Re: Make 1000 using 8 8s
Hi goodwinrobert;
While looking to see whether my solution is new ( which I doubt because of it's simplicity ) I came across this page.
http://www.redhotpawn.com/board/showthr … adid=49374
Aginis' solution is brilliant.
Here is mine:
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.
I am willing to wager that over 75% of the new words that appeared were nothing more than spelling errors that caught on.

Hi G-man;
How does that equal 1000?

Re: Make 1000 using 8 8s
phrontister's "CONCATENATE" one is not a solution.
What amounts to (1, 0, 0, 0) is not 1000, so it does
not count.
Signature line:
I wish a had a more interesting signature line.

Re: Make 1000 using 8 8s
Hi reconsideryouranswer;
The concantenate command does exactly that: conc(1,0,0,0) = 1000.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.

Re: Make 1000 using 8 8s
Sorry if this was already mentioned, I didn't see it 
(8x8 +8x8)x8 -8 -8 -8
= 8(64+64) -24
= 1024-24
=1000
