6 + 3 - 1

4 basic arithmetical operations, eg : plus minus multiply divide ONLYYYYYYYYYYY =)

Eldanor · 31st Aug 2007, 09:24 PM

and uh no repetition of the operations used in the equation

What if I take two 6s and turn one upside down so it becomes a '69'? That is what I would call good stuff. My fav number (pos)... Can do it for 24 (hours) too.

If I don't follow this rule, 6/(1-3/4)

well, it says the numbers we MUST use, but it din say those numbers are the ONLY ones we can use...

and it says u MAY CHOOSE not to use the operations, it din say we CAN'T use all 4, which means there will be 5 numbers...

if this is the case, then (4-1)/3 X 6 +18 = 24

trying to twist my way around it?

Where did your 18 come from?
