Question

How can I get the answer 24 by only using the numbers 8,8,3,3.

You can use the main signs add, subtract multiply and divide.

Answer 1

do you have to use them all and can you use them ore than once?

Answer 2

ie 8+8+8 is obviously not what we ware looking for

Answer 3

Well 8*3 is 24, throw away the other 8 and 3 and you're done lol.

Answer 4

8*3 = 8*3

Answer 5

that's a silly question @zzr0ck3r, the numbers are repeating in the list

Answer 6

ok @Abmon98 thnx

Answer 7

Oh I've seen this, but you could use logarithms and factorials, which made it much easier.

Answer 8

take the square root if you have to use them all

Answer 9

Well only +,-, *,/ right?

Answer 10

\(\frac{8}{3-\frac{8}{3}}\)

Answer 11

its always an answer like that^

Answer 12

in fairness I have seen these a bunch

Answer 13

That's right zz ^.^

Answer 14

got it
3/(3/8) * 3

Answer 15

someone times they allow bonus rules and you can get it a different way, like square roots, factorials, ...

Answer 16

some times*

Answer 17

those are harder:)

Answer 18

:P

Answer 19

Hmm interesting, this looks like one of the continued fraction representations of tangles in knot theory.

Answer 20

you have to use three twice and eight twice

Answer 21

8/(3-(8/3))
= 8/(1/3)

Answer 22

i was joking, nin
but looks like abmon's got it, nice

Answer 23

8*3 = 8*3

Answer 24

good job @nincompoop :P

Answer 25

4)(8-3)!/(8-3)
( × )!
( + )!
√(8×8×3×3)
8+(8×(3!/3))
((√(8+8) × (3/3))!
√(8+8) × (3+3)
(log base(3!/3) of 8) × 8
((log base(3!/3) of (8+8))

Answer 26

up is up

Answer 27

Tanya forgot to mention, factorials and logarithms as I mentioned above XD

Answer 28

I like this one √(8+8) × (3+3)

Answer 29

(+)! is a nice emoticon
(x).(+)
