Can I have
Sin( x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x + x ) + (|x – (x + x + x * x + x + x + x)| / x + x) + ( x + x + x / x + x) * x + x + x + x + x + x - x! = 42
Where x = (2 * 2 * 2) / 4 – (7 / 7)

Admittedly I'd struggle to fit it in after my name.
(2*(2/2)*|4-7|)*7 might be nicer, but less interesting.

Being even duller, you could have:
22+2+4+7+7
2+2+24+7+7
2+2-2+47-7
(2*2-2)*(4*7-7)

Hmmm... Acid Overdrive You could use Sin - but using x to represent a bunch of other numbers is kind of cheating - however take your pick from Potholer's Bunch - or use your own...

AK - fancy that! Posted Sep 30, 2003
Thats quite an algebra thingy... but since x=1 its not too hard to do
