Puzzle 8 - Four Fours
Popa_Mintin Posted Mar 24, 2005
4³ + 4! x 4º + 4º = 89
4³ + 4! + 4º + 4º = 90
4³ + 4! + 4 - 4º = 91
4³ + 4! x 4 + 4º = 92
4³ + 4! + 4 + 4º = 93
4! x 4 - 4º - 4º = 94
4! x 4 x 4º - 4º = 95
4! x 4 x 4º x 4º = 96
4! x 4 x 4º + 4º = 97
4! x 4 + 4º + 4º = 98
4! x 4 + Sqrt(4) + 4º = 99
4! x 4 x 4º + 4 = 100
Puzzle 8 - Four Fours
Icy North Posted Mar 24, 2005
(4! x 4) + 4 + 4º = 101
(4! x 4) + 4 + SQRT(4) = 102
4³ + 4! + 4² - 4º = 103
(4³ + 4! + 4²) * 4º = 104
4³ + 4! + 4² + 4º = 105
4³ + 4! + 4² + SQRT(4) = 106
Puzzle 8 - Four Fours
Popa_Mintin Posted Mar 25, 2005
4³ + 44 - 4º = 107 
That took some finding 
4³ + 4² + 4! + 4 = 108
4³ + 44 + 4º = 109
4³ + 44 + Sqrt(4) = 110

Popa_Mintin Posted Mar 25, 2005
444 / 4 = 111 Just wanted to get that one in ! (Nearly forgot ! ) 
Puzzle 8 - Four Fours
Popa_Mintin Posted Mar 27, 2005
4³ + 44 + 4 = 112
4³ + 4³ + 4º - 4² = 113
4³ + 4³ + Sqrt(4) - 4² = 114
Struggling with 115 now ! 
Puzzle 8 - Four Fours
Popa_Mintin Posted Mar 28, 2005
Nearest I've got so far is:
int( Sqrt(4!) x 4!) - 4º - 4º = 115
( No I don't like it either)

It's not pretty, but the rules are open to any mathematical functions. I think it's allowable.
I'll have a think about pretty alternatives when I get a moment (started a new job today, so fairly busy)

Oh yes... Congratulations, and good luck.
I hope it all goes well for you, I gather it's been a while coming.

Popa_Mintin Posted Mar 31, 2005
ok then...
4³ + 4³ - 4² + 4 = 116
int( Sqrt(4!) x 4!) + 4 - 4 = 117
int( Sqrt(4!) x 4!) x 4º + 4º = 118
int( Sqrt(4!) x 4!) + 4º + 4º = 119
4³ + 4³ - 4 - 4 = 120

Popa_Mintin Posted Mar 31, 2005
int( Sqrt(4!) x 4!) x 4º + 4 = 121
4³ + 4³ - 4 - Sqrt(4) = 122
4³ + 4³ - 4 - 4º = 123
4º x 4³ + 4³ - 4 = 124
4³ + 4³ - 4 + 4º = 125
4³ + 4³ - 4º - 4º = 126
4³ + 4³ - 44º = 127
44º x 4³ + 4³ = 128
4³ + 4³ + 44º = 129
4³ + 4³ + 4º + 4º = 130

Icy... If you don't like any of these I'll have to think again... (My brain hurts ! ) 
4³ + 4³ + 4 - 4º = 131
4º x 4³ + 4³ + 4 = 132
4³ + 4³ + 4 + 4º = 133
4³ + 4³ + 4 + Sqrt(4) = 134
( 4 + 4º)! + 4² - 4º = 135 Not very elegant !
4³ + 4³ + 4 + 4 = 136
( 4 + 4º)! + 4² + 4º = 137
( 4 + 4º)! + 4² + Sqrt(4) = 138
4^4 - int( Sqrt(4!) x 4!) = 139 Very contrived !
4³ + 4³ + 4² - 4 = 140

Well thanks Popa,
I see I can rely on you to provide all the assistance I need, short of real help
Nice to see you back - I hope it's not just a fleeting visit.
