The four 4's game. Put on your thinking caps.

I'm stuck too. that *&#@! 13 is killing me. I think we should incorporate square root, and root squared and root cubed.



EDIT: First post changed to include them. Let's squash this bastige.

How did you get this? I figured this was something that was directly copied from a book or the internet or something else where the solution was possible using the exact paramaters of the problem? You didn't just come up with this, right and not know the paramaters are correct, right?.:violent5:
 
haha that's cheating so bad allowing the square roots, if anything 4th roots should have been allowed only (it still doesn't get you anywhere really.)
 
shite. 12's math was wrong. had to do it again. lol

12) (4+4+sqrt4+sqrt4)

No, I didn't just come up with this. Math games of this sort are quite common. I simply expanded the setting. Just wanted to see what folks would come up with.


kenny, does that include high school cheerleaders?

No prob. I did a ton of these back in the day. It was nice to stretch out a dusty portion of my brain. I guess by expanding the setting a few were not possible. But it's all cool essein.

And my high school cheerleaders weren't all that hot. We didn't have a football team or a field, so I guess that was why. I went to The Bronx High School of Science. Damn did I want to go to the Bronx High School of Hot Girls.
 
Cool beans. That kind if thinking and problem solving actually helps quite a bit when dealing with technical issues in any kind of Production.

It's actually quite close to some of the ways you have to think about achieving "X" with a limited quantity of what you have. That ceratinly translates to video editing/compositing, and I'm sure lighting and audio as well. To say nothing of 3D.

:)


Next round . . .

Find the equasion that is universal for converting "X" sided 2D shapes into their appropriate "X" sided 3D shapes . . .


or, find the equasion for converting beats per minute into microseconds to be plugged into delay effects, depending on the effect insance, say a delay on the half or quarter beat. That's a doozy. hmmm . . .



just kidding . . . Great job all.
