42?
I noticed on MaW and Ripper, The Almost's personal spaces that there's something to do with making your user number add up to 42... Mine was easy:
(1-1+9+5)*3 = 42
But not satisfied with this, I wanted to find more ways...
(9*5)-3+1-1 = 42
(5+1)*(9-3+1) = 42
(5+1+1)*(9-3) = 42
More suggestions welcomed - those are just a few I thought of
Apparently I'm meant to use them in order, so:
1+9*5-1+0-3 = 42
1*9*5*1+0-3 = 42
(-1+9)*5-1+0+3 = 42 (are you allowed to make the first number negative?)
(1+9+5-1+0)*3 = 42
I'm sure there's lots more ways, but I was fortunate, since I had 9, 5 and 3 and 9+5 is 14 and 3*14 is 42... maybe it's always that easy.
