Challenge of the four!

  • Challenge of the four!


    Using always 4 times the number 4 making use of any mathematical operation known, we must find the values.


    As an example I made up the number 11. The answers are not unique!


    Does someone to finish the challenge?


    1 = (4 / 4) x (4 / 4)
    2 = (4 x 4) / (4 x 4)
    3 = (4 x 4 - 4) / 4
    4 = (4 - 4) x 4 + 4
    5 = (4 x 4 + 4) / 4
    6 = (4 + 4) / 4 + 4
    7 = 4 + 4 – (4 / 4)
    8 = 4 x 4 – (4 + 4)
    9 = 4 + 4 + (4 / 4)
    10 = (44 – 4) / 4
    11 = [44 / Sqrt(4)] / Sqrt(4)


    12 =
    13 =
    14 =
    15 =
    16 =
    17 =
    18 =
    19 =
    20 =
    21 =
    22 =
    23 =
    24 =
    25 =
    26 =
    27 =
    28 = (4+4)*4-4
    29 = 4!+4+(4/4)
    30 =
    31 =
    32 =
    33 =
    34 =
    35 =
    36 =
    37 =
    38 =
    39 =
    40 =
    41 =
    42 =
    43 =
    44 =
    45 =
    46 =
    47 =
    48 =
    49 =
    50 =


    PS: I'll answer a random number to each day that passes with no answer to the challenge. ;)

  • Well... thanks for this riddle;) But I don't have a clue about 33, 39 and 41...

  • Well … thanks for this riddle;) But I don't have a clue about 33, 39 and 41 …

    This numbers are the hardest one!


    37 = 4!+(4!+Sqrt(4))/Sqrt(4)
    37 = 24 + (24 + 2) / 2
    37 = 24 + 26 /2
    37 = 24 + 12
    37 = 36


    I think it's wrong … :P


    By the way, did you know anything about (4?) operation?


    It's like the 4! = (4 * 3 * 2 * 1)
    4? = (4 + 3 + 2 + 1) - I've saw it at a book …


    Maybe now I can do it … And the others numbers too.

  • Ähm... Evandro... 26/2 is in fact not 12 but 13...
    37 = 4!+(4!+Sqrt(4))/Sqrt(4)
    37 = 24 + (24 + 2) / 2
    37 = 24 + 26 /2
    37 = 24 + 13
    37 = 37
