Not quite a logic puzzle, but the four 4's challenge.

Challenge: Using four 4's and any operations, try to write equations that have the numbers from 0 to 100 as the answer.

Example start point.

((4*4)/4)-4=0

Are you saying that the answers have to include all natural numbers from 0 - 100.

Are you saying that the answers have to include all natural numbers from 0 - 100.

Each individual answer is to get to the point of a single integer between 0 and 100. Answers have no relation to any other, independant.

You could time yourself as well, my brother and I did it where we competed to see who could do more, in order, in a half an hour. Exponents, factorials, anything can be used- but exclusively four 4's. No numbers besides and exactly four must be used. I would post internet directions, but many of them include answers or hints to them.

 

[Kas]

Okay 1 is mine

(4+4)*(4+4)/(4*4*4)=1

 

[Frosty]

Okay 1 is mine

(4+4)*(4+4)/(4*4*4)=1

Nope you can only use four 4s, no more.

((4/4)+4)-4=1

 

[Kas]

Nope you can only use four 4s, no more.

Oh I haven't read precisely. (4+4)/(4+4)=1

Edit: It can be fun. I'll think about it later.

Please make a new thread.

Alright, maybe we get a mod to split it?

Ok.

No mod was willing to split this thread. But they are right on their balls to delete my poetry.

So here's another puzzle:

Hi Mal12345,

I've got a solution for this enigma.
But I don't understand yours. Could you say me how to find your solution ?
I agree to say to you mine.

Best regards.

Solution

Okay I got a really mad idea about how to solve this and I needed to check one thing online.

It would be

hbc

Now I'm going to sleep.

Hi Kas,

How do you find that ? I've got a better solution of that...

It's been almost 2 years and I've forgotten my solution path.

Do you remember if you have used the position of prime numbers to solve it ?

Can you explain (best in spoiler tag)?

It was a long time ago and I don't remember exactly what I was thinking but..:

For sure I assumed that I can find more of a pattern seeing numbers, so I translated letters into numbers where a-1, 2-b etc getting the sequence:

2,3,13,5,7,149,11,13,?

All of the numbers are prime numbers and obviously there is a pattern. Bolded numbers are the list of the prime numbers starting from the beginning.

For us though it's the numbers which are not-bolded that are interesting, because it's the sequence with the question mark:
13,149,?; where I'm sure all of the numbers are prime numbers

Until there I don't remember what was my idea. I think a couple of possibilities are possible. Most obvious today would be for me:
13 (as 6th prime number), 149 (as 35th prime number /+29), ?-311 (as 64th prime number /+29)
which translating into letters would be "caa"
but I suppose I had other idea then

It would be impossible to solve without using the position of prime numbers to solve it.

OK, i give you my solution :

2*3 =6 -> the 6ème prime number is 13
5*7 = 35-> the 35ème prime number is 149
11*13 = 143 -> the 143ème prime number is 823

so adi-> 149; 823 -> hbc

I think that it was your idea
