    6*8 = 48

    48 + 2 = 50

    50 / (square root of 4) = 25

    bow down plz :bowdown:

      Not only did I not use paper, chief, look at the initial post and my response's time. 6 minute spread, while playing EQ2.

      that's not where i got the 4 hours, i got that from your initial post at 3:15 pm and your comment at 7:34 pm. in between you had 4 additional posts without solving anything, other than Yamori being off by 1 in his subtraction.

      forgetting the fact that the answers to your questions were pretty clear in the description of the problem itself.

      '6' / (square root of '4') = 3
      '8' - 3 = 5
      5 ^ '2' = 25

      if square roots are allowed(doesn't use 2 twice, since the square root of a number is that # with exponent 0.5)

      Listen cocksheath, I had that "solved" already and asked if those functions were able to be used. Since it wasn't specifically stated that I could, I decided it wasn't correct and never posted it.

      Now that I think about it, it isn't allowed.

      Arithmetic doesn't involve ^2 or square roots etc.

      Oh come on guys, he totally knew this answer before it was even posted. How stupid of you to think he didn't know what it was ahead of time! Of COURSE that's why he answered the question!

      well think about it again big guy. last i checked 2 was one of the numbers you were supposed to use. that's why i put those single quotes around 2, 4, 6, and 8. why don't you just leave this thread, and stick with something you're good at like a pie eating contest.

      Are you sure?

      A square is just a shorthand way for notating you are multiplying.

      5^2 = 5x5



      That looks like arithmatic to me...

      It's just a sneaky way of using all the numbers without using any twice.
