= A

= B

= C

A * B = D

- 2 * = E

- 34 - = F

F * C = G

F - G = H

F / C - H = I

Gonna have to cut it off again, sorry guys.

[Guest]

- = J

J * = K

J * = L

J - K - L = M

B * = N

B * = O

A - D - I - G = P

A / B - I - P - G - O - N = Q

D + I + M + E + M + 2 * H + Q + M + P = ?

One more time(unfortunately, probably the last )! All capital letters are variables.

What fills in the question mark to make the last equation correct?

Note: The rule for multiplication in the previous Smiley Math is not the one used here.

It uses a more logical pattern this time, as does division.

I think I know what '*' and '/' are this time

[Guest]

Yeah, it's not quite as hard as last time, but I thought I'd post it for a little fun.

I probably can't make another though, I'm running out of operations that work well.

[unreality]

how about exponents?

lol ^ car = lcoalr (mix the letters)

percentages?

lol % car = cal (take the lowest-alphabetical letter from the comparison)

pound/number symbol?

lol # car = 3 (average number of letters in the words)

ampersand

ph34r & phil = ph (unison characters) <- though that may be the * in your Smiley 3

double arrows

rags <> rag = s (letters not in common) <- may be your division

exclamation

pasta ! ski = pasta (whichever has more letters)

"at"

four @ loud = two (letter spelling of the number of common-shared letters)

another example:

zap @ zilch = one (not 1, but one)

I could think of lots more

[Guest]

Yes, true, there are many more I could do, but they would be hard to figure out, as they aren't really related to what the operation does with numbers.

I might make anothe, but not for a little while. I guess the real challenge of these now is figuring out what the operations do instead of the answer, as it's obvious once you ge the operations.

how can there be a variable R in the answer if there is no variable R in the hints/equations?

Thank you for catching my mistake. The last line should read:

D + I + M + E + 2 * H + Q + L + P = ?

I failed algebra.

blueberries?

[Guest]

bluebrrims ???

I think Last Line should have been :

D + I + M + E + M + 2 * H + Q + M + P = ?

for "blueberries"

blueberries?

[Guest]

blueberries?

You got it! Ben Law, troglodyte712 noticed that problem and I asked Martini to fix it. It is correct now.

Still not sure if I will make a Smiley Math 4...depends on what operations I come up with. Oh well.

Smiley Math 4, coming to a forum near you...or not.

[Guest]

bluebrrims ???

I think Last Line should have been :

D + I + M + E + M + 2 * H + Q + M + P = ?

for "blueberries"

The answer I got from the problem was "bluebrrims" also, but I knew that wasn't it so I played around with it for a little bit before I thought of blueberries.

[Guest]

bluebrrims ? Could it be blueberries?

[Guest]

Yeah, I think I made a mistake with the last line. The answer is blueberries.

The last line should read:

D + I + M + E + M + 2 * H + Q + M + P = ?

Sorry about the mistake guys, thanks for catching it.
