Re: Arrange Mathematical Operation Using 0-9 to Match the Post Number

TWO*NINE+SIX-SEVEN-FIVE*ONE*ZERO+483 = 500

Looks like 12 letters, some numbers will need to be repeated.

501=0+1234+56-789

Re: Arrange Mathematical Operation Using 0-9 to Match the Post Number

But that one's not the puzzle...the one underneath it is, starting with a square root.

I've now changed the first equation to numeric form, as it doesn't need to be in word form. I had it in word form because that's how I did the other puzzle in post #486, and my mind was still back there when I was making the new puzzle.

0*1-2+3-4-5+6+7*8*9 = 502

Re: Arrange Mathematical Operation Using 0-9 to Match the Post Number

Hi Bobby;

Correct! up

Does your code solve the whole thing, including the square root and factorial components?

0*123456+7*8*9 = 504

Re: Arrange Mathematical Operation Using 0-9 to Match the Post Number

It could deal with the square root, for the factorials I just ignored them.

Re: Arrange Mathematical Operation Using 0-9 to Match the Post Number

It works well! smile

0*1+2+3-4-5+6+7*8*9 = 506

A puzzle:

Each letter in the sum stands for a different single-digit number from 0 to 9.
                                                                       
Find the letter values. The puzzle has a unique solution.

Re: Arrange Mathematical Operation Using 0-9 to Match the Post Number

Hi Bobby;

Correct! up

I knew you'd get it. I tried to give you a bit more to do with this one, though. Did I?

0*1+2-3+4-5+6+7*8*9 = 508

Re: Arrange Mathematical Operation Using 0-9 to Match the Post Number

Time for a new new one already, then, if it struggles with tidbits!

0*1-2+3+4-5+6+7*8*9 = 510

The way I program in M, a supercomputer would struggle.

Re: Arrange Mathematical Operation Using 0-9 to Match the Post Number

Ditto! You know how tight my BASIC programming was because of my poor little Sharp PC-1500 with its 8KB memory that I squeezed everything into but the kitchen sink!! It ran red hot!

0*1*2+3+4-5+6+7*8*9 = 512

Have to go now...catch you later.

Actually I never watch Star Wars and not interested in it anyway, but I choose a Yoda card as my avatar in honor of our great friend bobbym who has passed away.
