Question from Tony, a parent: Checked out all of the previous inquiries into the crazed game, and found none with these particular numbers: 1, 4, 6, 7. I've tried every method I can think of, please Help! Tks. |
Tony,
Can you use factorials? If so the use that fact that 4! = 24.
Penny
Tony,
Try to make four divided by one sixth.
Claude
Or can you make 8 and 3 with two numbers each? [square roots!]
Or can you get 24 and 1 with two numbers each? [you really only need three numbers, find a way to "lose" the other.]
Good Hunting!
