[Legal counting forum game] Counting with four fours

Discussion in 'Forum Games' started by Egeau, Jan 11, 2018.

  1. I have a solution for 107 if 0.4 recurring is allowed...
    (4! * sqrt (4) - 0.4(recurring)) / 0.4(recurring) = 107
    If it's not allowed, I don't know what else could be done really.

    EDIT: (e^4-sqrt(4))/.4-4! = 107.495375083
    It kinda works but needs rounding so not really...

  2. I'll allow it, I have also been trying to get 107, but didn't succeed...

    cheety one again... It is getting harder...
    4!*4+4squared - 4

  3. Ah, I know a maybe cheaty way for 107! Depends on if adding !'s to a gamma is allowed...

    44 / .4 - gamma (4)!! = 107

    110 - (4 - 1)!!! = 107

    110 - 3!!! = 107

    110 - 3 * 1 = 107

    110 - 3 = 107

    110 - 3 = 107

  4. Actually, that could probably just be one ! (so 44 / .4 - gamma (4)! = 107), because
    3! = 3 * 2 * 1 = 6,
    so 3!! would be 3 * 1 = 3.
    3!!! would be just 3 = 3, so that would completely remove that 3 * 1 step. :)

  5. Maybe if you use math.floor(x) you can round it. Not really sure if that is allowed though, since it is not really a math thing but more used for programming

  6. Floor is used in maths, I think, and is usually presented as . :) (you can't write that using Unicode though, I think...)

  7. ⌊x⌋ :)

  8. Ah, cool! That's great! :D

  9. 44 / .4 - gamma (sqrt (4)) = 109

  10. (44/.4)^Gamma (Sqrt(4)) = 110 (easyer ways to remove one four?)

  11. (√4 - 1)! = gamma(√4)

  12. (4 + gamma (sqrt (4)))! – 4 * sqrt (4) = 112
    Ugh I don't like using gamma all the time I need to stop but at this point it is quite hard to.
    It does get easier about here, as 120 is easily achievable using only two 4s- (4 + gamma (sqrt (4)))!
    Then you can just add and subtract the smaller numbers; gamma (sqrt (4)), sqrt (4), 4, gamma (4), 4!!, etc...

  13. If there is a large enough gap, can we assume people are stuck and help / give hints, or should we wait?
    TomvanWijnen and Jelle68 like this.
  14. 44 / .4 + gamma (4)! = 113

    110 + (4 - 1)!! = 113

    110 + 3!! = 113

    110 + 3 * 1 = 113

    110 + 3 = 113

    110 + 3 = 113

    :)

  15. I'd say giving hints after a long gap is a good thing: especially becuase this seems to get exponentially harder :p

    44/.4 + 4
    I am getting the easy ones here...
