Four Fours

34=4!+4+(4!/4)
My 33=4!+(sqrt4/.4)+4

Yes I can but I can't be bothered.

I shall go stand in the corner

pompa, that's five fours.

33 = 4!+sqrt4*sqrt4/.4’

I'm no good at maths either, which is why I'm leaving this thread to the experts!

Whaaaaat?..

Knitting is the work of the devil

33 = 44 - 44/4

??? I just about get what you are trying to do here. I only got 25% at GCE maths. I just can't do these things without needing a great deal of time to work them out.

Crun Would you like to attempt the 24 rows involved in my cable knitting pattern repeats while I try your calculations?

We all have our individual skills. Maths is not mine.

To quote Fran Lebowitz, "In the real world, there is no such thing as algebra".

You're all insane...

32 = (4×4)+(4×4)

31 = 4!+sqrt4+(sqrt4/.4)

30 = 4! + 4 + sqrt4

No more hints please, it is spoiling it.

29 = (4!+4)+4/4

28 = (4!+4)×4/4

My brain unfortunately does not work that way crun.

Another hint is to not look at each number individually. When you get the solution to one number it presents you with the answer to a whole group of others just by taking the same formula and swapping round a few +/- signs, or inserting/removing a few square roots. (You get 28 from 26 that way.)

"26 = 4! + sqrt4 - sqrt4 + sqrt4"

Or, more simply:

26= 4! + sqrt4 - 4 + 4

27 = 4! + sqrt4 + 4/4

but if you have a look at this one, it will give you a few hints for some of the remaining ones:

27 = 4/.4' * sqrt(4/.4')

25 = 4! - (4/4) + sqrt4

26 = 4! + sqrt4 - sqrt4 + sqrt4

I cant do 25.

Thanks soontobe I typed it in wrong! Hopefully a bit better this morning. I think this one is ok...
24= (4x4)+4+4

23 = 4! - √4 + 4/4

"LOL, my brain has not worked this hard for ages, I love number problems."

Must be an engineer thing. Wait till you get to 89, it took me !#@*ing hours!
