i wish to make 35 using exactly 4 4's
we can use any mathematical operator

Question

anonymous · Answer

for example to make 1 = 4-4 + (4/4)

anonymous · Answer

impossible :-P

turingtest · Answer

I concur!

anonymous · Answer

i know till 34 but got real stuck at 35..

anonymous · Answer

31 was also a real challenge
if u want to give it a try

anonymous · Answer

all odd nos. till 34 could be represented with 4 4's then why not 35?

anonymous · Answer

25 = 4! + $$\sqrt{4}$$ - 4/4

mr.math · Answer

$4!+\frac{44}{4}$.

anonymous · Answer

$$34 = 4! + 4 + 4 + \sqrt(4)$$

$$35 = 4! + \frac {4! - \sqrt{4}}{\sqrt{4}}$$

anonymous · Answer

woahh... super mr math never thought of 44..

turingtest · Answer

wow! is that allowed?

turingtest · Answer

I specifically ignored that b/c I thought that was against the rules, but I never would have though of factorials

turingtest · Answer

thought*

mr.math · Answer

@TuringT: Your medals always level me up! :)

turingtest · Answer

They're special like that :)

anonymous · Answer

If we use 44, can we also use 0.4?

anonymous · Answer

0.4 has a decimal .. 44 uses only 4's . but we can always bend some rules ;-D

anonymous · Answer

0.4 has a decimal but  

sqrt(4) has a sqrt 

and 

4! has a factorial

just some food for thought ...

mr.math · Answer

mever has got a point!

turingtest · Answer

actually I think sqrt is against the rules since it is$$x^{1/2}$$

mr.math · Answer

4!=4*3*2 :P

turingtest · Answer

Well this is less defined than i thought :P

anonymous · Answer

oh .. i dont kow what to say..

anonymous · Answer

we have to use math operators and 4's

anonymous · Answer

I think if we do not allow square roots and factorials, then the puzzle becomes very limited ... I think you can reach 100 with these rules.  If you allow 0.4, then you can reach higher.  

Since it is just a game, set the rules with your friends and stick to them while having fun ...

anonymous · Answer

! and sqrt are math operators ...

Is the decimal a math operator ...?

turingtest · Answer

if math operators are just
*/+ and -
then it can't be don I guess

turingtest · Answer

oh, and ^

anonymous · Answer

is decimal a math  operator??

turingtest · Answer

no way

turingtest · Answer

operators relate numbers together, right?
decimal points just specify the number.

anonymous · Answer

More food for thought:

an operation is an action or procedure which produces a new value from one or more input values
