Guest Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 Can anyone make 32 out of two 2s (and no other number) using purely mathematical symbols?

0 Guest Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Hint: calculus or complicated math symbols not required. And yes, only 2 and 2, no other numbers or repititions of 2, no different base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
