While I was slaving on the computer you made some rank.
congratulations my friend.....General Bill

Tea for everyone! On the house ( this is *****'s house Right?)

Re: Math Challenge

Thank you Circus, good eye.
***** paying for the round of teas?

Re: Math Challenge

Noneuclidian geometry theroms, how could I have missed it?

Not exactly.
If no one gets it, I will post the answer tonight or tomorrow morning.

Re: Math Challenge

1 1 1 = 6

2 2 2 = 6 2 + 2 + 2 = 6

3 3 3 = 6 (3 x 3) – 3 = 6

4 4 4 = 6 4 + 4 - √4 = 6

5 5 5 = 6 (5 / 5) + 5 = 6

6 6 6 = 6 6 x 6 / 6 = 6

7 7 7 = 6 7 - (7 / 7) = 6

8 8 8 = 6 8 –4√( 8 + 8 ) = 8 – 2 = 6 this would mean 4th root of ( 8 + 8 )

9 9 9 = 6 9 – (9 / √9) = 9 – 3 = 6

Stil trying ti figure out the first one.

Very good NavalDesign
8 8 8 = 6 the 2 is not valid.
It is actually the cube root: 3√8 +3√8 +3√8 = 6

9 9 9 = 6 is also: 2√9 + 2√9 +2√9 = 6

My brain still on vacation and now it's never planning on coming back after looking at this thread...lol

Sorry...I had to wear the dunce hat a few too many times when it came to math....<shudders as she says that fro mbad memories>...lol

Try factorials.

Yes, 3√8 +3√8 +3√8 is ok. But also, 4√( 8+8 ) = 4√(16) = 2 So 8 –4√( 8 + 8 ) IS 6

Instead, 2√9 = 3 so 2√9 + 2√9 +2√9 = 9 and NOT 6

Beezie what is this foriegn language?....square roots? do you dry them and make tea with them?

You are right, I didn't work the whole formula through and didn't see it 4√( 8+8 ) = 4√(16) = 2

2√9 + 2√9 +2√9 = 9 should be 2√9 + 2√9 - 2√9 = 9 my typo.

1 1 1 = 6

Factorials (1+1+1) ! = 3 ! = 3 x 2 x 1 = 6

I thought root were some thing women dyed brown or blact to keep their blond from showing. LMAO Thanks for the setup General.

2√9 + 2√9 +2√9 = 9 should be 2√9 + 2√9 - 2√9 = 9 my typo.

2√9 + 2√9 - 2√9 = 3 !

My knowledge doesn't reach the "Factorials (1+1+1) ! = 3 ! = 3 x 2 x 1 = 6"

I might have done something like that sometime 25 years ago, but don't remember it any more.

Re: Math Challenge

And since i like going through what i don't know, here is:

BY THE SYMBOL n! ("n factorial") we mean the product of consecutive numbers 1 through n.
n! = 1&#183; 2&#183; 3&#183; &#183; &#183; (n − 2)(n − 1)n = n(n − 1)(n − 2)&#183; &#183; &#183; 3&#183; 2&#183; 1
The order of the factors does not matter, whether backwards or forwards.

0! is defined as 1.

0! = 1

Example. 6! = 1&#183; 2&#183; 3&#183; 4&#183; 5&#183; 6 = 720

Thanks Bill, it's been quite useful.

Re: Math Challenge

2√9 + 2√9 - 2√9 = 3 !

My knowledge doesn't reach the "Factorials (1+1+1) ! = 3 ! = 3 x 2 x 1 = 6"

I might have done something like that sometime 25 years ago, but don't remember it any more.

2√9 X 2√9 - 2√9 = 3 X 3 - 3 = 6

Lol, I can't believe I let that slip by. Thanks
The prefect example of why we should review our work.

I'm thinking bark tea my self...a bit of an after taste but will cure the huge headache from the brain overload I just had ouchie..migraine ....I'm afraid I'm sending the 'doctors' bill to BILL...LMAO...I crack me up on that one...

I thought root were some thing women dyed brown or blact to keep their blond from showing. LMAO Thanks for the setup General.

LOL...blond from showing or premature gray....blame my grand mother but it's supposed to be a sign of wealth in some culture (ok maybe making that up to make me feel better...)...lol
