Question
Guest
Add mathematical signs to make the following equations true:
1 1 1 = 6
2 2 2 = 6
3 3 3 = 6
4 4 4 = 6
5 5 5 = 6
6 6 6 = 6
7 7 7 = 6
8 8 8 = 6
9 9 9 = 6
You are not allowed to add "numbers" - meaning you could not say, for example: 2 * (1+1+1) = 6
Some of them require some more advanced skills, like parentheses or other equation operators.
Good luck!
