Here are a few fun little puzzles. I haven’t even figured out the third one myself yet.
You must use numbers
1 2 3 4
in any order and each must be used EXACTLY ONCE.
1. You have to find the largest possible number:
i. Using only the operators + - * /
ii. Using only the operators + - * / and powers
AND THEN
2. If you're really bored, find every positive integer that can be formed using + - * / and powers using 1, 2, 3 & 4 exactly once. There are a lot and I'm not sure how many. Who will be first to find them all?
(There are no restrictions on the use of operators)
