Hello Brilliantics,
Lets make a string of all possible whole numbers by using only FOUR FOURS and +,-,*,%(percentage sign), ^, gamma function, square root , factorial , etc, and you can club the numbers ,that is, you can use 44 or 444 or 4444.
Rule
1) You cannot use any other number but square root and decimal point are allowed

Here are the first few
44-44=0
4/(square root of 4) - 4/4=1
4/4 + 4/4 =2
4/(square root of 4) + 4/4=3
You should make a problem that asks for the number of different combinations that are possible.
44/44=1 (4/4)+(4/4)=2 (4/square root of 4)+(4/4)=3
Can anyone make 2012 using four4's ??
infinite.
