You have four, fours.

4, 4, 4, 4.

You need to use all fours to create the numbers one to twenty, for example:

1 = 4+4 / 4+4


You can use:

+ - / * . √

Plus, Minus, Divide, Times by, decimal points, Square roots, to create the numbers.


I've only got a few so far. :P

I have all of them.
1=4.4/4.4
2=2+2*.4+.4
3=4+4+4/4
4=4+4/4+2
5=4/4+2+2
6=4+4/4+4
7=4/4+4+2
8=2+2+2+2
9=44/4-2
10=2+2+2+4
11=2/.4+4+2
12=4+4+2+2
13=44/4+2
14=4+4+4+2
15=2+2+2/.4
16=4+4+4+4
17=2+4/.4+2
18=2+2*4+2
19=2+4/.4+4
20=4+4+2*2

I used 2 for the square root of four.

i have a good maths problem...


How can you make all the numbers up to 27 using only 4 whole numbers. You can plus, minus, times and divide them. Each number can only beused for each eqaution. There is no need to do anything fancy with the numbers, like squaring them.

I probably won't even start this, but can use you the negative version of the number?
