Thank you!

1 + 9 + (4 * 4) + 7 + 9 = 42
which is the same as
1 + 9 + 4 * 4 + 7 + 9 = 42

Ignoring too-silimat results, there are many paths with this one, including :
1*9*4+4-7+9,
(1+9)*4+4+7-9,
19-4-(4-7)*9,
19+4+4*7-9,
1+9-4*4*(7-9),
1*9-4+4*7+9
Would you help with mine, please?

'silimat' => similar

Potholer, thank you so very much! You're a regular genius, especially if you can do all that under the influence of "too much" ... the influence of which I spend a great deal of time under, myself.
Thanks again to you and Argon0 for taking the time to help compensate for my utter lack of mathematical ability. for everyone!

My PC did all the hard work, I just picked a few of the answers it gave me. (That said, I might agree with the genius bit...)

A good time indeed, although I woke up with a brutal hangover the following afternoon...
Fortunately, I have the chance to do it all again over the next couple of days. In the words of Peter & the Test Tube Babies, "I'm getting p***ed for Christmas".
Happy Christmas Argon0, Potholer, and six7s!

Not of course that I'm insinuating anything about your Age...
Would you help with mine, please?
Argon0 (50 and feeling it - back for a bit) Posted Jan 14, 2003
... Or our relative ages rather...
Would you help with mine, please?
Argon0 (50 and feeling it - back for a bit) Posted Jan 14, 2003
... Or, for that matter that you are in any way related to a goat...
Would you help with mine, please?
Argon0 (50 and feeling it - back for a bit) Posted Jan 14, 2003
... Not that that would necessarily be a bad thing...
