Yes it is correct.

Another one is 8!

Re: Can U solve this?

Hi julianthemath

How can 0, 1, 2 and 3 be operations?

How can 0, 1, 2 and 3 be operations?.

I'm curious about this too! That's why I asked if my answer was correct.

Edit: I kind of lagged on that one. dizzy

Why don't you just have it so that people can use any numbers given to "build" the exponent? Might allow for more creative answers.

Re: Can U solve this?

I think he means you must make 5 from those numbers and operators.
