4 4 4 4 = 19? That's doesn't seem possible, without cheating

Re: 5,000 Credits for an answer to this

4+4+4+4 = 19-1

Addition is hard.

4/4-4x4 = -15

This solution makes me think that there is an answer to it. Do you remember having any negatives of some sort? I mean, I know it isn't the answer, but I'm trying to think of something using the operators you have. I'm not sure it's possible. =l

Re: 5,000 Credits for an answer to this

If the stipulation is that ANY operation can be used, the solution is found thus:

4!-4-(4/4)=19

Not sure if this will count, but it is correct... in fact, I think its the only solution

I think this is the only way

by only using 4s?

Re: 5,000 Credits for an answer to this

I swear it worked. I think it went plus or times then division or subtraction then division or subtraction.

Re: 5,000 Credits for an answer to this

You know neither 4 plus 4 nor 4 times 4 gives you a number higher than 19 and dividing and subtracting from there would accomplish absolutely nothing correct?

Unless you somehow made 4x4 into 20 because you were dumb and that would have yielded a correct answer.

You said the answer got smudged out? I find that hard to believe? Is the answer April fools? or impossible?

Re: 5,000 Credits for an answer to this

If it's either of those things, you shouldn't have made that thread here.

Re: 5,000 Credits for an answer to this

It's not April Fool's. And I the calculator didn't malfunction.

[devonin]

Re: 5,000 Credits for an answer to this

Using only + - * and / (And thus, no brackets, exponents etc, and taking each to mean and only mean addition, subtraction, multiplication and division?

And not doing something moronic like using the / to go over the = to make "does not equal" ?

Re: 5,000 Credits for an answer to this

haha. yeahhh... you can't get an odd number from all 4's. it's impossible

4*4+4/4 = 17

Idiot.
