Math problem (simple but hard)
Using the numbers 2, 4, 4, 6, and 6, make the number 55.
RULES 1) You can multiply, divide, add, subtract, square, square root. However, in order to square root a number, you need a 2. Likewise, to cube root a number, you need a 3. 2) You can only use each number once, and cannot do something to the zero power unless you have previously gotten a zero with other numbers. 3) Also, you cannot combine numbers into bigger numbers. (Example (44+66) /2.) Otherwise, you can do anything. |

Re: Math problem (simple but hard)
<font color="white"> ok, so obviously the 2 has to be used to square root somewhere, because it's impossible to get the odd 5 elsewhere. But that's impossible. So square root is out
(4+6)/2 = 5, another way to get an odd number omg multiply by 11 and I win but noooo I can only multiply by 10 HOW DO I GET 11 WITH 4 AND 6 IMPOSSIBLE noooo so close oh well, I claim almost victory (4+6)/2 * (4+6) = 50</font> |

Re: Math problem (simple but hard)
<font color="white">lets all just try to find ways to make 50
6*4 = 24 6*4 = 24 24 + 24 + 2 = 50! i win too!</font> |

Re: Math problem (simple but hard)
<font color="white">6^2 = 36
36 + 6 + 4 + 4 = 50! YEEAHHHHH!!!! </font> |

Re: Math problem (simple but hard)
<font color="white"> the key is using 3 numbers to get an odd number, then using the other 2 numbers to get to 55
alternatively, use 3 numbers to get up to a number, square root it, then multiply by the remaining number not too many combos out there</font> |

<font color="white"> I wasn't aware we could use exponentials...
that could change things, but probably not </font> |

Re: Math problem (simple but hard)
wait, do we still need our 2 in order to square numbers? or can we do that as many times as we want?
