| Noodlez | How many integers can you make using any number of arithmetic operations and four 4s? Keep going as long as you can. ie: 1 = (4/4) + (4-4) ; 2 = (4/4) + (4/4), ... | April 7, 2004, 2:46 AM |
| j0k3r | 300 = (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) + (4/4) | April 7, 2004, 3:10 AM |
| Noodlez | Too many 4s. | April 7, 2004, 3:38 AM |
| Yoni | 300 = 4^4 + 44 Made a few others but they got deleted by accident | April 7, 2004, 9:39 AM |
| iago | 4 + 4 - 4 + 4 = 0 4 - 4 + 4 - 4 = 0 w00t! | April 7, 2004, 4:02 PM |
| synth | [quote author=iago link=board=36;threadid=6191;start=0#msg53874 date=1081353756] 4 + 4 - 4 + 4 = 0 [/quote] That looks like 8, chief. ;D +4 +4 -4 +4 = 8. | April 7, 2004, 5:31 PM |

| Adron | And now, note that you can write 4+4+4+4!, 4+4+4+4!!, 4+4+4+4!!!, and then stop and think about how many integers you can make using four 4's and any number of arithmetic operations. | April 7, 2004, 6:47 PM |

| UserLoser. | We did some game last year in my Geometry class where there were two teams. The first team to get 100 equations (where the first one results in 1, second = 2, and so on..) using like either 2 or 4 arithmetic operations and the same numbers, won... I forgot exactly, but I know my team lost :( | April 10, 2004, 1:09 AM |
