A Conversation for The Myth Of 42 [(5-3+0+5) * (6+0) = 42]
Can you add me to the list?

Mine works out as 1 + 1 - 3 - 2 + (9 x 5). Could I be added to the list?

Quite....
Will add...
Promise...
Sometime...
Need more time away from my desk though...
HAve you heard of the offline GuideML editor? That would be very useful, must look into it....

Another way to make 42 from my number:
1 + ((-1 + 3) * 2 * 9) + 5 = 42
Are negative numbers allowed?
Also, if I come up with other methods, I'll reply under this post.

Another method:
11 - 3 + 29 + 5 = 42

there'll be millions of different combinations. have fun finding them all...
peace.

Another:
arctan(1) - (1 + (3 * 2) - (9 - 5)) = 42

How about ....
(11* (3!)) - 29 + 5 = 42

Are you asking me which one I would like added? If so, my answer would be arctan(1) - (1 + (3 * 2) - (9 - 5)) = 42 . It has the arctan in it, which is nice.

Oh, wait, nevermind. I just saw that mine was already added...
Ignore last post.

I may have just been saying its added - or the addition may have just addled my brain...
