Four 4s ongoing challange!

[YT2095]

undoubtedly (I suck at maths) that`s why I showed my working out

[PhDP]

Normally, multiplications are made before additions and subtractions. So your equation would result in 24 - 4 - 2 = 18, with only a little correction;

 

$\sqrt{4}(4!-\sqrt{4})-\sqrt{4} = 42$

 

$44-\frac{\sqrt{4}+\sqrt{4}}{4} = 43$

 

$4! + 4*4 +4 = 44$

 

$44+\frac{\sqrt{4}+\sqrt{4}}{4} = 45$

 

...and copying YT2095;

 

$\sqrt{4}(4!-\sqrt{4})+\sqrt{4} = 46$

 

$4!+4!-\frac{4}{4} = 47$

 

... With $\sqrt{4}$ it's quite easy

[YT2095]

4!+4! =48

 

notice how I only do the easy ones!

With root 4 its way to easy.

[PhDP]

You need to use four 4, even if our definition of "4" is quite... creative.

 

$4!+4!+4-4 = 48$

[YT2095]

I thought it said in the original post, four 4`s or Less, so I didn`t bother to cancel the remaining ones

[jeheron]

This may be an inappropriate place to post this question. I will ask anyway. How do you get the small number images to appear when you write an equation?

[YT2095]

I`ve no idea, I think it`s something to do with Latex commands.

 

!4+!4 = 48

then 48 + 4/4 =49

 

same again for 48 then add (sqrrt4) = 50

 

 

Grrr... I cannot do 51 without using five 4`s, this one`s got me beat!

Use the code from; http://amath.colorado.edu/documentation/LaTeX/Symbols.pdf

 

And place your LaTeX code between [ math] and [ /math] without the space after the [

 

So, rewriting YT2095's solutions for 49 and 50;

 

$!4+!4 + \frac{4}{4} = 49$

[ math]!4+!4 + \frac{4}{4} = 49[ /math]

 

$!4+!4 + \frac{4}{\sqrt{4}} = 50$

[ math]!4+!4 + \frac{4}{\sqrt{4}} = 50[ /math]

[Xyph]

$\frac{4!-\sqrt{4}}{.4} - 4 = 51$

[drochaid]

I know 51 has been done, but as this has been relayed and was considered some time ago, we thought it should be added anyway...

 

From YT2095: I can't get out of my shed untill later but I think the answer is 4!+4!=48+int pi =51

 

and from IRC....

13:55 <+RICHARDBATTY> he called it in at 12:21 uk time

Numbers apart from 4 aren't allowed.

The mathematical constants are, the 48 there is not

The 48 results from 4!+4!, but in any case:

3. You may use any mathematical operations and symbols (not including symbols for other numbers, like Pi, e, etc.)[/b'] you wish.

If we can use numbers like pi and not have them count towards the 4 4s total, then we could just use $\frac{\pi}{\pi}$ to get every number.

Good point

 

I thought I put it as you were allowed, after what you said its probably better that its not then

$44-\frac{\sqrt{4}+\sqrt{4}}{4} = 43$

...

$44+\frac{\sqrt{4}+\sqrt{4}}{4} = 45$

 

Too many 4s' date='

 

[math']43 = 44-\tfrac{4}{4}[/math]

 

$45 = 44+\tfrac{4}{4}$

 

And for anybody complaining that 44 is not valid, you can always replace every instance of it with (4!-4).

I think we're on 52...

 

$4!+4!+\sqrt{4}+\sqrt{4}=52$

so is my post (by proxy) #61 allowed then, or not?

When it starts to get hard, then you may use mathematical symbols but they will count as a four, that should resolve the problem of overuse of the constants

I refute it thus! Your new rule sux.

Fine, read my last post again. Last compramise. You can use them in any way but no more than 4 numbers, constants or what ever in total

$\frac{4!-\sqrt{4}}{.4} - \sqrt{4} = 53$

 

$4! + 4! + \sqrt{4} + 4 = 54$

 

I don't think using constants in any form should be allowed... It defeats the purpose of the game. Why not just leave it as 4 4s, other numbers excluded? Constants will make things far too easy.

[Ducky Havok]

$\frac{4!-(4-\sqrt{4})}{.4}=55$

[The Thing]

Ha I get the easy number:

[math]

4!+4!+4+4=56

[/math]

[The Thing]

And the next:

[math]

\frac{4!-\sqrt{4}}{.4}+\sqrt{4}=57

[/math]
